Robert De Niro has revealed he was in “excruciating” pain after getting injured while shooting Killers of the Flower Moon.
De Niro said the injury, which reportedly did not happen on set, isn’t likely to affect his performance as cattleman William Hale. “What I’m doing with Scorsese in Killers of the Flower Moon, I’m pretty much a sedentary character in a way,” he said. “I don’t move around a lot, thank god.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars alongside De Niro as his character’s nephew Ernest Burkhart, while Lily Gladstone plays Burkhart’s wife Mollie and Jesse Plemons portrays FBI agent Tom White.
The actor, 77, has left Oklahoma, where the Martin Scorsese film is being made, and is now recovering in New York following the leg injury.
