After a three-year absence from acting on screen, Day-Lewis returned to film by reuniting with [[Martin Scorsese]] for ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' (2002). He took on the role of villainous gang leader [[William Poole|William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting]], starring opposite [[Leonardo DiCaprio]], who played Bill's young protégé as well as [[Cameron Diaz]], [[Jim Broadbent]], [[John C. Reilly]], [[Brendan Gleeson]], and [[Liam Neeson]]. To help him get into character, he hired circus performers to teach him to throw knives.<ref name="Telegraph 2008"/> While filming, he was never out of character between takes (including keeping his character's [[New York accent]]).<ref name="OnlineBio"/> At one point during filming, having been diagnosed with [[pneumonia]], he refused to wear a warmer coat, or to take treatment, because it was not in keeping with the period; he was eventually persuaded to seek medical treatment.<ref name="Telegraph 2008">{{cite news |title=Daniel Day-Lewis aims for perfection |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1579473/Daniel-Day-Lewis-aims-for-perfection.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1579473/Daniel-Day-Lewis-aims-for-perfection.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |date=22 February 2008 |access-date=1 January 2010}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The film divided critics while Day-Lewis received plaudits for his portrayal of Bill the Butcher.

In the early 2000s, Day-Lewis's wife, director [[Rebecca Miller]], offered him the lead role in her film ''[[The Ballad of Jack and Rose]]'', in which he played a dying man with regrets over how his life had evolved, and over how he had brought up his teenage daughter.
