Paul Thomas Anderson on Working with Daniel Day Lewis

I bet this is Daniel Day-Lewis acting as Paul Thomas Anderson, right here.

[PatrickHogan]

DDL needs to make a film after 2020 so he can win best actor in four different decades.

[ongogablogian]

He's the only person to win best director at Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. Can't believe he directed Boogie Nights at 26. What a legend.

[emmavictoria]

Daniel Day Lewis joking in character sounds so scary

[ihms]

They're talking about DDL like he's bigfoot

[TheFifaBaouss]

Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood is the best performance ever in my opinion, that film is an absolute masterpiece. So happy to see the legend PTA himself on Kimmel!

[Mmxxaamm]

First time I see Jimmy so nervous about an interview, you can tell he really admires Paul, NICE!

[aleca]

feels like a miracle that he did a talk show lol

[riverpinkston]

This guy is criminally underrated and unknown by most people

[mikeprr]

2:10 “for the world’s greatest actor, he has the worst taste in television.”
“What does he watch?”

What PTA should’ve said: “you.”

[julieta]

PTA and Daniel Day Lewis are the best two things that ever happened to the world

[MichaelJordan-uoqm]

The term "genius" gets thrown around too much, but both P.T Anderson and Daniel Day Lewis are legitimate geniuses in the film industry.

[juxe]

This is the first interview I’ve seen of him and he seems so humble and down to earth considering he has such powerhouse movies. Clearly doesn’t let his ego get the better of him unlike certain directors

[movieace]

Love when directors comes to talk show, more of that please :)

[y-unespynchonesky]

PTA needs to do more interviews. Glad to see this one

[passionskayandmiguel]

The fact that Daniel Day-Lewis loves project runway makes me love him even more

[nateds]

Paul is way more down to earth than you would think he would be from his films.

[eduardoreyesperera]

Paul Thomas Anderson is beyond other filmmakers. Seriously he Is a genius.

[siddheshzadey]

You know you are a legend when people talk about you in a way as if you were dead but you are still alive because it's tough to respect a living person that much. That's the level where DDL is at.

[the_dead_poet]

*_Daniel day Lewis and Tommy Wiseau should do a movie together_*
