The audience cheered loudly at De Niro's comment, according to the newspaper.

De Niro is a frequent critic of Trump. Last month, he called the president a "total loser" and a "wannabe gangster" while appearing on "The Late Show."

He also repeatedly said “f--- Trump” onstage at the Tony Awards last year, prompting a standing ovation from the audience.
