Robert De Niro is notorious for being uncomfortable in interview situations. He's only recently started doing movie junkets despite over 40 years in the business and will occasionally pop up on the talk show circuit.
Promoting his new film 'Joy' with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, he found himself on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert - an obvious De Niro fanboy.
What transpires should be awkward; De Niro isn't rude, he's shy. But Colbert gets this and being the best interviewer in Late Night is really able to have fun with it. Embracing the awkward and kind of making the legendary actor feel more at ease and then genuinely look like he's enjoying himself.
This should put a smile on your face. Watch both if you have time.
