In October 2024, it became known that Daniel Day-Lewis plans to return to acting to appear in his son Ronan Day-Lewis's directorial debut.

The Oscar-winning actor last appeared on screen in the 2017 film 'Phantom Thread', which was dedicated to London's fashion industry in the 1950s.

Now 27 years old, Ronan is working on a new film 'Anemone', which will premiere at the New York Film Festival and will be released worldwide in October.

Besides Daniel, the cast includes notable figures such as Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.

He graduated from Yale University and previously worked on a short film 'The Sheep and the Wolf's View', as well as a video trilogy for Les Enfants Terribles.

Ronan is also an artist and is holding an exhibition in Hong Kong.

He grew up in a family connected to the entertainment industry, as his father is Daniel and his mother is director Rebecca Miller.

Additionally, his grandfather was the late playwright Arthur Miller, who was once married to Marilyn Monroe.

Ronan has two brothers: Cashel, with whom he shares one mother, and Gabriel, who was born from his father's first marriage.

Ronan's father is considered one of the best actors of his generation.

He has won the Oscar for Best Actor three times in films 'My Left Foot', 'There Will Be Blood', and 'Lincoln'.

Daniel is known for his acting methodology and is willing to make extreme sacrifices for his roles, even if it threatens his health.

In the film 'In the Name of the Father', he ate in prison and did not sleep, resulting in a broken nose and damaged spine during training for the film 'The Boxer' in 1997.

Daniel is known for his careful choice of roles, having appeared in only six films in the last 25 years.

In 2014, he was knighted for his contributions to dramatic arts.

Previously, he shared that he was a 'very attentive father' and admitted that his life is 'enriched in every respect thanks to my boys'.

“I, like my parents, endlessly say: 'When I was a child' — and who cares? They don't care. It's their experience that matters.”

“You notice your parents' traits in yourself, even though you vowed not to become like them. And yet you become.”

Against the backdrop of recent developments in the film industry, Daniel Day-Lewis's return generates great interest. The actor, who has long been absent from the screen, is returning to work, reaffirming his reputation as one of the most talented representatives of contemporary cinema. His son Ronan's directorial debut could become a significant moment for both of them, both personally and professionally. Both actors, despite the age and experience difference, demonstrate a deep connection and shared values in their creativity.
