Robert De Niro Crashes NFL Tailgate Ahead of Eagles Game to Lobby for Kamala Harris: ‘Eagles Tailgate Silver Lining’

Robert De Niro was spotted in an unlikely place!

On Sunday, Nov. 3, the actor, 81, crashed the tailgate ahead of the Eagles-Jaguars game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to lobby for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. 

NFL shared two photos of De Niro’s surprise appearance at the stadium on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Robert De Niro showed up at an @Eagles tailgate.”

In the snaps, De Niro can be seen standing among football fans decked out in green and black attire to show their support for their team. Meanwhile, the actor is wearing a black coat over a gray shirt and holding a stack of white papers. 

This is not the first time De Niro has showed his support for Harris, 60. In September, he participated in a livestream with fellow actor Steve Buscemi to voice their support and help raise funds.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, De Niro said he was “optimistic” that Harris and running mate Tim Walz will win the election, but encouraged people to not get complacent.

“I’m very excited, but to me, it ain’t over till it’s over. So we can’t for one second think that we’re ahead of this thing,” De Niro said.

“We just have to be on it all the time until the very end because they’re going to try everything when the election day comes,” he continued. “When will these things be final? What will they question? What will they play games about? We know it’s coming, we see it coming. We have to just be ever vigilant, and it’s not over till it’s over.”
