Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor In a video that circulated on X Wednesday, Robert De Niro can be seen yelling at a crowd while Jesse Plemons looks on from the sidelines. The video, taken by an unknown outlooker, was reposted by several pro-Israel accounts that subtitled De Niro’s dialogue and began circulating it, claiming that De Niro was shouting at pro-Palestinian protestors and referring to the Israel-Hamas War that started Oct. 7.
But the veteran actor was actually rehearsing a new Netflix show on location, his representative Stan Rosenfield confirmed. “What was seen was erroneous reports of Robert De Niro supposedly yelling at a group of anti-Israeli protesters,” Rosenfield said. “De Niro’s lines were 100% scripted,” said the rep.
“The video was a small snippet from a rehearsal scene from the Netflix series ‘Zero Day‘ which was being filmed on the streets of New York, April 27, where the character played by De Niro is confronting a group (all paid extras).” “Someone copied the post and fabricated an entirely different and bogus meaning,” Rosenfield explained. Netflix also confirmed that De Niro’s speech was from the series’ script and not related to demonstrations in response to the Israel-Palestine conflict. In the video, De Niro can be heard shouting, “This is not a movie, this is real! That’s dangerous and they say they’re going to do it again! Again! You don’t want that.
None of us want that. C’mon. Let’s all get serious.” The footage was misrepresented in several posts on social media, including one that labeled the video, “Robert De Niro Stands with Israel!” In the conspiracy thriller series “Zero Day,” De Niro plays a former President of the U.S.

This year's Met Gala produced some incredible fashion moments – hello, Kim Kardashian's teeny tiny waist and Elle Fanning's ethereal gown – but if you looked past the gowns and the glamour, you might have noticed some new hair colours as well.Though Sydney Sweeney certainly took the trophy for the biggest hair transformation, opting for a short black bob complete with a full fringe, it was one blonde tone in particular that reigned supreme on the red carpet: a 'spun with gold' blonde.The shade was worn on Sunday night by Brie Larson and Rebecca Ferguson (and previously by Margot Robbie), who both looked radiant as they posed for the Met Gala cameras.Their Schwarzkopf Professional hair colourist, Jacob Schwartz, is the mastermind behind the shade – which we're predicting will be a big summer hair colour trend in salons – and he's since sent us over a description of what to ask for yourself if you fancy a gold and gorgeous transformation. He explains: "My version of the expensive "Monday blonde”, I call 'spun with gold' and involves a meticulously thorough amount of micro highlights throughout the entire hair.
