Who needs a Taxi Driver! Energetic septuagenarian Robert De Niro walks hand-in-hand with daughter Helen, 5, during shopping trip in New York

With his bulging wallet he could easily afford a Taxi Driver.

But energetic septuagenarian Robert De Niro looked like he was having a great time as he stretched his legs with his five-year-old daughter Helen in New York on Thursday.

The Dirty Grandpa star seemed to be relishing every moment of his grand day out as he went shopping with the youngster, if his cheerful demeanour is any guide.

Bobby, 74, was looking fit for his age in a blue polo shirt, cargo shorts, casual shoes and a casual jacket.

His adorable mini-me, who was born via surrogate in 2011, certainly looked like a chip off the old block as she plodded along in her school uniform.

Goodfellas star Bob called President Donald Trump a 'lowlife' and refused to let him sit on the bench dedicated to him at the Annual Hudson River Park Gala last week

The silver-tongued star said: ''F*** you Donald Trump. It's a horror with this mother****er.'

When honored with his bench in the park, the limousine liberal added: 'One of my pleasures will be keeping people off my bench who don't deserve a view of the park like Donald Trump.'

The Oscar winner claimed he had not spoken to long-time friend Harvey Weinstein following the explosion of sex scandals and allegations against him.

However it has effected him personally, after it emerged Amazon dropped a dramatic series The Weinstein Company was producing, and which he was to star in.

The scrapped series was also supposed to star and Julianne Moore, with Academy Award-nominated director David O. Russell at the helm.

Bob, Julianne and David issued a statement on Friday saying, 'We support Amazon’s decision as in light of recent news and out of respect for all those affected we have decided together that it is best to not move forward with this show.'

The internet giant last year plunked down $160 million for two seasons of the series in a deal brokered by Weinstein and Roy Price, and had spent $40 million on pre-production.

Amazon Studios head Price was suspended indefinitely amid accusations he propositioned Isa Hackett, a female producer working on The Man in the High Castle.
