"Tarantino Takes Aim at Paul Dano: But Daniel Day-Lewis Stands by His Co-Star"
Quentin Tarantino's harsh words about Paul Dano have sparked a heated debate in the film industry. The director, known for his unapologetic opinions, criticized Dano's performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 masterpiece, There Will Be Blood, saying that the actor was "weak sauce" and not worthy of the lead role.
However, Daniel Day-Lewis, who co-starred with Dano in the film, has jumped to his defense. According to an Instagram account claiming to be run by Day-Lewis' representatives, the actor has praised Dano as one of the best and most talented actors of his generation.
The news has sent shockwaves through the industry, with many of Tarantino's peers, including Ben Stiller and Matt Reeves, defending Dano against the director's criticism. Even Dillon Freasier, who played Day-Lewis' adopted son in There Will Be Blood, echoed this sentiment, calling the film "perfect" and crediting its cast for their chemistry.
Meanwhile, Dano has also been receiving praise from fans and industry insiders alike, with his 2018 film Wildlife earning critical acclaim. His upcoming role in Florian Zeller's thriller Bunker has further solidified his reputation as a talented actor and director.
Tarantino's comments have sparked a larger conversation about the challenges of working with actors who are not well-known at the time of their big break. Lillard, one of Tarantino's targets for criticism, has spoken out about how such comments can be hurtful and damaging to an individual's reputation.
In the end, it seems that Tarantino's words have had little impact on Dano's career, with many in the industry rallying around the actor. As Day-Lewis so aptly put it, "Paul Dano is one of the best and most talented actors of his generation."

I'm totally Team Paul Dano!!! Tarantino can't even get a good thing right about someone he doesn't like. Like, seriously, what's wrong with you, QT?! 
Daniel Day-Lewis is literally the ultimate actor and if he says Paul Dano is one of the best, then I trust him completely! 
Plus, have you seen some of Paul's other work? He's got so much talent and range. And can we talk about how low-key he was in There Will Be Blood? The guy brought that character to life and it was perfection! 
It's like, Tarantino just needs to get over himself and give the love to this talented actor. 
Paul Dano's been killing it with his roles, especially in Wildlife 
I'm loving how fans and industry folks are rallying around him now! The whole thing just reminds me that we can't let negativity bring us down - we gotta lift each other up and celebrate the awesomeness of our fellow creatives 
, can't even support a young actor without throwing shade 
. And btw, who's Paul Dano to him? Not that famous yet 
. Day-Lewis backing him up makes all the difference 
, proves Dano's got talent. Should've kept it on the down low like a pro 
i'm not surprised day-lewis has got his back tho, they're like two peas in a pod 
anyway, it's all good, let's just say tarantino's ego is bigger than a 70s rock concert 
. I mean, who makes a snide comment like that publically and expects everyone to just forget about it? And now Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of nowhere and suddenly Paul Dano is "one of the best"?! It's too convenient, if you ask me 
. What's really going on here? Is there some sort of hidden agenda at play? I'm not buying that Tarantino was just having a bad day... there has to be more to it than that 
. And what about Lillard getting all up in arms about hurtful comments? That just feels like someone trying to shift the focus away from the real issue 
.
I'm shocked Quentin Tarantino would diss Paul Dano like that! I mean, Daniel Day-Lewis has spoken up for him and now everyone's defending him... it's all so confusing 
. But at the same time, I can see why Dano might not be as well-known back then... did he even get any awards or nominations for that film? It's all so interesting! 
I mean, Wildlife was a critically-acclaimed film and his new thriller sounds awesome... let's not bash someone who's trying to make a name for themselves. 
. It shows that he's got his co-stars' backs and values their talents. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good underdog story? It's like Dano gets to bask in the glory of having Day-Lewis vouch for him.
. I think Tarantino might've gotten a bit carried away, but at the same time, we should be calling out people who are being unfair or hurtful. It's not cool to trash someone without giving them a chance. But in this case... I don't know, maybe Dano just wasn't that great in There Will Be Blood?
anyway tarantino's got some nerve saying Paul Dano was weak sauce, idk what kinda ego trip this is but whoever said Paul Dano wasn't worthy of the lead role is totally wrong 
Lillard might've spoken out about tarantino's hurtful comments, but i think it's all good now, Paul Dano's career is on track and we get to enjoy more of his talent 
. Paul Dano's been lucky enough to get some amazing roles in big films like There Will Be Blood, but let's be real, he wasn't exactly blown away by the experience. I mean, come on, Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of all time and his rep is basically untouchable 
. Dano might not be on his level yet, but he still has time to prove himself. And honestly, if the guy can't handle a little bit of constructive criticism from someone as iconic as Tarantino, then maybe he's not as talented as everyone makes him out to be 
. Let's see what Dano does next and if his skills actually live up to the hype 
. But Daniel Day-Lewis coming to Dano's defense is like, totally iconic! 
. I'm loving the fact that everyone else is standing up for Dano, though - it's about time someone called out Tarantino's toxic behavior 
. And can we talk about how impressive Paul Dano's career has been despite what Tarantino said? He's a talented actor and director in his own right 
.
