Iconic actor Robert De Niro will appear in an ad campaign for Uber UK, but it won’t be based on his memorable role as a taxi driver. writes about this Hollywood reporter.
Previously, British tabloid The Sun reported that the Oscar-winning actor would take Travis Bickle, one of his most memorable roles, into the commercial realm. In the ad, the actor allegedly says the famous line: “Are you talking to me?”
Stan Rosenfield, the actor’s representative, said De Niro’s “Uber commercial has nothing to do with his Taxi Driver character.”
The ad is currently filming in London and is scheduled to be released later this year.
News that De Niro might reprise his role as a taxi driver in an Uber commercial caught the attention of the film’s screenwriter, who reacted critically to it on Facebook (the owner of the Meta company is considered extremist in Russia and has been banned).
“Oops,” Schroeder wrote in his message. “I don’t understand why Bob did this.” But I have not seen. If I’m lucky I’ll never see it.”
Taxi Driver won the Palme d’Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival and received four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.
Martin Scorsese’s psychological thriller about a taxi driver and his deteriorating mental state also stars Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris and Albert Brooks.
In recent years, Uber has used Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Coolidge, Trevor Noah, Sarah Silverman and Nicholas Braun to advertise.
