The one and only Robert De Niro, that’s right, the legendary actor who’s starred in classics like The Godfather and Taxi Driver, was recently spotted strolling through the streets of New York City with his son Elliot. And get this, Elliot is 24 years old! Can you believe it? That’s quite the age difference between father and son!
Anyway, the dynamic duo was out and about on March 17, just having a good old chinwag and catching up on some father-son bonding time. They even went into a building together, gasp! Who knows what they were up to in there. Maybe they were hitting up a trendy new coffee shop or plotting a secret mission to take over the world. The possibilities are endless.
Now, Elliot may not be following in his father’s famous footsteps and pursuing an acting career, but he’s got a talent of his own. He’s a tennis player, and a darn good one at that. In fact, he’s appeared in a promotional video for the 50th Anniversary of the Special Olympics, showing off his impressive skills on the court. And get this, Elliot has autism, but his parents signed him up for tennis as a way to help him manage his special needs. Talk about a supportive family!
Robert has a whole bunch of kids, six to be exact. There’s Drena, who’s 51 and his daughter from a previous marriage. Then there’s Raphael, who’s 46 and his son from his first wife, Diahnne Abbott. He’s also got twins, Julian and Aaron, who are 27 and his sons with model Toukie Smith. And of course, there’s Elliot, who’s the youngest at 24 and one of four children he shares with his ex-wife Grace Hightower.
Despite all the ups and downs of fatherhood, Robert has said that being a dad is his greatest blessing. And we can see why, especially when he gets to spend quality time with his kiddos like he did with Elliot. They even dressed casually for their stroll, with Robert rocking a black jacket and sweatpants and Elliot going for a more colorful look with his bright blue sneakers and green beanie. Father-son fashion goals, am I right?
So there you have it, folks. The De Niro clan is alive and well, and still taking on the world one day at a time. Who knows what they’ll get up to next, but one thing’s for sure: it’s bound to be entertaining.
