If there ends up being a movie made about the coronavirus pandemic,
Robert De Niro wants to portray New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
In an appearance on “The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert,” De Niro expressed his reverence for Cuomo and offered to take on the role in a hypothetical film about the current global health crisis.
“I guess I’ll play Cuomo,” De Niro suggested. “He’s doing what a President should do.”
Later in the segment, De Niro referred to President Donald Trump as “the idiot” and said he will support the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden for the upcoming 2020 election.
