At the Cannes Film Festival, Leonardo DiCaprio presented Robert De Niro with the Honorary Palme d'Or, humorously remarking on De Niro's quiet demeanor. This was evident during a subsequent event where De Niro engaged minimally with questions about his documentary on his parents, often replying with simple affirmatives. JR, the interviewer, struggled to draw out more in-depth responses, leading to awkward moments and highlighting De Niro's tendency to convey meaning through few wordsâultimately demonstrating the power of subtle expression in storytelling.
"The thing about Bob is, he doesn't say much, but when he does, it matters," said DiCaprio. "If I'm lucky, I'll get a nod from him tonight, maybe even a half-smile, and I will take that as a standing ovation."
De Niro indicated over and over again that it was some combination of the three. Whenever JR repeated the question in a new way, De Niro replied with fewer words, eventually staring off into the middle distance as if waiting to be rescued by Juliette Binoche in her white hood.
