Anne Hathaway: ‘Tequila makes me forget’

“The regeneration of Manhattans’ downtown area is insane, I say; to the extent that it’s all bankers now -” De Niro swivels his eyes up from the floor and asks me to pause the voice recorder. He is soon dubbed “Mr Congeniality”, charming the rank and file with his “vintage” dress and outdated etiquette – a chivalrous gent in a sea of stumbling, stubbled boys.

At least he didn’t say “You talkin’ to me?”

Robert De Niro has ‘done a Robert Downey Jr’ by storming out of an interview, complaining of “negative inference” in the questions.

DeVine’s Workaholics co-star Anders Holm, meanwhile, said he learned from working with De Niro: “Just do what you’re told”. I had a wonderful time making this movie and I think it yielded a more relaxed performance and I am proud of the work we did and what we created.
