Robert De Niro admits he's out of touch with young daughter's Gen Z slang

The "Taxi Driver" actor, 81, recently admitted his daughter asked him to read a list of Generation Z lingo. 

"My daughter made me read a whole list of expressions so she can show her friends and have fun laughing at me," De Niro explained on "The Drew Barrymore Show" Tuesday.

He noted he agreed to participate on the condition they keep the interaction to themselves. 

Although De Niro didn't mention which words were on the list, he shared that he didn't learn any new slang.

"No, I didn't want to. I said, 'These are the words you guys say these days, fine.'"

Barrymore chimed in with her own experience, sharing a conversation she had with her kids. 

In 2023, De Niro welcomed his seventh child, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, with girlfriend Tiffany Chen. 

"When you're older, you have awareness of certain things in life, dynamics. Everything, family dynamics. You can't avoid learning certain things and then how you can deal with those, manage them and this and that," he told "Today."
