Billy Crystal Kicks Off the AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute To Robert De Niro

[@nathelondon3719]

Could listen to Billy Crystal’s stories all night. He is a great raconteur.

[@jimnewcombe7584]

No, he's human - he isn't a mammal native to north America.

[@stormwildthing5321]

Who was the girl in red & white dress near the beginning of the clip, she was gorgeous ❤😅

[@kevah94]

Man, Billy is friends with the whole damn Hollywood, what an amazing guy!

[@kieranryan7310]

Dé Niro is one of the greatest, such a versatile performer in many roles, a unique man

[@BDUBZ49]

great actor...not sure I would call him versatile. Many, if not most of his roles are very similar characters.

Really??

Meh, he’s overrated

[@Lado1677]

He's got one face for all his characters, not versatile at all 😕

Billy is always in my mind like the brother I never had.

As a PROUD ITALIAN Man 🇮🇹 it is My Honor to bestow upon , Mr. Billy Crystal the title of Honorary Paisano 🇮🇹

[@tombryan1]

Actors praising actors and giving each other awards, the best thing they do.

[@anthonymagliaro4791]

Why is that the best thing they do? They're only actors - who really gives a shit..

[@anthonymagliaro4791]

I can't argue with that! Well said..

[@meramail]

@@anthonymagliaro4791 can't figure out if you are being sarcastic or not :)

[@NorsePJ]

@@anthonymagliaro4791 too many give a shit for over-paid pretenders. The real heroes and legends are too often ignored. Actors love patting each other on the back and just loooooooove pretentious awards.

[@meirwise1107]

Billy Crystal is the best presenter ever. He's mixed with them, worked with them, even his idols but is appreciative without being overwhelmed or sycophantic. The Oscars aren't the same without Billy.

[@gmar7836]

Yep. He is Oscars gold

[@jimnewcombe7584]

What about Ricky Gervais? He brough a fresh perspective - gone with idolatory.

[@johnpereira7360]

Once every 100 years a classy actor rises like a phoenix. That is Robert De Niro.

[@SuDeep_M9999]

None other than Billy Crystal could hv done better for this occasion and the Honor that obviously goes with it!!🎉

[@Nomoredrama2000]

He looks exactly like his father. I've waited so long for this, Thank you!

[@kiklocus4660]

yup his father looks exactly like young Vito Corleone ( bob deniro )

[@MegaManless]

I love the fact that Martin Scorsese is seated right next to Robert de Niro. So much history.

[@joeygonzo]

And Robert asked him one time, " Are you talking to me? "

[@danielauer9307]

Maybe they are gay for each other. Maybe they married and we dont know it.

[@santinowilliams693]

You never forget the ones who believed in you and helped pave the way, you never forget your friends, yes alot of good history in not only moviemaking but friendship there.

[@Locadel2003]

There is also joe pesci

[@KS-xk2so]

What's legit is one day Leo Dicaprio will be getting this same award... and I bet if he's still alive, Marty will be in that same damn seat. Guys a fucking legend, and knows how to make other legends.

[@LRS905]

Amazes me how Joe Pesci, despite being in Goodfellas and Raging Bull, kickass movies, still reflects that aura of respect for De Niro. Very nice show, indeed...

[@MokhamadOky]

Robert de Niro + Al Pacino is my favorite actor.. Always awesome

[@syahavana]

where is al? 😩

[@webelonghere]

love Billy Crystal... He has something about him to have every persons attention....

[@magpiedaft]

his amount of great parts over all the years is amazing ... think taxi driver , godfather , raging bull , deerhunter , cape fear , midnight run , meet the parents .. he can do it all from heavy drama to comedy ... id watch him painting a wall

[@wallylosangeles4155]

That's why DeNiro is my favorite actor! The Deer Hunter will always be his best performance ever!!!

[@mariusradu3849]

i think that Raging Bull was even better

[@mouhamed4270]

I cant even name a best performance, this man is extremlely talented that anything he did could be named as best performance...taxi driver raging bull deer hunter goodfellas how he excelled comedy in analyse this...oh forgot the godfather casino once upon a time in America i mean come on this man is a legend

[@saadalhagri9240]

My answer is always: king of comedy

[@BetterCallGatto]

Every one paint him as a humble and a great man. Thk u Bobby

[@deniro999]

the greatest actor ever, period. and a great human being too.

[@אהרוןאשכנזי-ס5מ]

Great speech. It's very concise and straight to the point. It feels like Billy Crystal's not playing around and the jokes come very natural. Great setup. :)

[@ChanDan-vn3wk]

What a nice kick-off and tribute! Those standing on the stage paying tribute to De Niro are great consummate actors in their times!

[@Ferruccio_Guicciardi]

greatest actor of all time! I will never forget his performance as young Don Vito Corleone in Godfather Part II.

[@anthonymagliaro4791]

He's good but he's not as good as Daniel Day Lewis, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Lawerence Olivier, Marlon Brando....Daniel Day Lewis is number one my Italian friend….

[@deepdirt]

anthony magliaro DeNiro is definitely better than Pacino. But you’re right about Daniel Day Lewis, that man doesn’t miss. Him and Meryl Streep are the King and Queen of modern cinema.

Robert de Niro is "the cameleon". One of the best and most versatile actors ever. After Marlon Brando, in my opinion, he is nos successor

[@loganstolberg2743]

Totally agreed

[@christineskrivanek9218]

Loved everything abt this clip!

[@isabelledesu]

2019 still here

[@cowboysfan782008]

Man, time go's by fast. I remember 25-30 yrs ago when the last of the Bob Hope/Golden Age of Hollywood actors were on their way out, and bam now you have De Niro Michael Douglas (Amazing Kirk Is Still Around At 102), Pacino and others pushing 80, while guy's like Clint, Hackman, and Sean Connery are pushing 90. There's some great younger actors like Tom Hardy, and Leonardo D, but these are the last of the method actors, many who learned or based their schtick off of Brando.

[@gailthomas2631]

That was quite the range of emotions on Bob's part.

[@p.m.murphy7880]

DE’NIRO THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES. 🍀♥️🇮🇪

Lots of love Robert!❤️

[@heidichristensen9978]

Robert de nero looks so much like his father when He was young😁😁😁

[@DivineSimply]

You can tell they probably dragged him kicking and screaming to this thing. In spite of his celebrity, De Niro's not a public man - in the sense that he doesn't like to display his private feelings in a public arena - uncomfortable with being feted, and obviously torn here between wanting to run out the door and staying to be moved by these loving tributes. A very classy man who doesn't like bullshit.

[@bobmartin7068]

DivineSimply What are you talking about, his whole life and fortune revolved around making bullshit real to the rest of the world.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Bob Martin he's an actor. It doesn't mean he isn't entitled to privacy

[@Wrexxxx]

Jozef Zadel agreed. And the original poster, I wonder if he still believes Deniro is still a “doesn’t like to display his feelings in a public arena” kinda guy still? He hasn’t made a public appearance in years without crying over Trump.

[@stevenjones4059]

[@TheGio2405]

So I could never decide which one is my favourite between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino? That's my eternal dilemma. To watch them on scene together it was a joy, twice, first with the Godfather part 2 even if they never interacted in the same scene and Heat it was a brilliant brilliant movie, I remember I was careful even to breath in case I would have lost any line. Together are the best of the best
