Friends don’t let friends invite Robert De Niro to their movie premieres.
Director Francis Ford Coppola learned that lesson the hard way this week. The Hollywood icon debuted “Megalopolis,” his audacious new film starring Adam Driver and Jon Voight, before select IMAX audiences nationwide Monday.
Coppola introduced the film personally via a livestream Q&A prior to the screening featuring longtime pals De Niro and director Spike Lee. Neither is involved with the project, but both share long, personal ties with the director.
The event was meant to honor both Coppola and his latest film, but De Niro and Lee turned the event into a Trump roast.
They took turns torching the GOP favorite and demanding audiences vote against him come Nov. 5. If you’ve heard De Niro speak over the past seven-plus years, you know exactly what he said.
Different day. Same script. Yawn.
He’s done this shtick before. Team Apple edited the anti-Trump comments from his 2023 speech on behalf of the studio’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” event. Silly Apple. The company wanted the focus to remain on the movie, not the costar’s political obsession.
The actor raged against Trump anyway (and Apple for telling him what NOT to say).
At this point, De Niro needs to be given the Hannibal Lecter treatment at public events. Tied to a gurney. Face covered in a protective mask so he can’t spout his Trump rhetoric. Or, if you have a movie to promote, keep De Niro in front of the camera where he belongs.
High School Bobbie is raging against his ever fading relevancy.
Or maybe he’s just full of it.
Little Bobby is extremely envious of president Trump. He knows he doesn’t come close to measuring up to Trump in any category. Trump is Taller, Richer, more famous, better family and more beautiful wife. Bobby gets enraged when he thinks about all the ways he falls short compared to president Trump. Poor little Bobby will be forgotten but Trump will be remembered throughout history.
He always sounded punchdrunk
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE MENTALLY ILL!!
I'm hoping for both!
Bobby never finished high school.
I don’t take any advise from high school dropouts the likes of De Niro and TayTay Swift.

“I can’t think of the last really good film he was in, maybe Ronin and Heat. I once saw 15 minutes of Dirty Grandpa and had to turn it off it was so disgusting.”
Not to defend the puke that is the person Robert DeNiro, but the “actor” Robert DeNiro is/was one of/if not the BEST male actor of all times!
Ronin, Heat, 15 Minutes, Cape Fear, Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter, Stanley and Iris, Casino, Cop Land.
Enough for you?
I left out the comedies as I HATE comedies, so I never watch them, even if DeNiro is in them.
Lots of other male actors just as good or better than DeNiro. I would rank Jack Nicholson above him.
