I would have sold my soul just to be with him…. ( meh I’m exaggerating.. but I would do anything to be with him) Is there a guy that as hot as he was? If it’s the case he would have no charisma like Al or would like a baby. Take me back to 90s

It’s funny, I remember once years ago during an interview he said that on the Godfather, he, Talia Shire, & Morgana King were the only "full Italians" in the family. John Cazale was half, Robert DeNiro is a quarter. And neither Marlon Brando nor James Caan were Italian at all.
Normally, none of this would raise an eyebrow with me. But DeNiro directed a movie called A Bronx Tale, about the Italian neighborhood that he grew up in, which was where I lived until I was 8. He recreated what that neighborhood looked like in the 1950's . During the opening shots, when the boy is narrating and the camera is giving a tour of the neighborhood, I was on the edge of my seat.
Everyone else in the theater, here in the Midwest, was just sitting back eating their popcorn. lol
@DrWatson DeNiro directed it, but it was based on a play written by Chazz Palminteri (who plays Sonny in the movie). The story is his autobiography, even down to the boy’s name. He was born Calogero Lorenzo "Chazz" Palminteri . Chazz’s family is from Sicily.
@DrWatson A Bronx Tale is one of my favorite movies. It was sad that Lillo Brancato got into trouble later, but it seems like he’s overcoming his problems. He’s sober and acting again.
