In a video from his daughter Drena De Niro’s Instagram post celebrating the actor’s 81st birthday, Robert De Niro jumped off a yacht.

The post, shared on Saturday, began with a photo of the Raging Bull star jumping into the water in an orange and white swimsuit.

The next slide was a video of De Niro landing in the blue sea after jumping from the yacht.

“Wow, he is so crazy,” 56-year-old Drena was heard saying.

Then she asked her famous father, “Oh my God, are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine,” De Niro replied while swimming.

Drena then learned from someone that De Niro had jumped 11 meters from the ship into the water.

“Wow,” she said in response.

Drena’s Instagram tribute to her father also included photos of De Niro with Drena’s late son Leandro, who died last July at age 19 of an accidental overdose after taking pills laced with fentanyl.

“Happy 81st birthday my daddy and #1 ride or die… Love you with all my heart ♥️♥️♥️ #BobbyD forever ✨👑✨,” Drena wrote in her caption.

De Niro has Drena with his ex-wife Diahnne Abbott. The former couple also have a son, Raphael, 47.

The “Meet the Bride, Her Father and Me” actor has five other children: twins Julian and Aaron, 28, son Elliot, 26, and daughters Helen Grace, 12, and Gia, who was born in April 2023.

Last year, De Niro’s family suffered tragedy when Leandro accidentally overdosed.

De Niro made a statement to Page Six after learning the news of his grandson’s death.

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my beloved grandson Leo,” he said at the time. “We are very grateful for everyone’s expressions of condolence. We ask that we be allowed to grieve in peace over the loss of Leo.”

Drena announced her son’s death in an emotional Instagram tribute to her “beautiful, sweet angel.”

“I have loved you beyond words and descriptions since I felt you in my belly,” the actress and filmmaker wrote under a throwback photo. “You were my joy, my heart and everything that was ever pure and real in my life.”

De Niro spoke about the tragedy in an interview with People earlier this year, saying Leandro’s death was a “shock.”

“I never thought it would happen. And then I started thinking about all the things I maybe could have done with him, should have done,” said the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star.

“I don’t know if it would have made a difference. And that’s always on my mind. It shouldn’t have happened,” he added.
