De Niro watches World Cup with random people in Brooklyn

The USA may have lost — but some fans in Brooklyn were big winners when they got to watch the game with Robert De Niro.

The two-time Oscar winner was filming “The Intern” in Cobble Hill on Thursday when he decided he wanted to watch the game against Germany, according to Business Insider.

A neighbor said that their apartment building had received an email from Warner Bros. asking if they could help De Niro.

“Our lead actor, Robert De Niro, would very much like to watch the World Cup game, today at 12 p,” the email said. “Would it be possible to place a small portable satellite on the building rooftop ASAP and run a cable to the street to help facilitate this request?”

According to the neighbor, instead of having to watch the game from his trailer, the 70-year-old actor received an invitation to watch the game with people at a nearby house.

“We got another email from a neighbor saying he talked to the crew and apparently he found a house of people watching it and joined them,” the neighbor said.

Production on the set was then halted for two hours, giving De Niro more than enough time to thoroughly enjoy the festivities.

De Niro’s publicist did not respond to a request for comment.
