​It's 2018 and Daniel Day-Lewis Is Still Out Here Using a Goddamn Flip Phone

Daniel Day-Lewis may be retired from acting, but the Phantom Thread star certainly isn't spending his free time catching up on the latest tech devices. In fact, he was spotted on the New York subway yesterday (April 5) using a flip phone.

The Internet is having a field day with the endearing discovery. Some Twitter users think it's the perfectly suited phone for his privacy-protecting persona, while others are hoping he's just in the midst of method prep for a movie role circa the mid-2000s.
