The acclaimed actor announced his retirement from the industry six years ago and has very rarely been seen in public since, saying at the time that his decision to retire was a ‘private’ one.
Daniel, 66, has since 2017 been living a much quieter life away from the glitz, glamour and spotlight of Hollywood, and has made headlines after being seen out and about for the first time in years.
The Oscar winner, best known for phenomenons including My Left Foot and There Will Be Blood, sported a totally new look, having grown his hair out to his shoulders, his silver curls packed under a baseball cap.
And, far from the sharp tuxedos of awards shows, the former actor dressed comfortably in a black hoodie, striped t-shirt and yellow trousers.
Daniel looked in good form as he flashed a smile to the cameras while walking hand-in-hand with wife Rebecca Miller, 60, who he married in 1996.
The couple have two children, sons Ronal Cal, 25, and Cashel Blake, 21, with Daniel also having son Gabriel-Kane, 28, from a previous relationship.
Even before retiring, Daniel had long kept his private life out of the spotlight, and announced his retirement in a seriously low-key way.
In 2017, the news came via a statement from his reps which read: ‘Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor. 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.’
His career had spanned four decades and saw him play roles from every walks of life, from US presidents to gang leaders, as well as the incredible true story of Irish artist Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy and worked using only his left foot.
