Today is a Birthday of Robert De Niro, Hollywood icon, Oscar winner and one of my favorite actors 🖤 I was lucky to meet Robert in 2018 in NY at @RalphLauren 50th anniversary which I was invited to. To be honest, the guests list was one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen: Oprah Winfrey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Kanye, Pierce Brosnan and more
Can you imagine I could miss it? I had a project in Moscow at the same time and was close to rejecting the invite but the brand made up for the flight and offered me first raw place, I couldn’t refuse! I appreciate a lot how Ralph Lauren treats their friends — this says a lot about the fashion house and its identity. They event was amazing😍
Of course, I was a bit confused in the beginning, it felt like trapping to Oscar ceremony by mistake. But the main rule is never behaving like a fan (even if you meet your favs). I saw Robert standing alone, came to him, introduced myself, we had a small talk. He was very nice and we took a selfie together😉
Would you be brave enough to ask celebrity for a picture? Have your ever done this?
