Robert De Niro has described Donald Trump as a 'weird twisted president who thinks he's a gangster'.
But the veteran Hollywood star said that the US president does not have the same 'honor' that is often portrayed by characters in gangster films.
De Niro, who is known for starring in a number of mafia and mobster-themed films over the course of his decades-long Hollywood career – talked about the genre's ongoing appeal.
The star of The Godfather Part II and Goodfellas, who is a vocal critic of Trump, appeared on the BBC's The Graham Norton Show.
He said: 'Today, we have a weird twisted president who thinks he's a gangster, who's not even a very good gangster.
'Gangsters have honor, you shake a hand and they have your word and you have theirs and that's it. But with this guy, it's not the case.'
The actor has joined forces director Martin Scorsese, his long-time collaborator, for new gangster film The Irishman, which also stars Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel, actors he has worked with on numerous occasions.
De Niro went on to describe how gangster films continue to captivate the public's imagination.

Little Bobby, Why don’t you run for President if you have all the answers?
Sounds a bit obsessed.
He’s the mouthpiece for the mob. Look at it from that angle . . .
The lifetime compromised pedophile actor heard from again— confusing his name with his “roles”. Mouth engaged brain disengaged, what little is there.
A sad old pervert who thinks he’s “boss” DeNiro. Pacino any day pal.
HAs this perp stopped using private jets?
OMG..look at those shoes. Are the lifts part of the character?
He obviously knows nothing about real gangsters.
From: Mr. Enraged and Twisted. Shut up, De Nero.
DM talking about Deniros shoe lifts
Robert DeNiro...another actor who uses Charmin to clean his ears, since he has shit for brains.
THERE’S the pic I’ve been looking for. Hey, Bobby, you and your Frankenstein shoes need to come and visit Backwater, USA, and shoot off your New Yawk garlic knot breath, so you can get the beatdown you’ve needed since age 8 and make you a real man. You know, like a cabbie, tax assessor, deli manager, or coal miner. That sort of real-life shit that doesn’t exist outside of Tribeca, you sawed-off little second-hand, Alpine forest elf.
He plays gangsters but is really just a 1 dimensional friggin actor. Who like lawyers, lie for a living.
He is just an Old Actor trying to be insightful. He is just looking for publicity but is looking like a FOOL.
This prick gives gangsters a bad name.
Boy, people that live in make believe world and play pretend their whole lives, sure are smart.
Someone here said Randy Quaid should use the line he actually moved to Canada when competing against Schiff
Question for the crew: I know that Booby De-Nada is constantly ankle-biting after Trump. Has Trump ever bothered to respond?
“The cardboard gangster.”
You nailed that like a split hog.
