Last year, the legendary actor Robert De Niro, at the age of 79, welcomed his baby girl with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. In a recent interview with AARP The Magazine, the Godfather actor shared his experience of becoming a father for the seventh time and reflected on the dynamics with his family.
Robert De Niro is incredible as the embodiment of evil in KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, but let’s not forget that he gave the best performance of his entire career in THE IRISHMAN. A masterful portrayal of a man who sold his soul piece by piece to an indifferent and violent world. pic.twitter.com/emV1CRTCHq

Robert De Niro Becomes Emotional While Talking About His Family And Youngest Daughter Gia.
The two times Oscar Winner recently spoke with AARP The Magazine, where he became emotional when asked about his family. In the early days of his career, Robert De Niro would present himself to casting directors as “Bob De Niro” and boldly ask them if they had heard of his father before showing them his sketches. When asked if he had inherited his father’s artistic tendencies, Robert Di Nero declined to elaborate.
“Could be… Could be. Maybe.”
The chat about his family made him smile, and he brought out his phone to reveal his screen saver, a photo of toddler Helen, his second child with Grace Hightower (split in 2018). Robert De Niro was ecstatic as he introduced his baby daughter in the screen saver, who would soon turn 12. He also mentioned his Bernese mountain dog, who is tragically no longer with them. He expressed his love for animals and revealed that he now had an army of little dogs.
This is my about-to-be 12-year-old daughter. And that giant cloud all around her is a Bernese mountain dog. He’s no longer with us, but I’ve got a bunch of little dogs now. You know, I just really like animals.
The topic of Gia, his youngest daughter, got him emotional as he discussed his experience as a parent for the seventh time. Tiffany and Robert planned their pregnancy, and Gia Virginia Chen De Niro was brought into the world by love on April 6, 2023, as reported to CBS Mornings‘ Gayle King. Tiffany suffered a few difficulties after giving birth to her daughter during her postpartum healing, and the Killer Of The Flower Moon actor remained by her side the entire time. Robert Di Nero, speaking of Gia, said that when he looks at his daughter, all of his concerns vanish.
“It feels great. Everything that I’m consumed with or worried about just goes away when I look at her. It’s wondrous. When she gets older — who knows? But that very sweet way she has of looking at you, taking you in, thinking and watching and observing …”
Alongside his co-star, Lily Gladstone from Killers, Robert De Niro, 80, is nominated for the upcoming Academy Awards. He has been the centerpiece of this year’s awards season so far.
