Speaking in an interview with the Sunday Times, Robert De Niro said that he regularly gives directors tips using his experience in the movie industry.

”When you’re directing, you think of everything … The few times I’ve directed, if someone comes up with something you missed, you’re glad to hear that,” the actor said.

De Niro offered his help to Luc Besson, who directed his latest movie, The Family, with certain scenes. He explained: ”I did it with Luc. In a New York scene, the way the set was set up, it wasn’t the way it was in New York and I said, ‘Do this, do that, pull it that way.’ ”
