‘Alto Knights’ star Robert De Niro admits he can’t keep up with young daughter’s slang


Robert De Niro’s daughter poked fun at the actor for struggling to keep up with teen slang.

The “Taxi Driver” actor, 81, recently admitted his daughter asked him to read a list of Generation Z lingo. 

“My daughter made me read a whole list of expressions so she can show her friends and have fun laughing at me,” De Niro explained on “The Drew Barrymore Show” Tuesday.

He noted he agreed to participate on the condition they keep the interaction to themselves. 

“I did it, yeah … just don’t send it around. Read it … show it to them, but don’t send it everywhere,” he said.

Although De Niro didn’t mention which words were on the list, he shared that he didn’t learn any new slang.

“No, I didn’t want to. I said, ‘These are the words you guys say these days, fine.’”

Barrymore chimed in with her own experience, sharing a conversation she had with her kids. 

“I said ‘fire’ the other day, and they said, ‘That’s dead.’ … ‘On fleek?’ They were like, ‘Oh God.’”
