Robert De Niro Brings Gia to Meet The Wiggles!
DE NIRO'S WIGGLE-WORTHY ENCOUNTER: HOLLYWOOD LEGEND MEETS AUSSIE ICONS
In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood A-lister Robert De Niro dropped by The Wiggles' show in New York over the weekend, leaving fans in a frenzy! The iconic Australian children's group took to Instagram to share a backstage clip of their unforgettable meeting with the legendary actor.
As The Wiggles got ready to wow throngs of adoring fans, De Niro made a surprise appearance, beaming with excitement as he met members Greg Page, Tsehay Hawkins, Simon Pryce, and the Dancing Tree Of Wisdom. But little did anyone know that this wasn't just any ordinary meet-and-greet – it was all about impressing De Niro's youngest daughter Gia, two!
The family, including De Niro's girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 45, were treated to an impromptu pre-show performance by The Wiggles, singing their hit song Rock-A-Bye Your Bear as De Niro watched on with a broad grin. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more special, the Hollywood legend gave Greg Page a hearty hug after the performance – talk about a starstruck moment!
The clips sent Wiggles fans into a tizzy, with many commenting on how humble De Niro appeared throughout the encounter. "I love that he reaches out to hug them all," one fan gushed, while another replied, "And he shook everyone's hands! Seems like a genuinely nice man."
But what really got our attention was De Niro's unbridled enthusiasm as he watched The Wiggles perform. As Tsehay Hawkins shared the short clip on Instagram, she added a dash of drama by augmenting it with the iconic Godfather theme music – because, why not?!
THE GODFATHER OF FUN
As fans took to social media to share their excitement and admiration for De Niro's down-to-earth demeanor, many noted that he looked absolutely delighted. "Never seen Robert smile that much on anything," one commenter quipped.
But this isn't the first time we've caught a glimpse of De Niro's softer side. Back in February, he opened up to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show about his love for children's TV – specifically The Wiggles and Ms Rachel! "I just wanna keep up," he confessed, "but I watch current events if you will news stuff like that. Now I watch with my little girl..."

In a rare interview, De Niro dished about his parenting style, revealing what he thought was the most important rule of raising kids. "As long as they're not hurting themselves, doing anything destructive or anything like that, you have to support them – period." Ah, wisdom from a Hollywood legend!
THE SCHOLARLY NOTE EXCLUSIVE: DE NIRO'S FAMILY LIFE
As one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, De Niro has seven children with his various partners. But it's clear that Gia holds a special place in her dad's heart. And who can blame him? She's the youngest and undoubtedly gets all the attention (and Wiggles performances!)
