Given his iconic performances over the years in world cinema, the Hollywood icon, Robert De Niro, is regarded as one of the most revered figures in the entertainment industry. With two Academy Awards in his bag, the American actor has established himself as one of the finest actors in the film industry. His son, Elliot De Niro, on the other hand, is taking a totally disparate professional path.

Rather than following in his father’s footsteps into Hollywood, Elliot has entered the tennis realm. However, the sporting community is not even aware that he has been ardently keeping up with his passion, as he was also featured in the Special Olympics. Recently, the avid tennis player was spotted with his father in a rare sighting on the streets of New York City.

While keeping Elliot away from the public eye, the American actor previously revealed that his son was diagnosed with autism during childhood. The Irishman star had him with the American actress, Grace Hightower, who was involved in a two-decade marriage with Robert De Niro. Even though the couple got divorced, they have solely focused on raising their son despite all the challenges.

Elliot has been ardently following the game of tennis, as he was often spotted strutting hard on the court. He previously participated in the Special Olympics, where he also appeared in a promotional video in which he gave an impressive performance.

Now, after a long time, Elliot was spotted with his father in the streets of New York City, as some of the pictures of them were posted by Hollywood Life. The two-time Oscar winner was seen donning a casual look as he was strolling the streets with his son. De Niro wore a black jacket and perfectly paired it with his sweatpants. On top of that, the ‘Goodfellas’ actor was putting on a beanie along with a dark gray scarf in the chilly weather.

Just like De Niro, his tennis player son was also spotted donning a jacket with a pair of jeans and sneakers to perfectly match with his father’s casual looks.
