Robert De Niro took a good long minute out of his speech honoring his good pal, Al Pacino, to call for the removal and arrest of President Trump – and his off-script moment drew mixed reviews.
De Niro was singing Pacino’s praises Sunday at the American Icon Awards — where the veteran actor was among 5 people honored … Quincy Jones and Evander Holyfield were a couple of the others. Right as he was winding down his speech, though … De Niro took the opportunity to remind everyone that he really, REALLY does not like POTUS.
He said Al, of course, was worthy of the Icon award … but the only thing Trump should be getting at this point is impeachment and imprisonment. Check out the rant for yourself — not necessarily as fiery as his “F**k Trump” moment at the Tonys … but same message.
Anyway, as for how the Bev Hills crowd took his Trump pivot … there were actually some boos. As Bob went on and on about DT, the audience seemed a little unsettled.
Tough room.
