Robert De Niro

Often regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time, Robert De Niro was also considered to be one of the most enigmatic. Due to his abhorrence with being interviewed, De Niro remained famously tight-lipped about his personal life, background, opinions about other actors and just about everything else that had nothing to do with acting. Even then, he had sometimes put fear into journalists whenever he was asked about playing Travis Bickle in “Taxi Driver” (1976), going on an eating tour in the south of France to gain 60-pounds for “Raging Bull” (1980) or wearing custom-made silk underwear
