He's one of the most successful actors in Hollywood history.
But Daniel Day-Lewis has kept a very low profile since his retirement in 2017 - breaking cover on Thursday for the first time in four years.
The reclusive Oscar-winner, 66, was pictured in New York City sporting a black baseball cap and striking blue tracksuit as he stepped out in the afternoon sunshine to take a call on a flip phone.
He completed the look with a white t-shirt, a pair of tinted shades and black sneakers.

Day-Lewis, who scooped Oscars for My Left Foot and The Age of Innocence, was also seen on Friday as he went on a lunch date with his wife, Rebecca Miller.
The actor, who is the only person ever to scoop three Academy Awards for Best Actor, and his wife stepped out for lunch in the West Village neighborhood.

Day-Lewis was last spotted in public in 2019, when he was pictured on the New York City subway using a similar flip phone.
He was similarly low-key in those pictures - opting for a black beanie hat, thick-rimmed glasses and a black jacket.
Day-Lewis said he no longer wanted to make movies after he starred in the critically acclaimed Phantom Thread.
He was Oscar nominated for his work but did not win. Instead Gary Oldman took home the gold for The Darkest Hour.
He married Miller, an American filmmaker and novelist, in 1996 and they have two children together.

Day-Lewis forged a reputation as one of the greatest actors of his generation in a career than spanned fewer than 20 movies but earned him a string of top awards.
Following his decision to retire in 2017, he said he was compelled to quit acting despite his 'great sadness'.
'The impulse to quit took root in me, and that became a compulsion. It was something I had to do,' he told W magazine.
He went on: 'Do I feel better? Not yet. I have great sadness. And that’s the right way to feel.'
'When I began, it was a question of salvation. Now, I want to explore the world in a different way.'
