9 Stars You Never Knew Were Irish


5. Robert De Niro

With his Italian surname and a filmography that includes iconic Italian roles such as Vito Corleone (The Godfather, Part II), Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull) and John Civello (Mean Streets), you might think that De Niro is all Italian. However, he actually has more Irish than Italian blood in his veins. Three of his four grandparents were Irish. His mother was of Irish, Dutch, English, French and German ancestry while his father was half Italian and half Irish.
