Robert De Niro was born on 17 August 1943 in New York. His parents were painters and he began his career when he was then-years-old at a school production where he played the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz.
At sixteen, he dropped out of high school to study acting at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the Actors Studio. He made his first film appearance with director Brian de Palma at age twenty. He has worked with some superb directors, including Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola.
Let's take a look at some of his films:
Hands of Stone: the film tells the story of how the legendary Roberto Duran and his trainer Ray Arcel changed each other's lives. A story of love and passion set in the Golden Era of boxing with Duran's rival, Sugar Ray, as a reference. Ray Arcel was a Harlem Jew who became the first boxing trainer elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame. He trained over two thousand boxers in his seventy-year career, and none were severely injured. The film portrays his comeback after his forced retirement by the Madison Square Garden Mafia.
Dirty Grandpa: The film follows Jason Kelly, who is a week away from marrying his boss's controlling daughter, putting him on the fast track to becoming a partner in the law firm. However, when Jason is tricked into taking his boorish grandfather, Dick, to Daytona for spring break, the marriage begins to be in jeopardy. Between wild frat parties, bar fights, and an epic night of karaoke, Dick seeks to live his life to the fullest with Jason. And so, on the wildest ride of their lives, they both discover they can learn from each other and the bond they never had.
The war with Grandpa: Peter is very upset because he has to give up his room to his grandfather, so he decides to declare war on him in an attempt to get it back. This will lead to a fun and crazy battle between him, his grandpa, and his friends.
