Actor Robert De Niro compared his latest movie role as a real-life killer to former President Donald Trump at the Cannes Film Festival, calling them both “evil.'
suggested that former President Trump could be comparable to his latest movie role as a real-life murderer and criminal.
When discussing the character, De Niro admitted that he didn’t"understand a lot about him" and why he committed the murders. However, he claimed it came about from the"feeling of entitlement" that he linked to Trump. "There’s a feeling of entitlement [that] I guess you could say we became a lot more aware after George Floyd–systemic racism. It’s the banality of evil, and we see it now with — I’m not going to say the name because that guy is stupid," De Niro said."Imagine if you’re smart. Even Hale was smart in many ways."Though he declined to name Trump at the time, De Niro later openly called out the former president in a comment a few moments later.
De Niro was an outspoken Trump critic during his term in office, often resorting to vulgar language. Most notably, he dropped multiple f-bombs against Trump during a live broadcast of the 2018 Tony Awards.
