Robert De Niro | The Godfather

The name Robert De Niro commands a certain level of respect. The 77-year-old actor has been in Hollywood for almost six decades and is well known for his collaborations with equally famed Martin Scorcese. One of his most remarkable films is The Godfather. He could quickly come up with an angry face, and so it would be a bad idea to cross him.

Given his age, there are not many sequences that the actor could do. So he is thankful for his double, Rick Avery, who did many of the moves in The War with Grandpa, a 2020 film. The younger Avery has to wear an exact replica of De Niro’s clothes and accessories, which is expected of a double. He also makes sure that everything is in order and would also confer with De Niro prior to rolling the camera. We credit him for being such a professional double.
