The actor lost his 19-year-old grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, to an accidental overdose last summer.
Robert De Niro is still mourning the death of his grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez.
The actor shared as much in an interview with People published Wednesday and said he was in “disbelief” when he heard the “awful” news.
Rodriguez died from an accidental overdose in New York City last summer at the age of 19. He was the son of Drena De Niro, Robert De Niro’s adopted daughter.
“It’s just a shock,” Robert De Niro said. “[I] never thought it would happen.”
“And I just then started thinking about all the things I could have, should have done maybe with him,” he continued. “I don’t know if that would’ve made a difference. And so that’s always playing through my mind. It shouldn’t have happened.”
