Without any doubt the most stupid thing I have seen a famous personality do, ever.

There is a fairly large percentage of the voting public who will be strongly guided by their perception of celebrity opinion. It's like they are vying for the celebrities' approval. Does all the vulgarity and crude sexual references turn some of them off?
 
Nothing in 20 years... Think the movie parenthood.
Very good at playing italian style mobsters.

Seriously overrated compared to actors with range. Nothing compared to Olivier or Day-Lewis, Oldman, Bale, Brando, Hopkins, Bogart even Norton or Spacey, and Freeman.

A lefty can keep his career alive hollywood by using his or her celebrity to represent the interests of the cronies. We have seen the pattern over and over.

Obviously actor ratings are opinion. Not claiming yours is worse than mind.

I just thought I would remind people why lefties seem to go off the rails towards the end of their careers.

Hilarious how out of touch these guys are. Do yourself a favor and read the comments - on Variety.

Robert De Niro had a few choice words for President Donald Trump while the legendary actor was on stage at Sunday’s Tony Awards to introduce Bruce Springsteen’s musical performance.

“I’m going to say one thing, F— Trump,” De Niro said while pumping his fists in the air. “It’s no longer down with Trump. It’s f— Trump.”

The political sentiment earned De Niro a standing ovation from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall, while CBS scrambled to bleep the audio on the live telecast. After the audience settled, De Niro got back to talking about Springsteen, who received a special Tony Award during Sunday night. The intimate show, “Springsteen on Broadway” — or as De Niro referred to it, “Jersey Boy” — features the Boss performing his music and sharing stories from his 2016 autobiography “Born to Run.” Tickets to the exclusive concert residency, which has been extended twice, are upwards of $850.





“Do you have any idea how hard it is to get tickets for Bruce Springsteen’s show on Broadway? It’s easier to get tickets for ‘Hamilton,’ and that’s got a much bigger cast, actual dancing and a history lesson,” De Niro joked.

So when De Niro finally got the call to see Springsteen play live, he said ‘yes without asking any questions.”

“Bruce, you can rock the house like nobody else,” he said. “And even more important in these perilous times, you rock the vote, always fighting for, in your own words, ‘Truth, transparency, and integrity in government.’ Boy, do we need that now.”

Springsteen then took the stage to perform a soulful rendition of “My Hometown.”

Looked at the reader comments on Variety as you suggested. The comments were overwhelmingly anti Deniro as shown from this apparently at least center-Left publication.

This may suggest a favorable election outcome in at least 2020, if not sooner, should the economy continue its course and Trump can deliver a reasonable treaty on North Korea.

If they're sneering at all, they're sneering at the stupid, some of whom may be working class. Meanwhile, you think your hero, Trump, gives a shit about you or anyone else but himself? Keep dreaming. His "common touch" is better characterized as more of a pussy grab.

I love this stupid leftist argument about Trumpy.
“You think he gives a shit about you??”
Lol.
Is that all you got?
I hope you pussies all cry yourselves to sleep tonight on your huge pillows.

TORONTO (AP) — Robert De Niro apologized to Canadians on Monday for the "idiotic behavior of my president" a day after the actor launched an expletive at Donald Trump at the Tony awards.
De Niro said Trump's remarks about Canada are a "disgrace" and apologized to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and others who attended the Group of Seven summit of leaders in Canada. Trump called Trudeau "dishonest" and "weak" following the summit on Saturday. Trump advisers also ripped Trudeau, branding him a back-stabber.
De Niro made his comments at a groundbreaking for a new restaurant and hotel complex in Toronto.
At the Tony awards, De Niro launched an expletive at Trump and pumped his arms for emphasis. Many in the audience stood and cheered, while TV censors quickly bleeped out the offending words.
Trudeau has not issued any public remarks about Trump's latest attacks. Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said her nation "does not conduct its diplomacy through ad hominem attacks."
