He wasn’t in Back to the Future, right?

Roughly one year after retiring from acting, Daniel Day-Lewis seems to have retired from using cellular technology that you don’t have to physically open – with your hands. What a mission.

According to TIME, the three-time Oscar winner was spotted with the ancient device by journalist Karen Han on Thursday.

She felt compelled to tweet:

daniel day-lewis is on my train and casually just looking at his flip phone

As un-trusting as society has shaped us to be, people asked for evidence, which Han quickly provided:

What followed was to be expected, as fans of the Phantom Thread star quickly got involved on the social platform by suggesting possible reenactments from one of his films:

Can you whisper “kiss me my girl before I’m sick” within earshot?

But most shocking to all was the fact that Day-Lewis is still using a flip phone in 2018 – the year of broken touchscreens and taking things too personally.

They chirped and they chirped:

Daniel Day-Lewis built that flip phone from scratch after a three-year Samsung internship https://t.co/tTOM2aBrF3

I remember when I got my first flip phone back in 2005. The way it hugged my cheek was almost romantic, and definitely better than a newspaper.

Maybe he’s part of that select few that can’t decide between Samsung and iPhone? Come now, we all know it’s the latter.
