You’re co-writing-directing a fake reality show called Life’s Too Short with Stephen Merchant right now. Are you in it?
Yeah, Stephen and I play ourselves. It’s about Warwick Davis — that is his real name, and he is really a dwarf, of course. If he wasn’t a dwarf, the makeup and prosthetics would be most inventive: It’s actually Daniel Day-Lewis playing a dwarf. He’s amazing. It’s his greatest role ever, and he had his legs shaved off especially for the part of Warwick Davis. It’s Oscar-worthy. No, Warwick plays a twisted version of himself, and the conceit is that his career is on the slide. He was in all these films, but now he’s got a bit of a tax bill, so he’s letting this camera crew follow him, sort of rather like The Osbournes.

Of course, the pivotal figure in this regard – the linchpin of the movie, and that of the point I’m trying to make in this chapter – is the character of Nathaniel, more specifically the Nathaniel of Daniel Day-Lewis. This is much more than a matter of which lines of the script he utters. To put it simply, the Day-Lewis incarnation of Cooper’s creation is a magnificent creation in its own right.

For his performance as Christy Brown in My Left Foot, Day-Lewis refused to leave his wheelchair and had to be spoon-fed by the crew. For The Last of the Mohicans, he lived off the land for six months. He slept in an abandoned jail and ate only prison food for In The Name of the Father. For The Crucible, he "lived in the film set's replica village without electricity or running water" and built his character's house using 17th-century tools.
