82-year-old Robert De Niro found himself at the center of attention after appearing on Broadway with his arm in a sling. The Goodfellas legend attended the play Oedipus at the iconic Studio 54 in New York, arriving despite visible signs of a recent medical procedure. Paparazzi captured the actor with his right arm carefully secured in a supportive sling.
After the performance, De Niro went backstage, where he personally congratulated the cast and expressed his support for the production. According to witnesses, the star was in excellent spirits, actively chatting with the actors and smiling, though clearly being cautious with his injured arm.
A representative for the actor confirmed to People that De Niro recently underwent a minor medical procedure. He is required to wear the stabilizing sling for a few more days to allow the arm to heal fully. Sources emphasize that there are no serious complications and the actor is feeling well.
Journalists from The Post reached out to the actor’s team for additional comments, but have not yet received a response. Meanwhile, fans are discussing how resilient De Niro remains, continuing to lead an active public life even after a doctor-ordered intervention.
Despite his age and the recent procedure, Robert De Niro remains fully active — attending premieres, supporting theatre, and looking ready for new projects. It seems that minor health setbacks are not enough to slow down the Hollywood legend.
