You talkin’ to me?
Just days after Clint Eastwood spoke in defence of Donald Trump, another legend of cinema has come out to blast the Republican nominee for President of the United States.
Robert de Niro, famous for his roles in Goodfellas, The Godfather II and Heat, has likened Donald Trump to one of his most famous characters – Travis Bickle, from Taxi Driver.
“I don’t know, it’s crazy that people like Donald Trump …, he shouldn’t even be where he is, so God help us.”
“What he’s been saying is really totally crazy, ridiculous … he is totally nuts.”
“But I think now they are really starting to push back, the media … finally they are starting to say: Come on Donald, this is ridiculous, this is nuts, this is insane.”
De Niro made the remarks in Sarajevo, Bosnia at a 4oth anniversary screening of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver.
