The guy had it coming. De Niro made the mistake of describing his boat with an “it’s pretty big.” Unable to resist the catnip, Fallon launched into his De Niro impression, which the legendary actor acknowledged with a generous laugh as he has [many times](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFhhPDcPNvI) before. Smoothie that he is, Fallon transitioned by suggesting they take a boat trip together. “We might do that one day, we’ll see,” De Niro said like a guy appeasing another guy. Fallon has treated De Niro to his impression [before](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVvNvuVXAnE). This one time, he impersonated the _Hands of Stone_ actor laughing in _Cape Fear_, and then De Niro returned the favor to Fallon with some incomprehensible nervous mumbling. Watch the class act and the adorably starstruck host above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4462648/robert-de-niro-jimmy-fallon-impression/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4462648/robert-de-niro-jimmy-fallon-impression/"},"headline":"Watch Robert De Niro Sit Through Jimmy Fallon's Robert De Niro Impression","datePublished":"2016-08-23T15:07:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:45.010Z","description":"King of laughing at impressions of himself","url":"https://time.com/4462648/robert-de-niro-jimmy-fallon-impression/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Internet","movies","jimmy fallon","Theater"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4462648/robert-de-niro-jimmy-fallon-impression/","name":"Watch Robert De Niro Sit Through Jimmy Fallon's Robert De Niro Impression"}}]}] ```
