Robert De Niro, 83, says his celebrity can have a “negative impact” on his children who work or want to work in acting. In the comments reported by outlets, he describes show business as a challenging environment for them and suggests that his own stardom may complicate how they are perceived and how they navigate opportunities.
The reporting emphasizes De Niro’s family background in entertainment, including that he has seven children with four different women. While both sources focus on the same theme—De Niro’s concern for the difficulties faced by his children in the industry—the coverage is framed as a personal complaint about the pressures and scrutiny that can accompany a famous parent. Neither source presents contrary accounts or additional perspectives from the children themselves; the emphasis remains on De Niro’s view of the potential downsides of his public profile for their acting careers.
