what can I say...he's a living legend...one of the best actors ever, and one of my all time favourites

he is the son of Robert De Niro, Sr., an abstract expressionist, and Virginia Admiral, a painter

friends with Al Pacino since both met in 1969

his father died 03. May 1993 (he was 71 years old), and his mother is still alive (at least, that's what I know)

best friends with Martin Scorsese...when DeNiro visited his dying father in the hospital, he also visited Martin Scorsese's ailing father in the same hospital. "My father never forgot that", Scorsese says (Scorsese's father died in August 1993)

De Niro formed his own production company in 1989: TriBeCa Productions

his 1st wife was Diahnne Abbott (1976 - 1988, divorced)

has two kids with Diahnne Abbott...daughter Drena (* 1971 | actress and model...her biological father is unknown, De Niro adopted her after his marriage to Abbott), and son Raphael (* 1978)

is married to Grace Hightower since 17. June 1997

has two kids with Grace Hightower...Elliot (* 18. March 1998) and Helen Grace (* 23. December 2011 | via surrogate)

his daughter Drena appeared in 'Grace of My Heart' (1996), together with Dustin Hoffman's daughter, Jenna Byrne in 'Wag the Dog' (1997), in 'Too Tired To Die'(1998) and in 'Great Expectations' (1998)

has twin sons, Aaron Kendrick and Julien Henry  (* 20. October 1995) with former girlfriend Toukie Smith

Chazz Palminteri about DeNiro when they did 'A Bronx Tale' (1993):"His eyes are like hands that reach out and grab you."

Martin Scorsese once said about De Niro:"He doesn't look at you, he considers you."

and De Niro´s mother says:"He doesn't miss anything and he's always looking, That's one reason he doesn't talk much."
