The network spreads the witty story of the Hollywood actor about his conversation with his wife. We checked whether De Niro reported something like that.
The completely statement is as follows: “After 50 years of marriage, I once carefully looked at my wife and said:“ 50 years ago we had a small house, an old car, we slept on the sofa and watched a small black and white TV, but every night I went to the same bed with a beautiful 19-year-old girl. Now I have a huge road house, a lot of expensive cars, a huge bed in a luxurious bedroom, a TV with wide bedroom. a screen, but I sleep in the same bed with a 69-year-old woman. My wife is a very reasonable woman. She was not offended and did not swear. She just suggested that I find a 19-year-old girl, and she will already make sure that I would live in a small house again, slept on a pierced sofa and watched a black and white TV. Well, aren't women gorgeous? They really know how to solve all the problems of their husbands. ”
The self -irony saying attributed to the actor Robert de Niro published some Russian -speaking Media And Online collectors of aphorisms, but it spread especially actively in social networks: Facebook (there are publications with 9500, 1100 And 226 reposts), Instagram, "VKontakte" And Telegram.
At the time of writing the analysis of the owner of two "Oscars" Robert de Niro Filled 81 years old. In 1976-1988, he was married At his colleague, Diane Ebbott, in 1988-1996 met with the Tuki Smith model, was married to actress Grace Haismit in 1997–2018, and in 2023 he had a child (already seventh) from the martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen. At the same time, all official and civilian wives de Niro, except for the first, were much younger than him (Chen - for 36 years at all). Therefore, the quote that the actor is attributed is incorrect at least from the actual point of view: he simply did not have a wife with whom he lived together for half a century. In any case, to find such a quote in an interview with de Niro, other authoritative sources and even films with his participation failed, and verified accounts on social networks at the actor No.
As the analysis of social networks shows, in Russian a quote with attribution de Niro beginning spread In December 2017. In English, signed by the actor, she too Popularbut appeared on the network later-apparently through English -speaking pages Russian -speaking sites with similar jokes.
However, this does not mean that this joke was not known abroad earlier. In a slightly paraphrased form and without attribution de Niro, it was actively distributed in X Since 2009, on Facebook - Since 2010, and in individual forums you can find and publications 2006. From the same year, a joke has been printed in book publications And American newspapers. Most often, 25 years of marriage appear in it, but there are also variations, for example, from 17, 30, 42, 44 and 50 years. The “problems of husbands” mentioned in the end of the text in many cases are called the “middle age crisis”.
Thus, the quote about 50 years of marriage is not related to Robert de Niro. In fact, this is an anecdote of about 20 years ago, the authorship of which was attributed to the actor by users of social networks no later than 2017.
