Robert De Niro says Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is not unlike the main character of the revered 1976 movie Taxi Driver.
De Niro played the disturbed Travis Bickle in the film, which was being screened at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
When the moderator of a Q and A with De Niro asked the screen legend to elaborate on the character's mental illness, Donald Trump was first thing to have crossed the actor's mind.
De Niro says, "One of the things to me was just the irony at the end [of the film], he is back driving a cab, celebrated, which is kind of relevant in some way today too,"
He elaborated, comparing the character to "People like Donald Trump who shouldn't be where he is..."
