Robert De Niro's daughter, Drena De Niro, recently shared a video on Instagram of her father celebrating his 81st birthday in a daring way. In the video, the iconic actor is seen leaping off a yacht into the ocean, showcasing his adventurous spirit.
Dressed in red-and-blue striped swim shorts, De Niro took the plunge from a height of 36 feet, diving headfirst into the water. Despite hitting the water on his back, he emerged unscathed, proving his fearless nature.
Concerned for her father's safety, Drena checked on him once he resurfaced, expressing both awe and worry at his bold leap. The video captured the playful interaction between father and daughter, with Drena playfully calling De Niro 'sick' and 'crazy' for his birthday stunt.
The post garnered an outpouring of birthday wishes for the legendary actor, with fans praising his enduring talent and charisma. Many expressed admiration for De Niro's youthful spirit and wished him well on his special day.
Additionally, the Instagram post included a touching throwback photo of De Niro with his late grandson, Leandro, whom Drena shared with her former partner. Tragically, Leandro passed away at the age of 19 due to a toxic mix of illicit drugs, leading to profound grief for the De Niro family.
In response to the heartbreaking loss, Robert De Niro expressed deep distress over his grandson's untimely death, highlighting the profound impact it had on him and his family.
