The Oscar-winning performer has announced his exit from the craft via a statement by his representatives<\/b>
\nAccording to a statement from his representatives, Daniel Day-Lewis has retired from acting. Through the statement, Day-Lewis spokesperson Leslee Dart told the publication, \u201cDaniel 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.\u201d Dart\u2019s statement continued \u201cThis is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject.\u201d No further reason or rationale for the decision was given and Day-Lewis himself did not offer a comment. If, indeed, this is the end of Day-Lewis\u2019 life as an actor, it brings to a close a career that spans 46 years, multiple awards and seen the son of the former Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, Cecil Day-Lewis go from a strikingly beautiful face with unavoidable talents into perhaps our greatest, most idiosyncratic big-screen performer. From his first uncredited role in the background of 1971\u2019s \u201cSunday Bloody Sunday\u201d to the Oscar-Winning 1989 performance in \u201cMy Left Foot\u201d that cemented him as one of his generation\u2019s best, most dedicated screen actors, Day-Lewis\u2019 early career was marked by engaging, often charming appearance in genres ranging from neo-kitchen-sink dramas (\u201cMy Beautiful Laundrette\u201d) , to historical epics (\u201cGandhi\u201d, \u201cThe Bounty\u201d) , to prestige romance (\u201cA Room with a View\u201d, \u201cThe Unbearable Lightness of Being\u201d) . After heating up screens and box offices with his rare action-star turn in 1992\u2019s \u201cLast of the Mohicans, \u201d Day-Lewis offered up a long string of probing, arresting performances in often grueling roles, \u201cIn the Name of the Father\u201d, \u201cThe Boxer\u201d, \u201cThe Gangs of New York\u201d and \u201cThe Ballad of Jack and Rose\u201d among them.<\/p>\n
