Hollywood star (and now father of seven) Robert De Niro is back to slamming Donald Trump in public, calling support for the former president “insane” during a press conference Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival.
De Niro also compared Trump to the murderous villain in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. In the new movie, which had its world premiere this weekend at Cannes, De Niro plays William Hale, a cattle baron who was convicted in 1929 of murdering a member of the Osage nation over oil rights.
The actor told reporters that evil still exists in the world, and former president Trump is a manifestation of it.
“We see it today, of course. We all know who I’m going to talk about but I won’t say the name — because that guy is stupid. Imagine if you’re smart. Even Hale was smart in many ways. It’s something that is systemic, and that’s the scary part about it.”

Later, he reportedly added: “Look, with Trump, there are people who still think he can do a good job. Imagine how insane that is.”
Killers of the Flower Moon, which was co-financed by Paramount and Apple, is set to open in cinemas in October before a streaming debut on Apple TV+ whose date has yet to be announced.
The movie, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Lilly Gladstone, is based on the non-fiction bestseller by David Grann that recounts the murders of Osage Indians in Oklahoma during the

It took you this long to figure that ALL leftists are projectionists? Welcome aboard!
Who is Robert De Niro, or whatever? Is he supposed to have been famous?
I don’t think so. He plays the same character in every movie he is in.
Washed up actor as well..
The shrimp wants some more attention.....................
DeNiro is the perfect example of ‘Little Man Syndrome’.................
Says the man so insecure of himself he wears lifts.
So did John Wayne - except at the end of his career. But people loved him in the movies. Most actors do the same, with the exception of a very few. The difference is that Wayne was, despite his many personal flaws (which we all have), a lover of his nation and its people - the very opposite of DeNiro. He also chose the roles he played carefully, wanting to portray “good guys.” DeNiro not only has the knack to play “bad guys” - though not always, e.g., A Bronx Tale - he chooses such roles. Why? Perhaps he, like the late Lowell Weicker (R), Connecticut, relishes being “the turd in the punchbowl.”
I know the photo you are referring to but in fairness, he was on a movie set and needed them to establish the proper height for the character he was playing. This is fairly common in the movie business and so I would never ridicule anybody for that, any more than an actor having to wear ridiculous looking clothing on the set in order to play a character.
That said, DeNiro is a horse's ass. In real life.
DeNiro’s degenerated into a hateful, raging loon. Being a Commie will do that to ya.
You talkin to me Bobby?
On a serious note, many excellent actors/actresses seem to trend toward schizophrenia as they get older. It must be due to working to present yourself as someone that you are not one too many times.
Well, I'll be offering thoughts. Not necessarily good thoughts. But thoughts, nonetheless.
Alan Ladd stood on a box in movies to film love scenes.
Why should anyone care what he thinks?
1) Why did De Niro have $30 million of his ‘investments’ confiscated by the US Treasury in 2017?
2) Why was he a frequent flyer to Jerry Epstein’s Lolita island?
3) Why did his wife of 20 years divorce him in 2018?
Hint, the answer has something to do with underage black girls from west Africa. De Niro is notorious for diving into the female African jungle. He is lucky that he wasn’t thrown in prison for rape and pedophilia.
Why does anyone listen to an “insane” actor???
High school Bobby De Niro has a serious case of Lookatme disease because his phone doesn’t seem to be working.
Commie?
De Niro’s a New Yorker, not American
