In a recent interview with Screen Daily, renowned director Jim Sheridan confirmed that legendary actor Daniel Day-Lewis has no plans to return to the spotlight. Despite Sheridan's desire to collaborate with Day-Lewis once again, it seems that the 66-year-old actor is content with his decision to retire from Hollywood.

Day-Lewis, who has received three Oscars throughout his illustrious four-decade-long career, stunned fans when he announced his retirement in 2017 after the release of "Phantom Thread," a film that earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 90th Academy Awards.

Sheridan, who has previously worked with Day-Lewis on acclaimed films like "My Left Foot," "In the Name of the Father," and "The Boxer," expressed his admiration for the actor's talent. He revealed that he had tried to convince Day-Lewis to return to the industry but ultimately acknowledged the actor's desire to step away from the public eye.

Referring to the overwhelming choices presented by streaming platforms, Sheridan highlighted how the film-watching experience has shifted from the public domain to a more solitary and private one. Despite this, he expressed his hope that Day-Lewis would reconsider his retirement and grace the big screen once again.

Day-Lewis' public appearances have been scarce since his retirement, further solidifying his commitment to stepping away from acting. However, he made a surprise appearance earlier this year at the National Board of Review Awards in Manhattan to present Martin Scorsese with the award for best director. Day-Lewis praised Scorsese, expressing deep admiration for the director's groundbreaking work.

The reclusive actor had also been spotted in May of last year, looking unrecognizable while going about his errands in New York City. The sighting marked his first public appearance in four years, with Day-Lewis seen using his trusty old flip phone as he strolled through town.

In light of Jim Sheridan's confirmation that Daniel Day-Lewis has no intentions of returning to the silver screen, fans will have to rely on the actor's impressive body of work to relish in his remarkable talent. With three Oscars under his belt, Day-Lewis has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the world of cinema.
