Robert De Niro has given a rare insight into parenting his 20-month-old daughter Gia.

The 81-year-old actor, who welcomed his youngest child with martial artist partner Tiffany Chen, admitted he is now a fan of children’s television as he no longer has time to watch films.

“I don’t watch as many movies as I should,” he told BBC Radio 2 presenter Scott Mills on Thursday (20 February).

He continued: “I just want to keep up, but I watch current events if you will news stuff like that. Now I watch with my little girl, The Wiggles and Ms Rachel.”
