Piers Morgan, 54, let loose once again on Twitter yesterday, this time commenting on Robert De Niro’s appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
The film star joined Graham on the sofa alongside actor Paul Rudd, musician Bruce Springsteen and actress Sienna Miller while James Blunt performed at the end of the show.
Robert spoke about his new role in Martin Scorsese’s film ‘The Irishman’, but not all viewers were impressed with his on-screen attitude.
Ever critical Piers took to Twitter to express his views on how the actor conducted himself in front of chat show’s live audience.
He tweeted: “Robert De Niro was such a grunting miserable git on the Graham Norton Show last night.
“Why does he do chat shows if he then refuses to chat?”
While many fans agreed with the GMB presenter’s opinion, others were quick to jump to the film star’s aid.
“Robert De Niro is an introvert. He expresses as an actor. It’s a natural place for introverts to live. They’re not usually the life and soul of the party. Leave that to the Extraverts,” one tweeted.
Another replied: “The producers probably gave him a long list of things he’s NOT allowed to say!”
One user joked about a hypothetical exchange between the two stars where Robert would use one of his most famous known film lines “You talkin to me?” to respond to Piers’ criticism of his appearance on the show.
Instead, Piers replied to the fan: “He doesn’t talk to anyone! De Niro was just as rude & monosyllabic when I interviewed him at CNN.”
But viewers did notice the actor began to open up a little more when he turned a question about gangsters into a sly jibe at US President Donald Trump.
“We have a weird twisted President who thinks he’s a gangster and not even a good gangster.”
“Even gangsters like honour among thieves. You shake a hand and you have your word, that’s all you have is your word,” he explained.
“They have your word and that’s it, this guy is not the case.”
“I didn’t even bring him up, ladies and gentleman!” Graham joked as the audience erupted with laughter.
The actor has become known for his frequent outbursts regarding President Trump and has regularly spoken of his hopes that the US president will be impeached.
As the show went on, Piers cheered dup and tweeted his joy of seeing film director Bruce Springsteen on the sofa and applauded the way he conducted himself on the show calling him “brilliant”.
“By contrast to dour, dreary De Niro, @Springstien was a brilliant guest on Graham Norton – funny, charming, uplifted,” he tweeted.
The Graham Norton Show airs on Fridays on BBC One at 10.35pm.
