The Greatest Actor of our generation? I think not!

LOCATION: Avoiding doing the day job , London

YEAR: 2008

TAGS: Wooden, One Dimensional, Overrated

PUBLISHED: March 19, 2008

Cool catchy pop song, and I heard a rumour that it was inspired by the fact that De Niro turned up at a hotel and tried to 'pull' one of the girls. I don't know which one, but they were all pretty hot!

I confess I don't quite get all the fuss about him as an actor either. He's not bad, but putting lots of weight for a role, or learning how to drive a Manhattan cab, doesn't make you a great actor.

To me he always plays the same character in whatever film he does, which is essentially this:

1. "Don't Fuck With Me" Father (Meet the Parents)
2. "Don't Fuck With Me" Naval Man (Men of Honour)
3. "Don't Fuck with Me" Upmarket Robber (Ronin) 
4. "Don't Fuck With Me" Not Quite So Upmarket Robber (Heat)
5. "Don't Fuck With Me" Mafia Guy (Casino)
6. "Don't Fuck With Me" Mafia Guy (Goodfellas)
7. "Don't Fuck With Me" Mafia Guy (The Godfather - Part Two)
8. "Don't Fuck With Me, or my wife, I put on 50 lbs you know," Boxer (Raging Bull)
9. "Don't Fuck With Me" Monster (Frankenstein)
10. "Don't Fuck With Me" Psycho (Cape Fear)

Point made?

Ah, I've not seen Stardust, but I imagine he's much the same. Actually, I've not forgiven him for stumping up the cash for 'We Will Rock You' the musical. That's undone a lot of good acting karma... (3/20/2008)
