Robert De Niro has finally responded to Meryl Streep’s claims about his skills at charades. The two actors have been friends for much of their careers and deeply admire each other. They have also worked together on multiple films, including Falling in Love and Marvin’s Room.

However, the Sophie’s Choice actress previously claimed that she would not want De Niro on her team during game nights. Streep pointed out that the actor is terrible at charades. Months after Streep’s comments, De Niro has finally addressed her claims.

Turns out Robert De Niro may not have been great at charades. The actor recently stopped by the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, where he was asked about Meryl Streep’s claims. De Niro agreed with her and further revealed the reason behind his struggles with the game.

"I probably am not," he said.

He further added, "I think we did it somewhere and I was not inspired, and that's my fault."

However, when the host during the podcast suggested that he could try harder, De Niro promised to put in more effort next time. This comes after Streep claimed that she and her Devil Wears Prada costar Stanley Tucci have often played charades together, while De Niro is terrible at it, during an interview on the Today Show with Jenna Bush Hager. The actress added that she would not want De Niro on her team during game nights.

The comments came during the promotional activities for their film The Devil Wears Prada 2. And Tucci, who was also present for the interview, seemingly agreed with Streep. Now, while Streep and De Niro may not have been great when it comes to charades, the two have been each other’s biggest supporters. Streep once even admitted that De Niro was one of the biggest inspirations in her career.

Perhaps De Niro could try to hone his charades skills. Now, the actor also seemed to have regrets about not continuing another special skill he once learned.

During his appearance on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, Robert De Niro revealed that he learned the finger placements needed to play the saxophone for his film New York, New York. However, he did not continue practicing the instrument after filming wrapped. Looking back, the actor admitted that he regrets not spending more time developing the skill.

"I just wish I made it something that I would practice even half an hour every day to keep,” he said. 

De Niro played the role of talented jazz saxophonist Jimmy Doyle in the Martin Scorsese film. While he was quite convincing playing the saxophone, the actor could not continue honing the skill. While it is unlikely that De Niro will return to the saxophone, he might prefer to put his effort into getting better at charades.
