The hero of the taxi driver, the raging bull and the son of the godfather On the sidelines of his honor in Marrakech, Morocco that the role of US President Donald Trump is the only role he can never represent.
It may seem surprising in the light of De Niro's performance of the roles of benevolence, but he is equally evocative in the demonization of evil characters that leads them to extremes indifferent to the reaction of a segment of the public.
"With all the characters - even the villain - I can find a point of sympathy for something that makes its humanity, with Trump I can not," he said.

An extraordinary evening by Robert De Niro, the American film star, takes place on Saturday night from Martin Scorsese, the co-star of the Marrakech International Film Festival, in honor of a brilliant track by the actor who has attacked the hard-line nationalism of the United States.

And the site "autographs" with a frankness that was praised by everyone.
The organizers were rushing to take the star to a celebration venue, which observers saw as one of the festival's strongest moments since its founding in 2001, as if the big guest preferred the automatic warmth of the people to the official arrangements for which he is known to be embarrassed.
The human sensibility of the world star reached its range when his voice was rattled and he stopped for a second, his tears recoiling as he recaptured the story of his relationship with his companion, Scorsese, whose partnership has produced lasting masterpieces in the history of cinema.
