Robert De Niro, 81, in wild crossover as he takes daughter to meet The Wiggles
Robert De Niro swapped Hollywood sets for something a little more wholesome as he took his two-year-old daughter Gia to meet The Wiggles. The 81-year-old A-lister, who shares the toddler with martial artist girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 45, took the little one to hang out with the Australian children's group before their show in New York over the weekend.
The Wiggles shared a sweet clip of Robert shaking hands with all the cast members, who were dressed in their colourful costumes ready for the show. The Taxi Driver actor looked delighted to be there while adorable Gia played with bubbles and looked at her favourite characters in awe.
"It was such a thrill to spend some time with the legendary Robert De Niro and his family before our concert here in New York City," they captioned the post.
A few other children and their parents were seen backstage with the cast as they entertained the little ones. Earlier this year, Robert opened up about life as a new dad.
While appearing on BBC Radio 2 's Breakfast Show in February, the actor spoke to radio host Scott Mills about his daughter Gia.
Robert - known for films like The Godfather Part II (1974) and Taxi Driver (1976) - revealed in the interview that he doesn't watch as many films as he "should". He went on to tease that he watches children's shows with Gia though.
Asked what he watches at home, the actor told host Scott: "I don't watch as many movies as I should. I try to watch films especially that I'm told ... I just wanna keep up, but I watch current events if you will, news, stuff like that.
"Now I watch with my little girl ... the Wiggles and Ms Rachel."
Scott then asked about his knowledge of other kids shows, saying: "Do you know about Bluey?" Robert replied: "No. I'll look up ... I'll look for them."
The presenter said: "Please will someone write this down because this might change your life in terms of attention span. Do you know what I'm saying? Bluey and Hey Duggee."
Robert responded: "Bluey and Hey Duggee, okay." While discussing the Wiggles and Ms Rachel, he added: "I didn't know of them until I started seeing them and my daughter loves to watch them." He later said about the Wiggles: "They're great. Got lots of energy, they're terrific."
In January, Robert told The Times that he's an "early riser" and said about his youngest daughter: "I spend my mornings watching Ms Rachel with her, and I give her her bottle."

But their appeal has sparked a backlash after they shared a video from their journey online. The brothers, known as 'Lambros', filmed themselves at Ruthven Barracks, near Kingussie in the Highlands. The siblings recorded themselves running on top of the site's walls and one of them threw a large stone. The ruined fort was once a Jacobite stronghold during the 1700s. A spokesperson for Historic Environment Scotland, which manages Ruthven Barracks, said it is investigating complaints. Dressed in novelty Union Jack shorts, bucket hat and flag, the brothers appealed to their 480,000 followers. But their antics at the ancient site sparked a backlash from unimpressed members of the public. One person posted: "Raising money for cancer is cool, disrespecting Scotlands heritage is not. Another said: "What a shame. Hope they eat a few fines." Moment cops 'pelted with eggs & stones' as hundreds of protesters gather in Scots street A third wrote: "As an Aussie, this is f***ing embarrassing." A spokesperson for Historic Environment Scotland (HES) said: 'We have been made aware of this incident and are investigating. 'While we appreciate their wider fundraising activity is for a good cause, our historic sites should be treated respectfully and engaged with safely. "This is to avoid irreparable damage to the sites themselves, whether deliberate or accidental, and to avoid endangering the safety and enjoyment of others.' The Lamble brothers have been contacted for comment.
