💨 Abstract

Sir Daniel Day-Lewis expressed frustration over the misrepresentation of his method acting, which he feels is often portrayed as "lunacy." He emphasized that his techniques, like living in isolation or extreme conditions, are misunderstood and not the core of his process. Day-Lewis clarified that his approach is about creating an authentic, living character, not sensationalism. He also defended Jeremy Strong, dismissing claims that he influenced Strong’s method.
