We should, thus, celebrate the news that the good people at the Cannes Film Festival have hired him to head the jury at this year's event.

"The Cannes film festival is a rare opportunity for me," De Niro said. "It is one of the oldest and one of the best in the world." Tell us something we don't know, Bob.
