When Robert De Niro celebrated his 81st birthday this year, the legendary actor wasn’t about to let age slow him down. Instead, he marked the occasion with a daring leap from a yacht into the sea, a testament to his enduring spirit and zest for life. The footage, shared on Instagram by his daughter Drena De Niro, captures a lively De Niro diving 36 feet into the blue water, with his daughter expressing both amazement and concern in the background.

“Woah, he’s so crazy,” Drena exclaims as her father makes the jump. “Oh my god, are you alright?” she follows up, her concern evident. To which De Niro responds nonchalantly, “Yeah, I’m okay,” while swimming confidently.

This spirited celebration was part of Drena’s heartfelt tribute to her father, marking his milestone birthday.

The Instagram post not only features the exhilarating dive but also includes poignant photos of De Niro with his late grandson, Leandro. The young man, who tragically passed away last year from an accidental overdose, is remembered in Drena’s touching caption: “Happy 81st Bday to my Dad and #1 ride or die .. Love you with all my ♥️♥️♥️ #BobbyD forever ✨👑✨.”

The De Niro family’s joy and sorrow have been deeply intertwined, especially with the recent loss of Leandro, which shook the family profoundly.
