Daniel Day-Lewis Meets The Press, 1990

[mariannora]

what a great actor, pretending he has to think before answering questions he had already answered a thousand times!

[ShaneC27]

I remember the scenes in Ireland when he won, the country went nuts! Who cares if he is English, he's done so many Irish films over the years and taken the country to his heart to such an extent that we have subsequently adopted him as one of our own. Jack Charlton was English, St. Patrick was Welsh, Michael Flatley is American..... go figure!

[ShannonSam1]

@ShaneC27

Good point. American citizens born and raised elsewhere are often just called Americans. Why shouldn't it be the same for an Irish citizen?

[rainaromes]

I am sooo in love with this man! Love love love Daniel.

[cinemapsycho91]

Can't wait to see him as Abraham Lincoln in Spielberg's new biopic!!!

[cinemapsycho91]

THE ULTIMATE METHOD ACTOR OF ALL TIME!!!

[Symmetryful]

DDL has to be the most contemplative person I've ever met! He's just so damn thoughtful!

[ShannonSam1]

@Symmetryful Have you met him? if so, do tell.

He does seem to be very thoughtful in every interview. In the Charlie Rose interview promoting the Ballad of Jack and rose with himself and his wife (the writer and director of the film), he did a much better job of describing her movie than she did. He should write because he talks like a writer and contributes to his characters like a writer (inventing characteristics and even some dialogue that wasn't in the script)

[iloveneytiri]

Whens he thinking listen to the room. Complete silence. Just a measure of the respect he commands. As an aspiring actor/writer he is the ultimate inspiration and template. Mixed with his incredible intellect is a brave, dedicated actor. The greatest.

[hardrinker1989]

hes a true englishman

[clem6593]

hes a true Man. where he comes from is regardless. hes just a fantastic talented beautiful man.

[MrLewyboy]

@hardrinker1989

hes not english lol

[ShannonSam1]

@MrLewyboy

Um, yes, he is English. At least half English...He has an English mother, an English upbringing until the age of 36, an Irish father with an English upbringing and he now has current dual citizenship in Ireland and England. In this interview, does this man sound at all Irish? LOL>

Mr Daniel Day Lewis is OH so very handsome and a true humble gentleman. I think he hasn't changed a bit at all! Still the great actor he was 10 years ago. I'm a fan of his movies very much and i can't wait for more :)

[65jumpa]

He's always so eloquent and polite. Such an uncommon actor. Every film he's done he's done so well

[TobAndeland]

I love his look and the way he says: "Yes!" at 2:04 :P Daniel is my favorite actor of all time. The way he embraces and goes 100% for the roles he plays, its fantastic. Also that he is very careful of chosing the parts he plays, he's got such integrety. :D

[theenglishcivilwar]

He's sooooo cute !

[kendy888]

He is so cute as he standing there hugging his oscar :D and good looking! :)

[JohnnyCashIsGod]

he's delicious.

[SatiricalTruth]

He is such a deep thinker. There is no question he has incredibly high intellect.

[unchie979]

i love how he gives thought to each question

[mrdreamsisasleep]

I heard Lundgren and Van-Damme are remaking Rain man together. God, the emotions......there won't be a dry eye in the house.

Seriously though....thanks for posting this great movie.

[skitsopaa]

I'VE ABANDONED MY CHILD! I'VE ABANDONED MY BOY! aaarrrgh

[Mertdizzle15]

[jumpforjoy6]

He MADE iRELAND VERY PROUD THAT NIGHT. Brenda Fricker too ! Awesome

[hahahahahahahNO]

Goddamn Beautiful.

[heferfefer]

of course he's an englis-irishman, maybe is for that reason tat he's so god demn good,who knows? he's unbelivable, is for me the best actor in the earth

[rudessdfdf]

he should be in interview with the vampire ii

[ErikaUmeda]

Daniel is the man.

[YeahYeahKoolAid]

I drink it up!

SSSLLLUUURRRPP!

[SandraBeatlesFan1963]

he's gorgeous

[FemSquelch]

I takes a great deal of bravery and composure to wait so long in silence to come up with a good answer. He's one of the few "movie stars" working today. In the sense of being complete and wholly formed on and off screen like the actors of the golden age of Hollywood.

[Khild565]

such a nice guy

[marklindsayfan1]

hunk hunk

[buggyboogles]

Thanks Emma. I first came across your videos on imdb and I was so glad that I caught the 1990 Oscar win b4 youtube deleted it. Like koikoiboi.. a BIG THANK YOU for all the videos and I am so glad you've bcome a fundi at it.

[mensahcarrelle]

I just love the way he speaks.Very soft.

[klickenpod]

I adore this man. Jeeesus.

[Ari721]

He seems like such a great man. A gift to hollywood

[EmmaGennaro]

If I remember correctly, I recorded this press room stuff immediately after the 1990 Oscars from the E! channel, which apparently just parked a camera in the room and let it roll uninterrupted until everyone went home, lol. They don't really do it that way anymore I don't think, they show bits of the press stuff but have much more of an organized aftershow now. So I don't where if anywhere you could find a complete video like this for his new (yay!) Oscar. Anyone?

[Austria1]

I love that he takes time before each thought.

[MrPogle]

I am so delighted to see this. Thank you. I had wanted to post some footage I had of Daniel from this time but the video quality was poor. I'm so grateful to those who are keeping my 22-year love of DDL alive through YouTube memories like this footage. Do you all remember his Oscar speech in 1990 for 1989's "My Left Foot"? He looked like a Romanticist brought 160 years into the future. he was remarkable.

[FrigidArtic]

thanks for this, do you know where I can find the press room video from this year? for the oscar he just won for there will be blood

[inuyashalvr1487]

This was an exceptionally fantastic film, and very proud as an American born Irish-Scot. Congratulations to a brilliant, unselfish, incredibly fantastic actor, who ain't bad luckin', eh Luvs? Gramach! agus Slainte, Daniel!

[NoeliaBonett]

OMG! thank you oh so very much!, I had never seen this.

[anje7]

Thanks for posting it =). Why don´t you add the video with the speech of this ceremony?

[EmmaGennaro]

I already did, and Youtube removed it.:( Sorry.

Glad everyone is enjoying...very cool to hear the *reporters* applauding so enthusiastically. I think some are even shouting 'bravo' as the footage begins.

[anje7]

Thanks anyway =)

Carry on adding great videos...that will be very nice

[utubesucks2003]

can you add the same thing for the There Will Be Blood oscar?

[miller18]

He's so very serious and thoughtful with his answers.

[calraigh]

i love you!where are you getting this stuff!

[koikoiboi]

EmmaGennaro, I've already told you that you rock but I was mistaken, you are in fact a Goddess!!! Thank you!
