Daniel Day-Lewis surprised Hollywood this week by announcing his retirement from acting.
Although he still has one film due to be released later this year - Phantom Thread, based on the fashion world of 1950s London - after he finishes its promotion he "will no longer be working as an actor".
Whether he can be tempted back out of retirement remains to be seen, but here are nine other stars who have quit the profession.
Cameron Diaz
You might not have realised, but Cameron Diaz hasn't been in a film since 2014's Annie, nor does she have any films in the pipeline.
She recently explained why she stepped out of the spotlight at an event run by her best mate, Gwyneth Paltrow.
"I just went, 'I can't really say who I am to myself.' Which is a hard thing to face up to. I felt the need to make myself whole," she said at a Goop Wellness Summit.
In the years since, she has married Good Charlotte singer Benji Madden and published two books - The Body Book, a health and fitness manual, and The Longevity Book, about the art and science of growing older.
Sir Sean Connery
Once voted the sexiest man of the 20th Century, James Bond star Sir Sean Connery quit acting after filming The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in 2003.
He didn't officially confirm his retirement until he received the American Film Institute's lifetime achievement award in 2006.
Although according to his friend Sir Michael Caine, it was the movie business that retired the Bond star "because he didn't want to play small parts about old men and they weren't offering him any young parts in romantic leads".
Sir Sean has since been enjoying retirement, spending his days playing golf and has been spotted at the odd tennis tournament.
Rick MoranisCanadian actor Rick Moranis rose up Hollywood's ranks after appearing in hit films such as Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, Little Shop of Horrors and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
However he began scaling back his acting work after his wife died of cancer in 1991 and retired from on-screen work completely in 1997 to concentrate on raising his children.
"I'm a single parent, and I just found that it was too difficult to manage raising my kids and doing the travelling involved in making movies," he told USA Today in 2005.
"So I took a little bit of a break. And the little bit of a break turned into a longer break, and then I found that I really didn't miss it."
