Even Hollywood's biggest legends have blind spots! Robert De Niro, the man, the myth, the legend, recently dropped a bombshell: he never saw his 1976 classic, "Taxi Driver," becoming the cinematic masterpiece it is. Can you believe it? Page Six got the exclusive on this unexpected revelation, proving even the greats can be surprised by their own success.
This flick, which gave us the unforgettable "You talkin' to me?" line, is gearing up for a major milestone. The Tribeca Festival is honoring its 50th anniversary with a special screening. That’s right, half a century of Travis Bickle patrolling the gritty streets of New York!
It just goes to show, sometimes even the stars don't know when they've got gold. But hey, we're not complaining! Fifty years later, and "Taxi Driver" is still a must-watch. What a ride!
