No, I didn't give them any advice.

But I did make them feel more comfortable.

I think they were both very nervous.

You know, Robert De Niro, very nervous when there's a moment where I have to, you know, pull down his fly.

And in fact, they got my sister, who was 21.

And I guess she looks a little bit like me, but she's the same size as me.

And they had to bring her on in order to actually physically do the shot where she has to unzip his fly.

And he was just so nervous.

They were both so nervous that they kept giggling when we were doing the rehearsals.

And then De Niro would be like, no, I got this.

I got this.

And then he would start talking to me and say, well, you know, maybe you can put your arm around my shoulder.

And then he would start laughing.

And I made them feel comfortable and go like, look, here, how about this?

How about I put my hand here?

You put your hand there.

We do this like this.
