Ralph wasn't a big name at that point. A year later he'd break out with Schindler's List.

He was the lead in The English Patient (my beloved lol), which cleaned up at the Oscars in 1997

The casting process with Julia as lead was in ‘92.

The actual movie didn’t come out till ‘98.

The unofficial response back in 2001 was "Friends said Miss Roberts and Day Lewis had in fact had only a platonic relationship though they were known to have flirted with one another." But yeah, they probably did hook up and she didn't accept he only wanted a discreet side chick behind Isabelle Adjani's back.

Funnily DDL's the one I can't imagine having any humor at all cos of his commitment to method acting - has he even ever done comedy?
