Per The Guardian, he made a statement regarding retirement that read, “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.”
The three-time Oscar winner went on to live quietly and privately for the next seven years. But it seems the veteran actor is back on set to support his son’s directorial debut.
Focus Features confirmed Daniel’s son, Ronan Day-Lewis, will direct Anemone, in which his father will star.
Focus Features shared on Instagram, “Focus Features & Plan B partner on Ronan Day-Lewis’s feature directorial debut ANEMONE, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, & Safia Oakley-Green.”
