Robert De Niro left in 'excruciating' pain after leg injury
Robert De Niro was left in "excruciating" pain after tearing his quad muscle earlier this month. The 77-year-old actor had to fly home to New York from Oklahoma, where he had been shooting Martin Scorsese's new thriller Killers of the Flower Moon, after suffering the injury off set. And speaking to IndieWire about the accident, the screen veteran explained that it happened in a split second as he "stepped over" something.
