Robert De Niro's Viral Video Misrepresented as Confrontation with Pro-Palestine Protesters

Actor Robert De Niro was rehearsing for a Netflix series, not confronting protesters as widely mischaracterized on social media.

A viral video claimed to show Robert De Niro confronting pro-Palestine protesters, but it was actually a scene from the Netflix series 'Zero Day'.
The video was filmed during a rehearsal on April 27 in New York City, featuring De Niro and co-star Jesse Plemons.
Misrepresentations of the video circulated on social media, falsely suggesting De Niro was taking a stance in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Several news outlets initially reported the confrontation story, but corrections and retractions have been issued.
De Niro's publicist and Netflix confirmed the scene was scripted and unrelated to any real-world protests.
