Tom Hardy is as versatile an actor as they come, playing the tattooed, 19th-century adventurer James Delaney in Taboo (2017), Bane in The Dark Knight Rises (2012), and tousle-haired spy Ricki Tarr in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011). His two most recent transformations, though, are next-level impressive. For Venom, he turns into a murderous “symbiote” with […]
It’s not often we get to see Daniel Day-Lewis let loose on set. Surely he’s too serious an actor for that! Well, yes and no. A new clip released yesterday (March 29) from Phantom Thread shows the Oscar-winning star in a very different light. The scene in question didn’t feature in the final film, which opened in theaters […]
Gary Oldman bagged the Best Actor award at the BAFTA Film Awards last night (February 18), beating Daniel Day-Lewis in a race that will be replayed next month at the Oscars. The two critically-acclaimed actors take roles sporadically, so it’s unusual that they should both have films out in the same year. Gary was famously transformed into wartime […]
This month has seen a couple of musical behemoths announce their retirement: first Neil Diamond, then Elton John, who revealed last week his next tour will be his last. At first we were a little heartbroken at the news, but then we remembered all the stars who’ve threatened not to work again, only to return a few years later. Below is […]
Sir Daniel Day-Lewis has spoken publicly for the first time about his decision to quit acting — first announced back in June — saying the making of his latest film left him “overwhelmed” with sadness. “I haven’t figured it out,” he told W magazine. “But it’s settled on me, and it’s just there. […] [It] happened during the telling of the story, and […]
Sir Daniel Day-Lewis surprised everyone yesterday (June 20) by announcing that Phantom Thread, his next collaboration with There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson, would be his final film. The 60-year-old actor made the statement through his agent Leslee Dart, who told Variety that as of now Daniel “will no longer be working as an actor.” Wait, what? Is […]
Acting legend Sir Daniel Day-Lewis is an elusive beast, making movies that are few and far between, and rarely glimpsed, even in his natural habitat: London. Last weekend, though, he was spotted in Whitby — a seaside town on the north-east coast of England, made famous by Irish author Bram Stoker, who used it as the setting for his gothic […]
Some exciting news from Tinseltown: Variety is reporting that Daniel Day-Lewis and director Paul Thomas Anderson are working together again on a project set in the New York fashion world in the 1950s. The as-yet-untitled movie marks the Oscar-winning actor’s first role since 2012’s Lincoln, which bagged him his third (that’s right: third) Best Actor Oscar, after There […]
It’s November and you know what that means: men donning moustaches worldwide in the name of prostate cancer awareness. While some of our favorite Brits might be sprouting whiskers in support of the cause, warming their upper lip for a role, or wearing a lip wig as a fashion statement, it’s a bit of fun to take a […]
The Queen’s Birthday Honours List was announced yesterday, and it seems we have a new theatrical sir to add to an already enormously impressive list. Daniel Day-Lewis is to receive a knighthood, putting the three-time Oscar winner on a par with Sirs Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Kenneth Branagh. He is one of 1,149 people […]
