Daniel Day-Lewis Comes Out of Retirement to Star in Son's Debut Film, Anemone

Daniel Day-Lewis is coming out of retirement to star in his son Ronan Day-Lewis' feature directorial debut, Anemone.

Ronan Day-Lewis is an accomplished painter and filmmaker whose work has shown widely in the United States and whose debut international solo exhibition opens this week in Hong Kong, with additional upcoming shows in New York City and Los Angeles. Soon after Phantom Thread, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, a rep for Day-Lewis announced that the acclaimed performer would “no longer be working as an actor.” She added that he was “immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years.” For years after his retirement from acting, Day-Lewis maintained such a low profile that he set off massive press attention just by being photographed walking around New York City in spring of 2023.
