Inside Whoopi Goldberg and Robert De Niro’s Decades-Long Friendship: ‘They Admire Each Other’


Whoopi Goldberg and Robert De Niro's Hollywood friendship has lasted for decades, and an insider exclusively tells Closer how the stars have bonded.

“Sure, Whoopi knows everybody in show business, including billionaire moguls and tons of A-list actors, but in terms of people who have truly won her respect, that list is short and De Niro is at the absolute top of it.” “When De Niro was trying to relaunch the movie industry in New York after the pandemic, Whoopi was right there on the front lines supporting him when a lot of stars were still afraid to leave the house,” the source says. Robert recently appeared on Whoopi’s talk show, The View, where he discussed his life, career and relationship with Tiffany Chen while promoting his new movie, The Alto Knights.
