I do understand though and yes, he has earned the right, although I will hate no future films. link "“Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor,” a spokesperson for the “Lincoln” star said in a statement to Variety. “He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject.” Day-Lewis, 60, currently has one film in post-production, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread,” which is set to hit theaters this Christmas. The movie follows a dressmaker in London in the 1950s who’s commissioned to design clothing for members of high society and the royal family. Day-Lewis will reportedly promote the film, an individual familiar with his plans told Variety..."

What a loss to the profession. Looking forward to his last film. He's always been a private person in RL. Once in awhile some paparazzi would snap some photos of him and his family but that was a rare occurrence. The stories that resonate with me are those that other cast relate about how he prepares for his roles by total immersion into the character. While I thoroughly enjoyed all his films, my favorite by is "Last of the Mohicans". " My Left Foot" was amazing. His wife is Arthur Miller's daughter who is a director - they met on the set of " The Crucible". Because of his privacy standards, I wonder if he will ever disclose his reasons for retiring from acting. I wish he and his family well.

I'm not sure why actors feel the need to announce retirement from acting, especially if they're close to an age where people in most industries are starting to retire.
