Absolutely wonderful actor, always a totally different character. When I was young I didn't even realise he was in my favourite movie Room with a View because of his performance - his acting is brilliant. Always different, never the same character in his movies.

[@nightowl8004]

He is just so fascinating to watch. I would have fallen for him instantly if he was at my public school idiot or not

[@justinaccount9920]

are you g a y

[@jayenneB]

Oh DDL, sounds deliciously posh, and looks aristocratically handsome. And so young.

[@dead_ones]

Absolute facts!

[@notshetocastarz]

Che bellezza abbagliante questo giovane di soli 26 anni! E che grazia, che eleganza, che inglese perfetto! Il grande genio che sarebbe diventato si vede già. Splendido!

[@notshetocastarz]

Ma quanto era bello?? Magnifico, elegante, eloquente, gentile, Rebels and gent, come sempre, e la voce? Fantastica! Come non amare questo giovane e l’uomo magnifico che sarebbe diventato?! Lo amo!!❤❤❤❤

[@LastlyMore]

Wow he spoke very eloquently even back than at that young age.

[@Qwerty-db1js]

Considering his father was a Poet Laureate...

[@K-a-n-d-i-s]

Perfect bone structure

[@SarahSmith-nr2wj]

He just has such a great nose

[@KnowThyself619]

As an asian man with a flat and wide nose, I painfully agree.

Dan day lewis was so believable in christy Brown when I saw him running about in last of the mo's I thought it was a miracle

Mamma mia che bellezza e che eleganza il giovane Daniel!!! Come disse a suo tempo Steven Frears, che lo ha diretto, ABBAGLIANTE!!!

[@arantzasansegundogarcia4792]

El mejor actor del mundo,el único que ha conseguido tres Óscar a mejor actor principal,me encanta que pena que se haya retirado

[@clairemercier3969]

Oh My Goodness, first time I see him so young. I am awestruck (again!!!)

[@NorthWalesKid]

His performance in my left foot is the third greatest acting performance of all time

[@Cyno7]

And the first two?

@@Cyno7 I’m assuming Marlon Brando is one of them

sadly you don't get to rank thee acting performances

[@morty4815162342]

[@Qwerty-db1js]

Definitely one of greatest...

Math is crazy.

😮🫢😊 Sweet
We don’t realise how beautiful our cousins are until decades later. This guy sure resembles a Smith

[@notshetocastarz]

Ma chi ha scritto a mio nome "che sto guardando questa schifezza, ecc."? Questo video ci mostra Daniel nella sua fantastica giovinezza!!!❤

How wonderful to hear someone speaking English correctly. Quite a contrast to today, when no one from the south of England seems able or willling to pronounce the letter T.

[@rory4605]

Yes, but if someone from the 1870s heard you speak, they'd say the same sort of thing. Language changes, accents change.

[@KnowThyself619]

The skeletal structure difference between these two men is astronomical.

[@fredrikolsson5783]

Best comment I’ve read in a long time

[@anthonymaughan6103]

He doesn't sound like i thought he would - incredible actor though ??

[@regplasma7906]

Why is it all Julian's have exactly the same personality ?

[@jomurphy1654]

So true!!!

Very poor sound level.

Dry em

[@capbaby75]

I've honestly never heard him speak....not to sound silly but I didn't know he was English

[@stupor_mundi]

Isn't he Irish? I had always thought he was but now hearing his accent I don't know.

[@Qwerty-db1js]

@@stupor_mundi He's pretty much Anglo-Irish (with bit of Jewish blood).

[@urbanapache2]

Well, he was born in England. Does that help?@@stupor_mundi

[@cynthianolder3557]

Pretty man, who looks like he has eye makeup on

[@sweetstephylu]

🎭All Actors in general will wear when on camera at work / the Show employs H/MU (Hair and makeup) same as Lighting and Cameraman_ he is certainly gorgeous

[@annalisavajda252]

Well studio and florescent lights make people look more washed out than they are so perhaps his nose as been powdered to prevent shine and some eye makeup applied but I think he may just be naturally dark haired with thick lashes so maybe you are wrong to assume they put makeup on him he's just nice looking in flattering lighting.

[@danielnewton5867]

Another upperclass posh English actor.

[@DBIVUK]

His father was half-Irish (but Protestant Southern Irish not Catholic), his mother was Ashkenazi Jewish (from Latvian and Polish families). People often get deceived about how encompassing and enveloping English identity is.

[@danielnewton5867]
