According to a report by People magazine, Leonardo DiCaprio was also present at the birthday party, which took place at De Niro’s captivating Tribeca restaurant, Locanda Verde. De Niro and DiCaprio will share the screen in their upcoming film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” directed by Martin Scorsese.

Prior to the grand celebration, De Niro’s daughter, Drena, 51, took to her Instagram story to express birthday wishes for her father. She reposted a message from Debi Mazar, exclaiming “Happy 80 you know who!”

At 79 years old, De Niro embraced fatherhood once again in April when he and Tiffany Chen welcomed their baby girl, Gia Virginia. This delightful addition marks De Niro’s seventh child.

Although De Niro’s birthday extravaganza in NYC attracted noteworthy attention, most actors have chosen to stand in solidarity with the ongoing strike by joining picket lines. Iconic figures like Mandy Moore, Mark Ruffalo, and Jason Sudeikis have been spotted carrying signs in support.

The actors’ union leaders voted to initiate the strike on July 13, resulting in a joint strike with the writers of the entertainment industry for the first time in sixty years.
