The 82-year-old Hollywood icon bundled up to brave the chilly weather while arriving at his hotel in Tribeca. He wore a black beanie and a striped scarf, pairing them with a practical navy jacket and matching trousers.
Keeping the look casual and comfortable, the actor chose black sneakers and carried a backpack along with a stack of papers.
Despite concerns about his appearance — and an emotional interview he recently gave — the legendary performer has shown no signs of slowing down professionally, remaining active with several major projects.
De Niro recently returned to the role of the intimidating Jack Byrnes in the upcoming comedy Focker In-Law, where he reunites with Ben Stiller and shares the screen with pop star Ariana Grande. The film is expected to hit theaters in November.
The Oscar winner is also preparing for roles in the psychological thriller The Whisper Man as well as the gritty television series Mr. Natural.
Last month, De Niro became emotional during an interview with journalist Nicolle Wallace on the podcast Best People, produced by MSNBC. During the conversation, he discussed the state of the country and criticized former president Donald Trump, saying the nation was facing serious challenges.
As Wallace asked why he believes in uplifting those around him, the actor struggled to hold back tears while explaining that people must support one another rather than allow division.
He described the current situation in the U.S. as deeply troubling and urged citizens to protect the country and stand up for what they believe in. De Niro added that people must continue to resist and confront difficult challenges if they hope to create change.
His remarks came months after widespread “No Kings” protests across the country and followed earlier criticism in which he compared Trump adviser Stephen Miller to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels during a television appearance.
During that same interview, De Niro also expressed doubt that Trump would willingly step down from power when his term ends, saying he believes the former president would resist leaving office.
