Day-Lewis hits back at method 'criticism'

OSCAR-WINNING actor Sir Daniel Day-Lewis has said the misrepresentation of his method acting "p****s me off" as it is "invariably attached to the idea of some kind of lunacy".

Sir Daniel, 68, known for using method techniques that focus on psychological and physical immersion, is said to have lived in a tent on a deserted Texan oil field during the making of There Will Be Blood (2007) and spent two or three days in a prison cell without food and water to play Guildford Four member Gerry Conlon for film In The Name Of The Father (1993).
