The Wiggles bring joy to Hollywood legend Robert De Niro

Robert De Niro and his family reunited with the beloved Aussie group backstage at their sold-out Brooklyn show, two decades after the Hollywood legend first met the original cast.

Everybody loves The Wiggles – and Hollywood royalty is no exception.

Acting legend Robert De Niro enjoyed a special backstage visit with the beloved Aussie group at the weekend, attending their sold-out Bouncing Balls show at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre with his family.

It was a full-circle moment for the 81-year-old star, who first met the original Wiggles more than 20 years ago.

This time, he reunited with original Blue Wiggle Anthony Field who introduced him to the next generation, including his daughter and fellow Wiggle Lucia.

De Niro then enjoyed the main show with his daughter Gia.

In recent interviews, the Zero Day actor admitted he doesn’t watch as many movies as he used to because he’s too busy watching TV with his daughter.
