Robert De Niro has reportedly hurt himself while making his latest movie.
The Hollywood legend, 77, is on location in Oklahoma, where he is filming Killers of the Flower Moon.
According to US media, De Niro "injured his leg" and flew across the country on Thursday evening to see a doctor near his home in New York today.
It is thought this flight may have been pre-planned, though, before De Niro suffered an injury. A source told TMZ that the Oscar-winning actor was due to have two weeks away from filming, and his trip to NYC was a scheduled one.
However, members of the production team said that they were taking a break on Friday as a result of the accident.
Killers of the Flower Moon stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Gladstone and is being directed by Martin Scorsese, De Niro’s long-time collaborator.
The film is the ninth time that the pair have worked together, the most recent being last year's Oscar-nominated The Irishman.
Killers of the Flower Moon has a production budget of more than $30 million and is based on the true story of a Western cattle rancher and extortionist during the 1920s. Bill Hale, played by De Niro, was so desperate to control the oil rights on his stolen land, that he became the mastermind behind the deaths of his nephew’s wife, mother-in-law and other members of the family.
Eventually, Hale’s campaign of blackmail and murder was investigated by the FBI. In a letter to J Edgar Hoover, the special agent in charge of the case said: “Hale became a millionaire, who dominated local politics and seemingly could not be punished for any of the many crimes which were laid at his door.”
