“Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor,” his spokeswoman, Leslee Dart, said in a statement. “He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on the subject.”

Day-Lewis is the only actor to ever win three Academy Awards in the best actor category, which he earned for his roles in “Lincoln,” “There Will Be Blood,” and “My Left Foot.” He also earned two other Oscar nominations for “Gangs of New York” and “In the Name of the Father.”
