Robert De Niro, 2008.iCons project for Elton John AIDS Foundation
When I first asked Robert De Niro to be shot for my Icons Project he said no, in the same week as Al Pacino had also refused. Strangely he then said yes, the same week that Al Pacino said yes. The shoot was done at the Dorchester Hotel in London. He was an hour late coming from Manchester and was further delayed making his way through the Dorchester whilst being besieged by adoring fans. He arrived in an old blazer and captains hat. He sat as close to possible to me, put his arm around me asking me if he can call me Andy, and for me to call him Bob. I could not shoot Robert De Niro and not do some iconic shots, especially from the Godfather. And as expected he breezed through these so we moved on to silly images, which turned out to be my favourite ones and used in the contact sheet.
"Time goes on. So whatever you're going to do, do it. Do it now. Don't wait."
