Must-watch movies starring the senior American Citizen
Two of his movies have won him Oscars, a clear indication that you should get your popcorn and binge-watch them!
Raging bull. Here De Niro stars as Jake La Motta, who is self-destructive, is so jealous, and his animalistic appetite destroys his relationship with his wife and family. In this film, De Niro had to build muscle and train aggressively to play the iconic boxer, Jake La Motta. He gained a good 60 pounds.
The godfather part II earned De Niro his first Oscar. His role in this movie proved that he was an acting powerhouse who would be around for decades. His role as Vito Corleone is where he rose to power decades earlier after he immigrated from Italy as a child.

Shocking discoveries
I’m not really sure if this is shocking or if De Niro is just a man of unspeakable talents. In his famous movie “Taxi Driver,” he was having a monologue where he improvised the line “You talkin’ to me?”.
The Italian American icon is a cancer survivor. In 2003, De Niro had prostate cancer at 60 years of age. Fortunately, due to his routine cancer screening, the cancer was detected early. The star made a full recovery in 2011.
Who do you think would want to kill De Niro? The star received a package that apparently was a “mail bomb.” The device was found at the Tribeca Grill in Manhattan. Seeing as similar devices were also sent to senior public figures such as the former president of America, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. It begs the question, who would want to kill such prominent people?
