WATCH: Robert De Niro goes to town on Donald Trump, says “I’d like to punch him in the face”

Safe to say Bob isn’t a Donald Trump fan.

Celebrities in the United States have been queuing up to express their opposition to Donald Trump throughout the Presidential election so far, even more so following leaked footage of his sexually aggressive comments about women, for which he issued a video apology late on Friday night.

Faces don’t get much more famous than Robert De Niro and the two-time Oscar winner absolutely went to town on Trump when recording a video message for #VoteYourFuture, a non-partisan campaign aimed at encouraging people to get out and vote.

Simply asked “What do you care about?” De Niro tore Trump a new one, calling him “a pig,” “a punk,” “a bullshit artist,” “a bozo,” “blatantly stupid” and saying “I’d like to punch him in the face” in what was probably his most convincing performance in years.

Tell us what you really think, Bob.
