Robert De Niro was injured on the set of

Killers of the Flower Moon

, Martin Scorsese's next film, but the legendary actor is determined to go to the end of the clap.

Asked by Indiewire, the comedian said he felt excruciating pain, but his professionalism goes above all else.

“I tore my quadriceps, I don't even know how.

I just stepped over something and fell.

The pain was excruciating and now I have to get it fixed.

But it does happen, especially when you get older, you have to be ready to deal with the unexpected.

But it's manageable, ”he explained.

The publication explains that the actor was injured in Oklahoma on May 13, in the middle of filming

Killers of the Flower Moon

, which forced him to return urgently to New York for treatment. .

However, his schedule should not be affected: the actor had planned to take a few weeks off anyway.

No need to move

Another positive point: the character that Robert De Niro plays in Martin Scorsese's film doesn't really need his legs, according to the actor.

“What I do with Scorsese in

Killers of the Flower Moon

is I'm kind of a sedentary character.

I don't move much, thank God.

So we will manage.

I just have to do the procedure and keep (the leg) straight in a certain position and let it heal, ”added the star.

Robert De Niro seems in any case very enthusiastic at the idea of ​​seeing the film.

And if the feature film is produced by Apple TV +, he recalls that, unlike many recent films, it will not be intended exclusively for streaming… and that's good, according to him!

“One of the things is that it has to be shown in theaters.

It is a very important component of the project.

By the time it comes out, I hope we will have returned to a situation close to normal, ”he concluded.
