Robert DeNiro is very cranky

December 27th, 2006 by Hennessy

972 words from Robert DeNiro.

Many have tried, most of them fail. Getting DeNiro to talk can be frustrating, demoralizing, and not always worth the end result.

“Looking back—with the slightly battered perspective I would gain over three weeks spent trying to talk to Robert De Niro—perhaps I should have known better. Since he emerged in the early 1970s as one of the most remarkable, intense, and dazzling actors ever seen on-screen, De Niro has rarely agreed to be interviewed. When he has consented, that was generally when the trouble started. Articles about him typically deteriorated into accounts of the interview’s collapse, and of the interviewer’s resulting anger, frustration, acquiescence, or bafflement.”

    Ummm…Bobby would be upset that you did not put a half space between the De and the Niro…is that so much to ask for one of the 20th century’s great artists?
