description: "Three Oscars for Best Actor — a record no one else holds — and a habit of vanishing between roles, once to make shoes in Italy. He's the actor other actors study: total immersion, no interviews, and a stage exit mid-Hamlet that closed the theatre chapter for good."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in London on 29 April 1957, Day-Lewis trained at the Bristol Old Vic and spent the early 1980s moving between the Royal Shakespeare Company and film. In 1989, playing Hamlet at the National Theatre, he broke down mid-performance when his father's ghost appeared onstage and never returned to the stage. His breakout came with My Beautiful Laundrette, A Room with a View, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being in the mid-eighties. He won his first Oscar for My Left Foot in 1989, his second for There Will Be Blood in 2007, his third for Lincoln in 2012 — the only actor to take Best Actor three times. He retired in 1997 to apprentice as a shoemaker in Italy, returned in 2000, then retired again in 2017 after Phantom Thread. In 2025 he came back for Anemone, a film he co-wrote with his son Ronan, who directed.
