Daniel Day-Lewis: There Will be Parenting

Posted by Whit Honea

 

Oscar hopeful Daniel Day-Lewis says that he is a very "hands-on parent."

According to People:

"My life is enriched in every single way by my boys," says the actor. "I'm quite a hands-on parent."

Illustrating the sort of father he is, Day-Lewis says, "I, like my parents before me, am endlessly saying, 'When I was a kid' – and who cares about that? They don't care. It's their experience, that's the important thing."

Still, he admits, "You recognize characteristics of your own parents in yourself that you swore as a kid you'd never be like. And yet you are."

And their mother, Rebecca? "She is the most normal, down-to-earth person you could ever meet," he says. "We agree entirely about how to raise our children, and we enjoy each other's company."

I think it's funny that this guy has a reputation in the tabloids for being so strange. He seems like the normal one.
