Another failed attempt at humor from an awards presenter took place last night on Golden globes by Joe Coy, the American comedian and actor who hosted this year’s awards ceremony.

During the show, Coy addressed the 80-year-old Hollywood star from the stage, Robert De Niro (Robert De Niro) declaring himself a fan: “This guy is amazing. He gets better every decade. I don’t know how you do it.”

But then the patron he said excitedly, “Man, I swear to God, your last performance should be the best you’ve ever done.How did you get her pregnant at 80??”, referring to DeNiro’s 45-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, who last April gave birth to the actor’s seventh child.

Chen was sitting next to De Niro and appeared to be laughing.

Although De Niro himself appeared to laugh at the host’s joke, many users on X were disturbed by the comment and defended the iconic actor with posts such as “where is Will Smith when you need him?” (a reference to the infamous slap at the 2022 Oscars) and “so many bad jokes, I changed the channel.” .

Robert De Niro was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie “Killers of the Blooming Moon”.
