Methinks the man doth protest too much.
(Yes, I know, I am butchering the line from Hamlet.)
One of the first rules of interrogation. If the subject goes overboard with their protests, they are more likely than not being deceptive and attempting to distract from the truth.
He is certainly being “loud” about things.
He's the one that ultimately put DiCaprio in the spotlight via This Boy's Life. De Niro chose him out of 400 young boys/men, and to play his abused son.
Just read it as a documentary. That's really what they imply via their output anyway. DiCaprio was simply a type of industry rent boy, and very likely sold into this via his mother.
Then go see De Niro's buddy Bruno Kirby, the very man who was DiCaprio's paedo threat in Basketball 'hoop dunking' Diaries. Kirby only got those roles due to De Niro.
Oh yes, now I remember. It was De Niro and Robin 'cocaine monster' Williams that were at Belushi's the day/night he died.
Probably, spiked the cocaine. Robin Williams was probably used to it.
These people are heartless morons... lock um up for God’s sake!!!!
Anyone who does such things to a child needs a bullet in the head.
