Daniel Day-Lewis Surfaces at Awards Show as Scorsese Hints at Future Collaboration
Esteemed actor Daniel Day-Lewis graced the National Board of Review Awards with his presence, sparking applause from an appreciative crowd. The critically-acclaimed star took a step away from the limelight in 2017, releasing his last movie, 'Phantom Thread', and has since lived a life away from public scrutiny.
Day-Lewis, who has historically kept his life under wraps post-retirement, made an exception for his friend and director Martin Scorsese. The occasion was to present Scorsese with the best director award for 'Killers of the Flower Moon'. Speaking at the New York event, Day-Lewis acclaimed the director's influence saying, 'With a light of his own making, he illuminated unknown worlds...'
Scorsese, widely recognized for films such as 'The Age of Innocence' and 'Gangs of New York', both of which starred Day-Lewis, reciprocated the actor's sentiments. In his speech, Scorsese teased the possibility of reuniting with Day-Lewis, saying, 'Maybe there's time for one more. Maybe! He's the best.'
Day-Lewis has a storied career spanning four decades that saw him amass numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards for Best Actor. His performances in 'My Left Foot', 'There Will Be Blood', and 'Lincoln' remain iconic.
The announcement of his retirement was made formally by his spokesperson in 2017, emphasizing it was a personal decision and indicating that Day-Lewis would not be offering any further comments on the matter.
Despite his retirement, the actor's recent appearance and Scorsese's comment have sparked speculation and hope amongst fans for one last collaboration between the legendary actor and the esteemed filmmaker.
