Many times the news is given like this, almost without intending it, almost without realizing it. That was how actor Robert De Niro, 79, chose to tell it he was a father for the seventh time.
Notable performer of films such as The Godfather, Taxi driver OR the wild bull I was giving an interview to the site ET Canada about his next film About my father (about my father), which will be released on May 26 in the United States. A more than propitious situation to find out about one’s paternal role.
When asked what his love language is, the famous actor – the same one Argentine President Alberto Fernández imagines is the protagonist of his biopic – told reporter Brittnee Blair that he believes “in being loving to your children “, although sometimes he has to “get tough on things”.
“I mean, there’s nothing to do with the kids. I don’t like having to lay down the law and stuff like that. But sometimes you have no choice,” De Niro explained. “And any parent, I think, would say the same. You always want to be good to the kids and give them the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes you can’t.”
The revelation
It was then that Blair said, “I know you have six kids,” to receive a correction from Robert De Niro: “Seven, actually, I just had a baby“He revealed without giving any further explanation.
What at the time seemed like a joke by the actor, he made protocols out of it ET Canada Representatives of De Niro took action and contacted, who confirmed that the famous protagonist of twentieth century AND the Irish – to name a few of his hundreds of films – is now the father of seven children. However, it is unclear who the mother is.
As the interview continued, the star of The Godfather He later said he doesn’t consider himself a “great father,” despite Sebastian Maniscalo, who plays De Niro’s son in the film. About my fatherthis is how he calls his character Salvo, “a great father”.
Your role as a dad
In the interview, Robert De Niro continued to recount what it was like as a father. “I’m fine,” he said. Sometimes my kids disagree with me and are respectful. My daughter, she is 11, sometimes I feel sorry for her and fight with her. I love her, but these are things that happen. And as for my baby, he’s too young, discussions will come later.”
De Niro has been married twice. He shares two sons, Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46, with his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, and two sons, Elliot, 25, and Helen, 11, with his ex-wife, Grace Hightower. He is also the father of twins Aaron and Julian, 27, with his ex-girlfriend, Toukie Smith.
We’ll need to confirm if Toukie Smith is the mother of his seventh child (we don’t even know the gender), or if the actor had his baby with another woman.
Perhaps it will be in the next interview.
