Robert De Niro Sr. – the Hollywood favourite’s late father- has been honoured recently in a documentary film made by Robert Jnr.
Jnr. says the documentary was not meant as an income generating venture or to be widely viewed, but he felt he just had to do it to honour his father.
In the documentary, it’s revealed that De Niro’s father felt somewhat conflicted about his homosexuality.
“Yeah, he probably was, being from that generation, especially from a small town upstate,” the 70-year-old actor says. “I was not aware, much, of it. I wish we had spoken about it much more. My mother didn’t want to talk about things in general, and you’re not interested when you’re a certain age. Again, for my kids, I want them to stop and take a moment and realize that you sometimes have to do things now instead of later, because later may be 20 years from now—and that’s too late.”
So true. Watch the teaser above to get a better idea. You should definitely look out for this one, it looks like a beautiful tribute.
