Daniel Day-Lewis' Kids Barely Found Out That He's An Oscar-Winning Movie Star
Daniel Day-Lewis, seen here working a pair of glorious wolf brows at the Santa Barbara Film Festival last night, has done over two dozen movies, has two Oscars, travels all over the world for his job and probably sometimes has to sign the left foot of fans who slobber on him in public. But even though Daniel Day-Lewis spends a lot of time with his kids, since he doesn't act in movies back-to-back, they barely found out that he's THEE Daniel Day-Lewis. They thought he was in construction! DDL said this to The Sun and The Mirror (via Digital Spy):
"Some actors work back to back because they have to, and I completely respect that. If financially I found my family needed me to do that then I would find some way of doing it. Thanks be to God I haven't been put in that position. I may be very uneasy - truth is I'd probably sooner go and try and find work in the construction crew than make films back to back."
Speaking of working in construction...
"[My three sons] didn't even know what I was doing until a couple of years ago. In fact, my 14-year-old boy was asked what I did and he said, 'I think he's in construction'. That's how much they know!"
Does DDL not have TV, internet or current day newspapers in his house? Does DDL keep his three sons locked in a tree house and the only living things they're allowed to talk to are birds and butterflies? Are DDL's sons Nell? I mean, how can you be a teenager and not know that Daniel Day-Lewis is your dad?!
But you know, I bet DDL's kids didn't only think he was in construction. During the late 90s, DDL always came home with black eyes and he cursed all the time while mumbling about prison life, so they thought he was an ex-con turned boxer. In the early 2000s, DDL grew a curly moustache, carried a butchered rabbit body and talked in a funny accent while threatening everybody with his knife, so his kids thought he was an old timey New York City crime boss. Then a few years ago, DDL always wore a top hat and every time he'd see a black person, he'd grab their hand while saying, "I will free you soon," so they figured he was the 16th President of the United States.
And since DDL's kids thought he worked in construction, we all know what he's going to be in his next movie. Yes, he's going to play a construction worker and yes, he'll win all the Oscars for it.

This is not surprising. I've seen all his movies, but wouldn't be able to pick the real DDL out of a lineup.
I bet Angelina's Joli's kids brag about who their parents are to their friends.

His kids are Irish. "Father" to them is a man in a collar who gives them handjobs.
Hahahaha
Very odd that he wouldn't discuss his career with his kids, if we are to believe it. Are they also unaware that one Grandpa was a famous poet and the other a film producer?
Jennifer Lawrence has pride in herself without sounding douchey, which is nice. I like that she doesn't starve herself, and is a positive role model for girls/women. I enjoyed Winter's Bone.
But, I don't think that she is Meryl-level.
Jennifer Lawrence is gorgeous. Beautiful eyes, perfect skin and she still has that baby fat on her face. There is nothing average about that face.

So weird that you mention that. I was listening to a podcast this weekend that mentioned how great it is. I think it's on Netflix streaming.
----------------------------------------------------
My obsessive fascination is in your imagination.
Agree with everyone who says this sounds like a pretentious twat-waffle statement. However, I still think DDL is handsome, despite that unfortunate eyebrow situation.
=============================
"That's an awfully high horse sir, may I pet him?"
My first thought is that he must not spend time with his kids. Because that's what you say about a father who's never there, for whatever reason.

Whams I should be back Thursday or Friday... Have a good week. Mani.. I'm always surprised by people. People's press doesn't always match who they are with their own friends.. But Miss Perry is. Certifiable. And rude. I don't have time in my small little life for that kind a person.
Now is the time. You're not promised tomorrow. -PR
Whamo, :)
I have a friend who did KP's makeup on a set, and said she was very sweet. I refuse to believe it. I can't stand her. I like VOB's story better. *sticks out tongue* ha

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

But me myself I got nothing to prove
He wasn't there.. She on the prowl.. So maybe they are just a what ever couple too. She was, very single last night. ::: as you know.. I was talking to you.. So irl .. They were having a ball while we discussed movies. This was the morning after recap of what I missed. I'm too old to go to this kind of party and feel comfortable.. But I always cracks up to hear what I missed. :::
Now is the time. You're not promised tomorrow. -PR
@ VOB... :) I have to crash soon so good night there, I'll catch up with you tomorrow:D

Salty.. Some friends were at an after -after party last night. I was surprised to hear that Katy Perry was a complete ass. Rude. Acting like she was the center of it.
I really wouldn't expect anything less from Katy Perry. She is like the giant ham sitting in the middle of the dinner table.

@VOB, ugh, Katy sounds insufferable. John's douchedom must be catching. Don't know much else about her other than Russell. Both have always needed a hot bath. Hi!

JL also appears to have her original, lovely if imperfect nose, which should be the norm for someone her age but as we all know isn't--at least in Hollywood.
Sorry to burst your bubble babe, especially since I quite like Jennifer Lawrence too. But young photos of her surfaced and it's clear she's had a massive nose job.
Quite took the shine off her for me, since I've always thought of her as an all-natural stunner.

Lol, I stand corrected.. she's still just a youngun more to my point part of the reason she has such nice skin:P I really have no judgment on her as I've never seen anything she's done but it does sound like she has a great career ahead of her.
Salty.. Some friends were at an after -after party last night. I was surprised to hear that Katy Perry was a complete ass. Rude. Acting like she was the center of it. The party wasn't for her.. Or hosted by her.. People were so tired they didn't want to deal.. They just kept texting what a little midget full of herself crazy twat she was.. And they were talking about her right in front of her.. And she was so self involved.. She just keep on doing her its all about me thing. People that know her feel bad for Russel Brand. I've never met her.. But found the rouge ego interesting.

Sorry but I think that makes him sound like a petentious twat waffel, I know way too many celebs are full of themselves and career obsessed but really I respect people like Catherine Zeta Jones who unabashedly talks about going for $1000 caviar hair treatments more than people like DDL who claim to be above it all or Jenner Garner types who pretend they're "just like us".
___________________________________________
Agree, I don't appreciate the false modesty from celebs. I love CZJ for not making any apologies. One of the worst at this is Johnny Depp, when he claimed he works as much as he does, "for the kids". I'll bet he hardly saw his kids when he was making one blockbuster after another. Clue to Depp, kids don't need a dad who can afford his own island.

Noice DDL never pulls a Joaquin Phoenix and says he doesn't care about the awards, only the work (the industry responded by giving him no awards and DDL sucks up to them and gets every award).
Also, it makes his kids sound kinda dumb....I knew who Daniel Day Lewis was when I was 10, how do his kids not know at 14?
How many of you horz have hand cramps (No) from clipping coupons from the Sunday papers? I'd raise my hand, but I might shart.

The best acting by Daniel Day Lewis, in my opinion, was in "My Beautiful Launderette". The gay sex scene with the Indian actor was and still is great fapping material for me--yowsa!
Emily Mortimer is another of my favorite actresses. She's kind of plain, but she's been in a lot of good movies and she's talented.
is this as good a place and time as any to say that sometimes, i need this place more than is reasonable? goddamn the week i have had.

This makes total sense, considering he's only made 4 movies in the past decade, and shooting must take a few months a year each time.
Plus supposedly one of his passions is wood making, no wonder the kids thought he worked in construction.
I thought Lincoln sucked but he was amazing in it, as always.

i'll give JLaw a meh+ [i think her best work is to come but she has well handled what she has been given thus far]. in the actresses of that ilk in addition to Banks and Portman [overlooking her attempted ruination of Thor], i like Chloe Grace Moritz, Emily Browning and the young lady in Soul Surfer
now watching beginning of show. wtf was wrong w/Ed O'Neil on stage?! did he know where he was? lmao

JLaw is kind of meh, AnnE somehow manages to combine pompous with homely, and Jessica Chastain is just gawky looking. I like Elizabeth Banks and Natalie Portman.

I still don't know what my dad does. Something to do with money???
Anyway, hurray for construction workers. Speaking of which, I gave BF the choice of two movies to see tonight: Zero Dark Thirty or Silver Linings Playbook. Surprisingly, he chose Silver Linings. We both liked it and laughed in parts. It's the best "date movie" I've seen in a long time. I won't call it a rom-com because I hate those, even though the movie has some rom-com elements, like you totally know Brad and JLaw are going to get together in the end. What makes the movie interesting is how flawed the characters are and how the plot has enough twists to keep you interested. I thought the movie dealt very well with the mental illness characterization. Bradley Cooper is nuts, but he's determined to find those silver linings, which makes him likeable, even though he is explosive and hyper. The acting from the supporting characters really helps the movie along. The audience was made up of mostly older white couples, like senior aged. I wondered if some of them had adult children living at home, like the BCoop and JLaw characters. Overall, I thought it was very good, but not Oscar caliber because it was a bit formulaic. It gets a CJ and BF thumbs up, though!
