Actor Robert De Niro is finally breaking his silence after his good old friend Al Pacino came out with some shocking news.

The star revealed how he is excepting a baby with his girlfriend and that left the entire Hollywood industry shaken. After all, Pacino is 83 and it’s not the sort of news anyone was expecting from him.

The star showed up for a morning talk show and that’s where he was seen all smiles, talking about his own career and whatnot.

He said he was happy to be here and doing programs like these after a long time. But what a lot of people failed to realize is that one controversial question was yet to be spoken about.

One thing was on everyone’s mind. How was Al Pacino doing and what was his real reaction to the news of a baby at 83?

De Niro sat down with NBC morning talk show hosts to go into detail about the matter. He says he does not understand what’s the big deal. He’s happy and people should be happy for him.

The shocking news has really left people at a standstill. The entire Hollywood industry spoke about how they were so startled by the confirmation of a baby at this age.

Remember, Pacino himself had demanded a DNA test for the baby because he had just broken up with the mother. But it seems that fate had something else in store.

De Niro admitted that his pal is a little older than him but it’s okay. It’s a moment of great celebration and the world needs to take it that way.

When asked about what he felt about parenthood at this age, the celeb says De Niro was great in that department and was very well aware of what he was getting into.
