The actor did not specify where he plans to move, but he hinted at seeking a place where he can find the peace and respect he feels are lacking in the U.S. “I’m not sure where I’ll go yet, but I need to be somewhere where respect still means something, where people still value truth and kindness,” he added.

De Niro’s decision has sparked a wide range of reactions. Many of his fans have expressed sadness and support, understanding his reasons but lamenting the potential loss of one of America’s most cherished cultural icons. “It’s heartbreaking to see someone like De Niro feel so disillusioned with his own country,” one fan commented on social media. “He’s given so much to American cinema, and it’s a shame that he feels he has to leave.”
