Daniel Day Lewis has aphasia

Finally, some gossip on Datalounge!

Eddie Redmayne will win his second Oscar for playing Daniel.

Eddie in Lincoln drag!

Explains retirement. Sad. Coke once upon a time? Bruce, Wendy, now Daniel - is that our missing link?

But does Redmayne have any right to play either Lincoln or Day Lewis, considering he can't really identify as them, R2?

67. Jesus.

That's fucking awful. That's what I'm thinking, r4. But I didn't think he was a big partier, was he?

I'm sure it will be his wife's former assistant soon, if this is true.

He looks completely out of it at OP. And she has the face of caretaker.

Aphasia doesn't come from drug abuse.

This is major "BREAKING NEWS" if true.

BEARKING, TR11.

R11...

There is no excuse for wearing yellow pants.

And what is going on with those zippers mid-thigh?

That’s very sad if true. I know dementia doesn’t discriminate, but I always am surprised when it happens to people I thought were intelligent and remained active.

I don't think this rumour is true, as I genuinely think assistant like keeping their jobs, if there really is one.

Nevertheless he looks like his kids took him to Moncler for a shop so he could be a "cool dad", but no one over the age of 15 should be wearing cargo pants unless they're for work.

I call BULLSHIT! He does not have Aphasia but Daniel is clearly on the Spectrum. The yellow pants are a definite sign of Autism. Lincoln wore yellow pants. Lincoln was Autistic. Reason why Lewis was able to play the role so well. Like to like people ! DUH!

Thank you for the scoop, OP. It's nice to see that DL still has some of that gossip that made it world-famous. The "Marcia Cross munches carpet so she married her investor" scoop was getting really, really old.

Incidentally, I was not impressed by DDL's Lincoln performance.

Talk about a waste of a third Oscar.

Who?

He also has my milkshake...and he drinks it.

I read this on DL two years ago.

At the very least DDL has hair frenzy and clothing cognitive dissonance (CCD).

He looks like Larry David in that pic.

It's for a role !

We just believe OP now?

Let me tell you how stupid some of you are.

It took me ONE SECOND to see that the majority of this thread is the OP replying to himself.

And yet, some of you just accepted it.

What is wrong with you? Are you all autistic or something?

I just ignore stupid behavior, but thanks for the legwork.

Sounds like a real case of My Left Foot in mouth!

Very sad, if true.

R32, do keep up. It’s not.

R28, the OP has aphasia.

See look how stupid r31 is. Couldn’t even bother to read a short thread.

This is not true. But I wish Donald Trump had it so why wouldn't have to hear his demented bullshit every day.

Aphasia is a symptom and not a disease. In the case of Willis it is due to dementia although I don’t know the type of dementia. Bulbar palsy (which is not dementia) can cause aphasia.

I’m dumbfounded!

He was quite articulate presenting Scorsese with an honorary award last January.

[quote] He does not have Aphasia but Daniel is clearly on the Spectrum.

I know you posted this sarcastically but Daniel Day Lewis is very obviously on the Spectrum.

An OP’s further participation in a thread doesn’t mean anything.

This happens when you use too much cocaine during your youth. Dataloungers beware.

The reason we don't get good gossip the way we used to is because everyone wants money. Instead of sharing gossip with DL they call TMZ or some other outlet to get paid.

As for DDL having Aphasia, I don't think this is true. I was reading about him a few years ago, and he c an be eccentric, and do stuff like work as a shoemaker for a while, or WTF ever, and he seems to enjoy a very simple private life, ergo no assistants. Now ifhe has some project cooking, he may have an assistant for the duration, but not permanently.

That pic in OP post is old.

Yellow pants coz he's from Europe, they wear red pants, green pants, yellow pants, of all color. Euro trash!

This has been reported here before. It's why he stopped working.

Mum’s the word.

[quote]This happens when you use too much cocaine during your youth. Dataloungers beware.

We are all so far removed from "youth," there's no point in warning us now.

Is she the one that got beat up by Sharquisha?

Talented actor.

It's Starkeesha

Sorry to hear about his diagnosis, but probably not as sorry as he is.

Jeez. Far too young.

My father had aphasia for several years after brain surgery, and that motherfucker kept all his marbles until he died twenty years later. Aphasia means you lose the ability to process language, and there are different types and levels. Dad couldn't speak or write at all, but he could understand the spoken and written word. He could spell out words with his fingertip, and his primary form of communication was tracing letters on his palm. He also had a pocket sized dot matrix printer with a keyboard that he used to tap out messages and print on little ticker tapes. He had a little laminated card to hand to clerks and waiters that explained his condition and to assure them he wasn't retarded.

His speech returned eight to ten years after his surgery. Some of my siblings insist to this day that he faked it for some or most of that time just to be a pain in the ass.

....

Looks like he doesn't know where he is.

DDL for President!

He already was.

How long can he live like this? Years and years?

Sheesh. He looks fine, & physically/neurologically well enough to use crutches properly.

If he has dementia, with an onset of Aspasia, then that probably between him, his physicians & his family.

I highly doubt an assistant who is a professional would leak this.

Biden is like Lincoln after the head wound.

[quote] physically/neurologically well enough to use crutches properly.

Huh, R57?

I don't mean to sound flip when I say this because aphasia can signal a number of neurological disorders, but maybe he's pretending to have aphasia so he doesn't have to speak with most people and can just shut them out somewhat politely and be left alone with his circle. He's been eccentric enough in the past that maybe...

Murdoch NY Post links give clickdollars and SEO to people who hate gays.

Well, shut my mouth and call me dumb!

[quote] If he has dementia, with an onset of Aspasia,

He looks like he is auditioning for the part of Larry David's kooky brother

R4 Wendy who?

^ What R65 said.

There is nothing online about Daniel Day Lewis having aphasia.

^ It's breaking news Rose.

Wendy Malick? Wendy Hiller? Wendy Craig?

Wendy Darling? I hope it's not her!

I Googled "Wendy aphasia" and it's apparently Wendy Williams.

I never pay any attention to her so I didn't know.

R71 Thank God it's not Wendy Malick.

I was worried about her.

What's he look like today? That photo of OP's is over a year old (May 2023) and was accompanied by video of him walking down the sidewalk alone at a fairly brisk pace. Then, he reportedly met up with his wife, and they went out to lunch. Since then, GQ showed him out with Bradley Cooper in October 2023.

More importantly, he is no longer hot.

Remember DDL at the '90 Oscars? Yum.

Never was hot.

I always get him confused with Val Kilmer.

This didn't age well.

This is a troll thread essentially.

Liar.

Just to keep this shit accurate, "aphasia" is a symptom, not a cause.

Aphasia, meaning disrupted language skills affecting the flow of speaking and communicating in both oral and written forms, can arise from stroke, injury, brain tumor, dementia-related conditions and other problems.

Either way he never seemed heterosexual to me.

Maybe he just going through aphase.

News today says he’s returning to acting.

He's filming right now

Daniel Day Lewis we love you! Speak up!

I was inclined to believe this rumor because he retired for seemingly no reason back in 2017.

However, he just announced he's doing another film with his son as director. If he retired because he was concerned about aphasia, he certainly wouldn't be trying a comeback seven years later.

Da-Da-Da-Damiel Dew Lupus has aphids?
