New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gushed over the idea of “genius” actor Robert De Niro playing him in any film about the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
In an interview with Late Show host Stephen Colbert, the host asked Cuomo: “In the movie of this, when it’s finally made, who do you want to have play you?”
“De Niro, I am a big De Niro fan,” Cuomo responded. “He is just phenomenal. The breadth of his ability, I mean, just look at all the roles he’s played. He can do anything, right? Deer Hunter, Cape Fear, he can do comedy… how ’bout Taxi Driver?”
Despite the fact that the two men were born and raised in New York and both are of Italian heritage, De Niro remains 14 years Cuomo’s senior.
