Method acting claims upset legendary actor
Western Daily Press
|November 03, 2025
OSCAR-WINNING actor Sir Daniel Day-Lewis has said the misrepresentation of his method acting “pisses 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).
He told the Big Issue: “I just don’t like it being misrepresented to the extent it has been.
“I can’t think of a single commentator who’s gobbed off about the method that has any understanding of how it works and the intention behind it.
“They focus on ‘oh, he lived in a jail cell for six months’ (for In The Name Of The Father). Those are the least important details.
“In all the performing arts, people find their methods as a means to an end.
