Oscar-Winner Daniel Day-Lewis Ends Eight-Year Retirement for Son’s Film

Daniel Day-Lewis, the three-time Oscar-winning actor, has ended his eight-year retirement to star in "Anemone," a film directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis. The film, co-written by father and son, explores complex family relationships and is set to premiere at the New York Film Festival before an October release. Day-Lewis explained that while he never truly intended to retire, he stepped away from acting to focus on different work and due to the emotional toll the filmmaking process took on him. His son's insistence that he participate in the project was a major factor in his return, despite his reservations about re-entering the public eye. Day-Lewis described his comeback as a deeply personal collaboration and expressed joy in working with his son again, contrasting it with his previous retirements. The film is expected to generate significant attention during awards season and may mark the start of a new phase in his career.
