Daniel Day-Lewis says Brian Cox has dragged him into the debate over Method acting. “I worked with Brian Cox once and got somehow drawn into this handbags-at-dawn conflict inadvertently. Brian is a very fine actor who’s done extraordinary work. As a result, he’s been given a soapbox… which he shows no sign of climbing down from. Any time he wants to talk about it, I’m easy to find... I just don’t like [Method acting] being misrepresented to the extent it has been. I can’t think of a single commentator who’s gobbed off about the Method that has any understanding of how it works and the intention behind it," Day-Lewis told U.K.’s Big Issue.

I choose to stay and splash around, rather than jump in and out or play practical jokes with whoopee cushions between takes or whatever people think is how you should behave as an actor.” Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news/d…
