He didnt. He just only takes roles that intrest him.

DDL is such a faggot irl.

>>67510685
he didn't, he is taking a 5 year sabbatical

>>67510734
did he drank you milkshake, cuck?

since the early 1990s he's only been taking roles that have interested him
after Lincoln he figured he probably wouldn't outperform himself in any other role

To produce the next Smiths album

>>67510845
Lincoln is one of his worst roles though

My Left Foot > Gangs of New York > There Will Be Blood > Lincoln

>>67510453
At the rate that he takes roles, he'll probably do one last epic before he retires

>>67510453
Look at the top of his head.

>>67510453
He didn't, its just his method acting is probably so demanding to his psyche that he simply needs long breaks from it. Or maybe he just doesn't care much after literally achieving everything and being generally viewed as the best actor of his generation.

>>67510734
Elaborate

He's waiting for the right role. He said after Lincoln that he wanted to take a break before going back cause he believed that he wouldn't be able to top his performance in Lincoln so he wanted time to pass so he could resume

>>67510937
In the Name of the Father was his best movie.

>>67510937
Last of the Mohicans

one more academy award

>>67511645
Second best; The Unbearable Lightness of Being exists.

This is true, but Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood really got him interested in film again. He was attached to a bunch of projects until he had such a bad experience with "Nine" that he backed out of the limelight again. It took a decade of begging from Stephen Spielberg just to get Lincoln out of him.

So we can thank Rob Marshall for that.
