EXCLUSIVE Javier Bardem 'offered £600,000 to star in Uber Eats advert' - following in the footsteps of Hollywood legend Robert De Niro By HARRIET KEAN Published: 23:46 GMT, 23 November 2024 | Updated: 23:50 GMT, 23 November 2024 e-mail View comments When veteran film director Francis Ford Coppola singled out Javier Bardem as a potential 'heir' to Hollywood legend Robert De Niro , he probably didn't expect him to take it so literally. But the Spanish actor is now set to follow directly in De Niro's footsteps after signing a 'six-figure deal' to appear in an advert for Uber Eats – just a year after the Taxi Driver star appeared in a similar ad. Bardem, 55, could pocket £600,000 from the food delivery company for the new ad, which insiders say will be filmed in London .
And De Niro, perhaps, has reason to be worried. It comes in the same week it was announced that Bardem is also set to reprise De Niro's role in a television remake of 1991 psychological thriller Cape Fear. He will take on the role of convicted violent rapist Max Cady, who seeks vengeance on his lawyer after serving a 14-year prison sentence, in a series for Apple TV+ which will see Martin Scorsese return as director.
De Niro's advert for Uber's membership scheme, Uber One, saw the 81-year-old appear alongside Sex Education star Asa Butterfield. Spanish actor Javier Bardem (pictured) has signed a 'six-figure deal' to appear in an advert for Uber Eats Robert De Niro last year starred in an advert for Uber's mem.
