De Niro takes shot at Trump as he accepts SAG lifetime award via SABCNewsOnline

The two-time Academy Award winner and star of Oscar-nominated mob film “The Irishman” received the annual Screen Actors Guild tribute celebrating a 50-year career in films ranging from dramas like “The Deer Hunter,” “Raging Bull” and “The Godfather: Part II” to comedies such as “Meet the Parents” and “Silver Linings Playbook.”

He then went on to thank his “comrades in arms” for bestowing the life achievement honor, presented by the SAG-AFTRA union. In 2018, he launched an expletive-laden attack on Trump on live television as a presenter on stage of the Tony Awards for Broadway theater. Trump responded on Twitter by calling De Niro “a very low-key individual.”

He learned to speak a Sicilian dialect to play the young mobster Vito Corleone in “The Godfather: Part II,” a role that earned him his first Oscar in 1975. And he famously gained 60 pounds for his second Oscar-winning performance as boxing great Jake LaMotta in 1980’s “Raging Bull.”
