Robert De Niro is among a growing number of celebrities who have paid tribute to Meryl Streep following her attack on Donald Trump at the Golden Globe awards on 8 January.
Streep’s speech, made as she picked up the lifetime achievement award, took Trump to task for his impression of a disabled reporter.
Following the ceremony, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association sent Streep an email to praise her address.
De Niro, who last year expressed the desire to punch the president-elect in the face, sent his sometime co-star a letter, the text of which was obtained by People magazine.
