Chicago – April 15, 2025
Robert De Niro has recently expressed his elation over receiving the Honorary Palme d’Or at the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
The Amsterdam actor’s tribute will reportedly be held during the festival’s opening ceremony on May 13, via Variety.
“I have such close feelings for Festival de Cannes…,” said the 81-year-old about the upcoming lifetime achievement tribute at the festival.
Robert added, “Especially now when there’s so much in the world pulling us apart, Cannes brings us together — storytellers, filmmakers, fans, and friends. It’s like coming home.”
This is not the first time that the legendary actor made an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival.
The Intern actor last walked the red carpet for Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and also presided over the jury 14 years ago.
Meanwhile, Robert will take part in a masterclass on the stage of the Debussy Theatre on May 14.
