Phew….and a lot many.

It won't be an exaggeration if we call Robert a highly multitalented, versatile actor or a great method artist. He has the drive to sink deep into the skin of the character that he is portraying. And this ability of his can be very clearly seen in his award winning performances, in movies like the Godfather: PartII for which he took linguistic classes to learn the Sicilian dialect, and Raging Bull where he made it a point to gain an enormous weight of 60 pounds to do justice to his character.

Now, here comes a bout for all those fans who want a peep inside the actor's private life. Robert De Niro was born on 17th of August 1943, in New York City .Robert seems to be bestowed with art since his very birth. The reason why we are saying this is the fact that his both the parents were related to art in one or the other way. His father was an expressionist and mother a painter. As far as his love life or to be more accurate his married life is concerned Robert is presently married to Grace Hightower since 17 June 1997.

Before that in 1976 he married Diahnne Abbott but the two couldn't pull along and divorced in 1988.there have been reports that talked about romantic links between Robert and his girlfriend Toukie Smith. The actor is a proud father of five kids two out of which are mothered by Toukie, through artificial fecundation.
While talking about Robert De Niro, how can one forget about the actor's surviving story. It was a nightmare for the actor and his family when Robert was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in October'2003.Almost every thing in his life came to a big full stop. But even then, doctor's last hope all along the good wishes and blessings of Robert's family, friends and fans worked and Robert once again felt alive, after going through a major surgery. With this we hope that the actor moves on and on and never tires off.

After a detailed flash back let's once again come into present and cast some light on Robert's moves .With movies like Meet the Fockers and Hide and Seek Robert has once again came up with a bang after a short silence. With a show like this he has once again become the unconquerable king of the Box Office and looks as if he's trying to reinventing himself.
