Picture it - Cannes, 1997ish.
A young Bart is at the bar at the Hotel Majestic.
The older guy beside me starts talking to me.
He says he has been stuck in the hotel all day and is going stir crazy.
He asks if I know any good pizza restaurants.
I said I do.
He asks if I had a car.
I said I do.
He looks at me and says, "You wanna go have pizza with me?"
I knew I could beat his old ass if he tried anything so I said yes.
I was hungry.
As we get up he stops and says, "By the way, my name is Bobby"
Then it hit me.
This was Robert De Niro.
I was going on a straight date with Robert De Niro.
This is how I ended up on the editing room floor of a movie called Ronin (I may be in a DVD deleted scene, never checked)
What made this one of the best days?
Free pizza.
