Robert De Niro, one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces, is known for classics like Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, as well as more recent films like The Irishman.
Throughout his career, De Niro achieved his most notable successes collaborating with Martin Scorsese, one of America's greatest directors.
"Scorsese as a director has a very clear vision when it comes to directing, and he steers the film in the direction he thinks is right. He also always gives great support to the actors. I think I was lucky that we worked together so many times, it was a pleasure every time," De Niro said in an interview with Far Out magazine.
The actor began collaborating with industry greats such as Brian De Palma back in the 1960s, before beginning his partnership with Scorsese in the 1970s. Their partnership led to the creation of iconic films such as Streets of Evil, Taxi Driver and New York, New York.
During the same interview, he was asked to name his favorite film and role to date. De Niro could only offer one answer.
"I don't like to pick one best movie, I don't feel comfortable doing that," the star pointed out.
However, after the journalists' insistence, he said that one project has a special meaning for him:
"It doesn't have to be the best, but it's a film that means a lot to me."
The film he was referring to is 2009's Everybody's Fine, a remake of the 1990 Italian film, reports Index.hr.
"The film is directed by Kirk Jones. It's about a father who is estranged from his children and goes on a journey to reconnect with them," De Niro said.
Although the film did not achieve commercial success and was criticised for the clichés of the Christmas genre, the actor is proud of his performance in it and touts the role in this film as his favourite.
Despite the criticism, De Niro's performance in the film was highly praised and the project remains an important part of his career. | BGNES
