Robert De Niro has said that Charlie Chaplin would not be allowed into the US today due to Donald Trump’s immigration policy.
British citizen Chaplin first travelled to the US in 1910 and resided in the country for 40 years.
“You’re supporting the slapstick of Charlie Chaplin, the great body of work of Marty Scorsese and Barry Levinson, the dumb-ass comedies of Robert De Niro, the ‘overrated performances of Meryl Streep’ and your own taste and needs.”
De Niro had previously written a letter in support of Streep after her attack on Trump at the Golden Globes, writing that her comments “needed to be said”.
