    Just watching his movies, you already get that he's a special actor. But it's when you watch him in interviews like this that you realize how great he is. It's really impressives when you see how different he is from the roles he's played. His voice, his manners, everything. The guy manages to change everything about himself when he gets into a role. That's crazy.

    I hated the male actor in 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'. I really hated him. Ugh.
    Then I found out that I shouldn't hate the actor, I should hate the character.
    Then I found out that the real reason why I *SO* hated the character was that the actor was *SO GOOD*. He really invoked genuine, strong emotional responses in me.
    Since then, my hate for Daniel Day-Lewis has turned into admiration. It's weird. It's really weird coming from hating a particular person into loving him. Today, when I'm older, I don't care much for easy 'fanmanship' or superficial 'admiration'. Today I care for the artists that have pushed my life into a certain corner. I guess DDL is among them.

    Watched Gangs of New York a few years ago and was in love with Bill the Butcher (one of my absolute favorite villains). Naturally wanted to see an interview with the actor. It is absolutely mind blowing how this guy completely transforms into a different person. Not what I was expecting at all and I mean that in the best way possible. True art and talent.

    • @andreawalbridge950
      @andreawalbridge950 Před 3 lety +1

      Have you seen "Last of the Mohicans?" His transformation into the role of Native American is incredible. Do a little research on how he prepares his character role, it's fascinating and he becomes consumed with taking on the personality of his character. Once he finishes a movie he goes into a period of mourning and it will be several years before he accepts another. The man is remarkable and veeeeerrrryyy easy on the eyes.

La sua difficile e non banale bellezza, ma unica, la sua voce, unica anch’essa, il suo inglese, elegante, impeccabile, i suoi accenti, inimitabili, il suo garbo, la sua riservatezza, la sua inarrivabile eleganza!!! Questo è un uomo che tutti gli altri vorrebbero essere, complessità incluse, che lo rendono, se possibile, ancora più speciale!! Di Caprio? Chi è costui? Chalamet? Ma per favore!!! Ragazzino presuntuoso e insulso! E giù per li rami… rassegnatevi è il più grande in tutti i sensi, GOAT!

    Sir DDL is the best actor Hollywood has ever produced. I think he is the best actor to follow if you want to pursue in acting.

    Has anyone else noticed the similarity in the way he speaks - with George Harrison‘s?

    There are interviews on the net of DDL being interviewed by english people where he has a very posh english accent. Here he is interviewed by an irish person and you can here him say "diss" and "dat". Chameleonesque.
