OSCAR winner Daniel Day-Lewis has launched a bid for the US presidency in the character of Abraham Lincoln.
The three-times best actor winner announced his political ambitions during an acceptance speech delivered in the character of the former president.
He began: “That bullet wound was actually just a graze, then they froze me for a number of years. How’s it going with the slavery thing?”
The actor’s spokesman said: “Daniel’s bored of collecting Oscars, to him it’s as routine as going to buy milk from the shop. So he’s staying in character until he gets elected to run the world.
“Everything Daniel/Abraham does is unbelievably intense and immersive. Even when he’s just eating some crisps, every crunch is pregnant with anticipation.
“Basically he’s a bit weird.”
