A fake Robert de Niro was caught when he tried to use forged ID papers for the star during a routine police roadside vehicle check.
Police in Iasi, Eastern Romania, said: "He was even dressed up like the Hollywood star with a designer suit and sunglasses - but he didn't fool officers.
"We knew that Robert de Niro would not be driving alone around a remote part of the country. We guessed he was an imposter."
A search of the man's home later exposed him as part of a forgery gang that had been helping provide fake Romanian ID's to people from Moldova wanting to get work in western Europe.
If you haven’t seen it, watch ‘Ronin’, one of the best action flicks ever, great car chase scene.
The only problem I have with Ronin is some of the heavy accents in the film. The DVD subtitles feature came in handy!
Ping.
Yes, but Jean Reno is a very good actor, he and DeNiro worked very well together.
Yes, Jean Reno is a great actor, as is DeNiro. To be honest I understood Reno fine - I had the biggest problem understanding the lead actress, believe it or not!
