Ever since his retirement in 2017, popular actor Daniel Day-Lewis has lived a very private life with little or no public outings. However, the 66-year-old was recently pictured on the streets of New York taking a walk with his wife, director Rebecca Miller. Day-Lewis sported a casual yet vibrant ensemble consisting of yellow sweatpants paired with a black zip-up hoodie and a stylish blue striped shirt while also adorning a black baseball cap. Adding some flair to his outfit, the actor accessorized with silver jewelry and also wore a pair of sunglasses to shield his eyes from the sun. Notably, his hair appeared longer, thus making him look a bit different.

He stated that it was time for him to move on with his life because acting was no longer giving him the satisfaction he wanted. "I haven't figured it out," Day-Lewis confessed. "But it's settled on me, and it's just there… I dread to use the overused word 'artist,' but there's something of the responsibility of the artist that hung over me. I need to believe in the value of what I'm doing. The work can seem vital. Irresistible, even. And if an audience believes it, that should be good enough for me. But, lately, it isn't."
