    Robert De Niro will always "support" his children, even if he disagrees with their choices

    The 81-year-old actor - who has Drena, 57, Raphael, 48, 29-year-old twins Julian and Airyn, Elliot, 27, and Helen Grace, 13, from previous relationships and two-year-old Gia with partner Tiffany Chen - believes the most important thing a parent can do for their kids is to always back their decisions


    He told 'Entertainment Tonight': "The main thing is to support your kids. As long as they're not hurting themselves, doing anything destructive or anything like that, you have to support them - period.

    "Even if you don't go with it-you have to support them. And they have to know that you support them. Always."

    The 'Goodfellas' star hailed his youngest child as "just pure joy".

    He added: "She's two now. It's always wonderful."

    The 'Meet the Fockers' actor previously told of how he "somehow makes it work" when it comes to juggling his career with raising a toddler.

    He told E! News: "Yeah, she's great! She came on the 'Zero Day' set a few times, I shot that last year. You make it work, somehow. Sometimes I have her on the set with my girlfriend. I'm lucky, I have a camper."

    However, Robert admitted he doesn't change the youngster's diapers.

    Asked if he does, he recently told The Sunday Times magazine: "No, no, but I used to!"

    But the veteran actor enjoys spending early mornings with his little girl.

    He said: "I'm an early riser. I spend my mornings watching [YouTuber for toddlers] Ms. Rachel with her, and I give her her bottle."

    Robert "tries his best" to be a good dad and to meet his children' s different needs.

    He said: "Oh God, they would all have a different answer. Family is so complex.

    "I try my best, that's all. I hope they'll be happy."

    The 'Killers of the Flower Moon' star previously revealed that he loves it when his brood is all together and enjoys going on family vacations with them.

    He told People: "The fact that they'd all be together is everything to me."

    Asked what his favourite thing to do with his children is, he replied: "Just being together, taking trips to warm places."
