Did De niro have anything to do with the script?


We all know he loves black women and this seems like something he might have come up with.

It's written by Chazz Palminteri (Sonny) who Cologero is actually based on, so I'm guessing no lol.

reply

He might have had some part of it. Palminteri did date a afro-american girl in his youth, but several episodes of his life is compressed into a single narrative. http://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/truth-behind-some-bronx-tale-scenes
I haven't seen or read the script of the original play. If she is in there you have an answer to your question.

Oh, we know this? I had no idea...

Now that you mention it, I remember him dating Angela Bassett in The Score, but other than that, it's the first time I hear something like that.

Why do you say it's a known fact?

reply

Lol it is a known fact that De Niro dates black women pretty much exclusively. He has two kids with his ex who is black and he has been married to amother black woman now for years.

It's fair to say he has a thing for black women I think.

De Niro directed the film.

reply

Well he directed it so there’s a very good chance he did.

No, he was just the bus driver in this movie
