Robert De Niro with Lifetime Achievement Palme d'Or at Cannes 2025:

At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, iconic Hollywood actor Robert De Niro was honored with the prestigious Honorary Palme d'Or, celebrating his remarkable five-decade career in cinema. The moment was made even more special as the award was presented by Leonardo DiCaprio, who credited De Niro with launching his own acting journey when they starred together in This Boy's Life (1993). DiCaprio praised De Niro as a "quiet yet transformative figure" in the film industry, hailing his acting skills and temperament.

In his acceptance speech, the 81-year-old De Niro reflected on his long-standing relationship with the Cannes Film Festival, dating back to his first appearance in 1973 with Martin Scorsese. He also utilized the platform to express concerns over recent U.S. policies affecting the arts. Giving a political turn to his speech, De Niro criticized former President Donald Trump's proposed 100% tariff on foreign-made films and his self-appointment as head of the Kennedy Center, actions De Niro viewed as threats to creative expression and democracy. He urged supporters of liberty to protest, organize, and vote, emphasizing that "art represents inclusivity, truth, and diversity—qualities that threaten autocrats and fascists."
