DeNiro wanting people to think he's a big tough guy
OMG..look at those shoes. Are the lifts part of the character?
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.
Both of the actors are short. No wonder he needs those shoes. It’s not easy to impersonate a tough guy when he is so vertically challenged. His foul mouth is part of his acting.
Every time I see that photo of him in his 3 inch high platform shoes, I want to bust out laughing. What a loser. If I were his wife, I’d be embarrassed to be seen with him. I think he has a lot of talent as an actor, but there are precious few of his movies I will watch, because he’s such a jerk.
I’ll cut the moron a break on the shoe lifts in this picture. He’s on set portraying the much, much taller Frank Sheeran. Now if it were just vanity thing...
