The famous actor Robert De Niro paid an official visit to Moscow yesterday. Only this time, the star was not presenting a new film. Robert took part in the opening ceremony of a new restaurant of the famous Nobu chain. And in an interview with reporters, he noted that he would not mind getting a Russian passport.

Recently, several world famous persons have expressed a desire to obtain a Russian passport. And it is not surprising that journalists immediately asked De Niro, the star of The Godfather, would he like to follow the example of Gerard Depardieu?

As a reminder, De Niro opened the first Nobu restaurant in Moscow in 2009. Nobu now has 22 restaurants in 18 cities around the world with daily revenues of $ 1 million. Crocus Group is a partner of the Moscow Nobu. According to restaurant critics, the opening of a new restaurant could have done without the presence of De Niro, since Nobu is a strong brand in itself, without being tied to the name of its famous co-owner.

“Perhaps I would like to obtain Russian citizenship. As you can imagine, this is a difficult situation, so we will see until we can predict,”said De Niro. The actor also advised Russian youth to "do the right thing and make the world a better place." “We must all unite to end the disputes. We need to work together,”he said.

Recall that at the end of October, the American boxer Roy Jones received a Russian passport. On November 5, it became known that the possibility of obtaining Russian citizenship is considering the former absolute world heavyweight boxing champion Briton Lennox Lewis.
