Man Meat Monday #39

My newest celebrity crush?

Robert De Niro between 1973-1985.

Claim to Fame: Actor (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas)

Birthday: August 17, 1943

There isn't much to say about Mr. De Niro that hasn't been said already. He is the oldest honoree in Man Meat history and is widely recognized as one of the greatest actors in American cinematic history. In the last week, I've watched Raging Bull twice and Taxi Driver four times. Something must be wrong with me because I would take De Niro over Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, or Ryan Gosling anyday.

However, I'm not too surprised by this development. De Niro looks pretty similar to a former Man Meat Monday honoree.

Random Tidbit: De Niro once held the record for most weight gained for a role when he gained 60 pounds to play an older Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull.

Only downfall?: This is the year 2012.

So, readers: It's your turn. Are you talkin' to him?


Man. I have good taste.
