While a Malaysian corruption scandal rocks Hollywood, the latest A-lister to allegedly be touched by the mess, Robert De Niro, says, “I don’t give a s - - t.”

The scandal surrounds investment fund 1MDB, alleged to have laundered $1 billion while also helping to finance Leo DiCaprio’s film “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

The Wall Street Journal (paywall) reported that “investigators believe more than $1 billion entered Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s personal bank accounts, much of it from . . . 1MDB.”

The Hollywood Reporter revealed Wednesday that in 2010 De Niro visited Razak and his wife, and also said that another fund which allegedly used 1MDB money may have made a donation to De Niro’s Tribeca Film Institute. The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation has also allegedly received several such donations, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

But De Niro indicated to THR that any donation made with corrupt money would be returned, and said of 1MDB: “I don’t care whether my name is associated with it. I didn’t do anything . . . I’m aware of it, but I don’t give a s - - t. When I have to tell something to somebody, I’ll answer to them, and that will be it.
