Steven Spielberg is directing a upcoming biopic on Abraham Lincoln, and if you ask me, he chose the perfect actor to play the role.

Daniel Day Lewis was spotted yesterday in Richmond, VA, eating lunch at a restaurant in full Lincoln makeup. The cast and crew are filming there, and Twitter user @UVAMichael caught this picture and posted it.

It’s amazing how much DDL looks like the former president!

The film, which will also star Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robert Todd Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens and John Hawkes as Robert Latham, amongst other stars.

I will watch absolutely anything DDL does, and combine that with Steven Spielberg as the director? Oh man!

Daniel Day-Lewis receives an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from the University of Bristol.

Congrats!
