Daniel Day-Lewis cross' method acting is associated with behaving like a lunatic'

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."

"Oscar-winning star Daniel Day-Lewis has bemoaned people using method acting to imply that someone is behaving like a lunatic. The 68-year-old actor, who has been known to fully immerse himself in a role, believes the term has become associated with actors who behave badly on set. I don't really like thinking of acting in terms of craft at all, said Day-Lewis, who is returning to acting in the film Anemone after an eight-year hiatus."

The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating issues like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, maintaining on-the-ground reporting, avoiding paywalls, and relying on donations to fund journalism that reaches across the political spectrum. Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis criticized the casual use of 'gone full method' to imply lunatic behavior, noting that the method has become an easy target and that attention often focuses on self-flagellation, severe discomfort, or mental instability rather than the core work of acting.
