'Depressed' De Niro backs anti-Trump protests

LOS ANGELES, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Nov, 2016 ) - Robert De Niro gave anti-Donald Trump protesters across the United States his backing Friday as he spoke about how "depressed" the tycoon's win in the presidential election had made him.

The 73-year-old star was on the red carpet at the world premiere of his new film "The Comedian" in Los Angeles when he was asked how he was coping with Trump's victory over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

"How am I doing? I'm very depressed," the famously laconic "Raging Bull" actor told reporters. "We have to just wait and see how things go and keep our eyes ever vigilant on the new government."
