Robert De Niro was hailed as his daughter Drena De Niro’s “ride or die” as she marked his 81st birthday. The ‘Taxi Driver’ Oscar-winner reached the milestone on Saturday (17.08.
24) and his actress and model girl, 56, celebrated the occasion with a gushing statement about how he has supported her over the years. She also posted a snap of Robert in red-and-white striped swim shorts jumping off a boat into the sea on a recent vacation – along with a video of him diving into the water as she said: “Woah, he’s so crazy.” Drena could then be heard asking the Hollywood icon in the clip: “Oh my god, are you alright?” – with Robert replying: “Yeah, I’m okay.
” She was then heard saying “s***” when someone told her Robert had jumped about 30 feet into the water. Drena also paid tribute to her famous dad by sharing throwback photos of him feeding a bottle of milk to her late son Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez when he was a toddler and of the grandfather-grandson pair smiling together. Alongside a final picture in her birthday tribute carousel of Robert with two of his grandchildren on a beach she said: “Happy 81st Bday to my Dad and #1 ride or die .
. Love you with all my (three heart emojis) #BobbyD forever (star, crown and star emojis.)” Drena’s boy Leandro was 19 when he died in July from the toxic effects of a drug combination that included fentanyl, bromazolam, alprazolam, 7-aminoclonazepam, ketamine and cocaine.
