Esther Goris Recounts Missed Coffee Invite From Robert De Niro on MasterChef Celebrity

Her on-air account on Telefe’s MasterChef Celebrity is presented as a personal recollection without independent confirmation.

Overview

  • During Friday’s repechage episode, host Wanda Nara prompted Goris to revisit a decades-old encounter she described as a near date with De Niro.
  • Goris said she was about 23 and spent an entire night talking with the actor despite not speaking English, with champagne fueling the exchange.
  • She recounted that Lito Cruz relayed, “Bob wants to have coffee with you,” which she declined after misreading a suggestive gesture.
  • Goris later said she was unsure whether the gesture originated with De Niro and added that she regrets turning down the invitation.
  • Argentine outlets La Gaceta, La Voz del Interior, and Los Andes reported the segment as her anecdote, with no corroboration or response from De Niro’s side.
