The whole family of Robert de Niro is in mourning. If the actor who needs no introduction has welcomed a seventh child when he is 79 years old, he has just suffered a more than dramatic loss. On his Instagram accountDrena de Niro, the actor’s adopted daughter, informed his subscribers of the death of his son Leandro on Monday July 3, 2023. She has published a photograph of her young son, aged 19 with a very difficult to read description: “My beautiful sweet angel. I loved you beyond words can describe from the moment I felt you in my womb. You have been my joy, my heart and all that has been of purer and truer in my life”. The 51-year-old, visibly upset, also regretted in her message that she could no longer “be with” him and that “love alone” couldn’t save him. She also wrote to be “Sorry” for her son’s father, graffiti artist Carlos Mare. If the latter has not yet spoken after learning this terrible news, he has posted on his Instagram account Monday, July 3, 2023 the image of a black square, symbol of his mourning after the news of this sad loss.
Leandro was following in his grandfather’s footsteps
Not even the age of American majority, Leandro de Niro had his whole life ahead of him and despite his youth, he did not lack ambition. Very inspired by the international career of his grandfather, he dreamed of seeing his face on the big cinema screens. A dream that he started with a bang because he played small roles in many feature films. Indeed, he debuted in 2005 in the film The Collectionthen stood out in 2018, playing in the hit film A star is Born alongside singer Lady Gaga and American actor Bradley Cooper. In the same year he starred in the film Maxim Cabaret. For his part, the star of the film Taxi Driver has not spoken at this time. Certainly very affected by this horrible ordeal, he did not take the time to make a public statement or to express himself on social networks. The father of a large family must certainly give his full attention to his daughter, adopted in 1976 while he was married to actress Diahnne Abbott.
