Daniel Day-Lewis Refuses Responsibility for Jeremy Strong
During his temporary break from acting, Daniel Day-Lewis became the subject of much debate regarding his Method acting approach. Brian Cox, who is known for his criticism of Method acting, suggested that Day-Lewis’ intense dedication led to his burnout and subsequent early retirement. Cox also expressed regret that Jeremy Strong, his co-star on Succession, followed Day-Lewis’ Method acting example.
Day-Lewis Responds to the Criticism
Daniel Day-Lewis distanced himself from the controversy, stating:
“Listen, I worked with Brian Cox once and got somehow drawn into this handbags-at-dawn conflict inadvertently. Brian is a very fine actor who’s done extraordinary work. As a result, he’s been given a soapbox… which he shows no sign of climbing down from. Any time he wants to talk about it, I’m easy to find.”
He further added:
“If I thought during our work together I’d interfered with his working process, I’d be appalled. But I don’t think it was like that. So I don’t know where the fuck that came from. Jeremy Strong is a very fine actor, I don’t know how he goes about things, but I don’t feel responsible in any way for that.”
Day-Lewis on Method Acting Influence
Day-Lewis reemphasized that Method acting is not a cult he leads or influences others to follow. He doesn’t believe his approach significantly impacts his co-actors. Jeremy Strong has aligned with this view, describing Method acting as “a very solitary thing.”
Summary: Daniel Day-Lewis dismisses any responsibility for Jeremy Strong's acting choices and refutes claims that his Method acting has negatively influenced others.
