“Don’t lie, you all do!” : Robert de Niro Leonardo DiCaprio noted in his honorable palm skin in 2025

Last year, after Meryl Streep and George Lucas, it is an American actress, director and producer Robert de Niro, who receives an honorary golden palm for all of her careers during the opening ceremony of the 78th Cannes Festival.

Fourteen years from the jury president, one of the greatest stars of the 7th art, who mentioned the world of cinema with his subtle play, was given his cult replicas and his mythical face to this skin movie and not from anyone!

Leonardo DiCaprio respects Robert de Niro

During the opening ceremony of this 78th Cannes Film Festival for Robert de Niro’s Honorable Palm, this is one of his recent partners who moved: Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom he shared a poster on the floral moon, represented in Cannes in 2023.

The two favorite actors of Martin Scorsese have already responded with hidden injuries in 1994, but with Scorsese never worked in front of the floral moon killers when they could play several times on Marty Set!

The 78th Cannes Festival is the case of a new meeting of Martin Scorsese’s two favorite actors. Leonardo DiCaprio paid tribute to “Bob”, his work, his career, his legacy and excitement that inspired him.

“Tonight, I have a badge, and the honor of being there, before you, I honored someone who was always a model for me and my generation of actors. He was our idol, Robert de Niro. Robert de Niro’s work.

I heard this in Los Angeles and, like all young actors, of course, we follow him, we looked at it from every corner. Let’s try to understand how he was completely immersed in his characters. It was a model. It wasn’t just another great actress, it was an actress. I was one of the young blessed actors who had an incredible chance of working with him, very, very early, due to a secret injury.

Listening was difficult. There was a lot of competition, and none of us knew who the role would be. And when we are 15 years old, we try to distinguish ourselves. And the only thing I found was that I stood up and shouted at him from the bottom of my soul, and it was a crazy and soul concert.

During the day, Bob, as we called him, Robert De Niro, part and his producer, Art Lundson, said to him, “Do you want to be for the role?” And usually Robert De Niro, he replied, “I want to be a hearing time.” And fortunately, I was. And that’s where my life was turning. It was the beginning of my film’s career.

It happened later when Robert de Niro told Martin Scorsese: “I made this movie, you have to work with this baby.” Which led to the whole bouquet of cooperation, projects. And now, Robert De Niro, Bob, as we call it, he doesn’t say much, but when he talks, we listen to him. Whether he addresses his friends, his family, whether he is faithful to democracy, or supports a movie theater, he is there and very current.

Of course, Bob, as we call it, would not have a magical drug. He grew up and bathed in art. His father was an artist, a serious artist who was faithful to the truth. We feel his influence in Robert de Niro’s work. Because everything that was fake was released to tell the truth, no matter what the difficulty of this truth.

He taught the whole generation of actors how to look in the mirror and how to talk to each other. Don’t lie, make everyone.

And then this is a legendary partnership with Martin Scorsese. Together they told the most legendary stories of cinema without compromise stories. They were not just filmed, they determined what could be the cinema. They focused on the relationship between actors and directors at the crucifixion stage, with risk sharing. Something incredible.

When my father made me see the first films of Bob, Taxi Driver, Godfather II at the end of hell, the bulls are raging, etc. Sometimes scenes without words are the strongest.

This is what only the greatest actors know how to do, that is, to say that without a word you will be taken to the character’s inner castle. To be honest, he taught the whole generation of actors how to look in the mirror and how to talk to each other. Don’t lie, make everyone. If you know Robert De Niro and I think you most, you know him, of course, you know that yes, he likes to shake the rack in the fire, but he is also sometimes like his intimacy.

And maybe this evening, it gives me a very small smile, for me, it will be news. From time to time, even the largest monuments need an intimate relationship and need moments of recognition, not only for the job, but for the long -term influence, with the expectation that they had for so many lives as a mine. Without talking about the world of the planet, I would just say that there is no one who deserves this palm of honorable gold than Mr. Robert De Niro. Bob, congratulations and thank you for everything. “

Palm of Honor to one of the legendary actors in cinema

When we think about Robert De Niro, we obviously have his cult replica “I am me to speak?” (“Are you talking to me?”

Sometimes a thieves or a large gangster, an antihero or a tender paternal figure, a comedy or a second touch, Robert de Niro stood out in various registers during his long career, during which he collaborated with adults.

Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, Elijah Kazan, Sergio Leone, Agnes Varda, Quentin Tarantino, James Mangold, Alfonso Kuaron, Barry Levinson, David O. Russell and Nancy Meyers had the chance to divide Robert de Niro.

At the age of 81, the actor can boast that he appeared in 110 films, won 2 Oscars and was one of the greatest actors of his generation, who was inspired by the following generations, always trying to lead his discourse, which is open to changes, diversity and future.

“Thank you Leo for being with me and this special evening for me. Thank you very much for this golden Honorable Palm at the Cannes Film Festival. Thank you at the Cannes Film Festival for creating this society, this world, this home, for anyone who wants stories on the big screen.

For the first time I arrived in 1973 with Martin Scorsese for the average streets. And 50 years later, Martin Scorsese’s floral moon murder. And between the two, so to speak, I brought with a film from Bertolucci, Roland Joffe, Sergio Leone, John Nutchon, Irvin Winkler, Barry Levinson. And then, again with March.

I was a jury president. I came as a movie buffet. This is my house, my society. This is where I love the network of those who are at the festival. This is a platform of ideas. This is the holiday of our work and it enhances our new projects. It was here that Paul Zimmerman, a former Newsweek critic, gave me Martin Scorsese, which he wrote. We found it perfectly and did it.

And in the skin, it was definitely a meeting point with Jane Rosental, moreover, at the time and at CraG Hatkoff. We started the Tribeca Festival in 2002. Our goal was first and foremost to bring people back to the World Trade Center after the cruelty.

Art is inclusive, it unites people this evening. Art is in search of freedom. Art involves diversity and that is why it threatens art. That is why we are threatened by autocrats and fascists in this world. The American Philistine President named himself as one of our cultural institutions. He simply reduced the money for humanitarian sciences, higher education.

He has now announced 100% customs duties on films outside the United States. But it is said, at one point, creativity is invaluable. But obviously, you can put custom tariffs on creativity, which is unacceptable. And all of these attacks are unacceptable. This is not just an American problem, it’s a problem with a common achievement. Unlike the movie, we cannot rest and sit.

We have to act and today we have to act, immediately, without violence, but with passion, by definition. Time has come. Anyone who loves freedom should arrange, protest. And the time has come during the vote when the elections exist. Voting is very important. Tonight and in the next 11 days we will be obliged to respect our festival with respect for art, freedom, equality, brotherhood.“

After these honorable palms, the most lucky festival will be able to attend Robert De Niro’s master class, which is given on the scene of Palais Des festivals on Wednesday, May 14.

The 78th Cannes Film Festival is May 13 to May 24, 2025.
