Daniel Day-Lewis says he never truly meant to leave acting, despite his announcement in 2017 that he was stepping away from the profession.

“Looking back on it now—I would have done well to just keep my mouth shut, for sure,” the “Lincoln” star told “Rolling Stone” on Sept. 10. “It just seems like such grandiose gibberish to talk about. I never intended to retire, really. I just stopped doing that particular type of work so I could do some other work.”
