Robert De Niro was pictured working on a mystery project in his native New York City on Tuesday.
The two-time Academy Award winner, 80, was dressed in a navy blue blazer over a blue plaid button-up shirt and a navy blue tie with diagonal stripes as he carried files in his hand.
De Niro, who welcomed daughter Gia Virginia last year with his girlfriend, martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen, 45, completed his ensemble with khaki pants and black-rimmed glasses.
It was not immediately clear what specifically De Niro was doing his iMDb page lists six current projects he is working on, in various stages of production.
This includes the films Tin Soldier, Alto Knights and After Exile, the TV projects Zero Day and Mr. Natural, and an untitled project.

De Niro was nominated for Best Supporting Actor last month for his role as William Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon, but lost the honor to Robert Downey Jr.
De Niro has won Oscars in the past for his work in 1974’s The Godfather Part II and 1980’s Raging Bull, and has also been nominated for his work in The Irishman, Silver Linings Playbook, Cape Fear, Awakenings, The Deer Hunter and Taxi Driver .
His other notable non-nominated performances in cinema include Goodfellas, The King of Comedy, The Untouchables and A Bronx Tale.
The actor has traditionally been outspoken on political issues close to his heart, and has spoken out in recent years about presumptive Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump.
Last month, De Niro appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher and said the 2024 presidential election has potentially extreme results for voters.
“We want to live in a world that we want to live in and enjoy living in, or are we living in a nightmare?” said De Niro. ‘Vote for Trump and you will have the nightmare, vote for Biden and we will be back to normal.
“I just don’t want to feel like I did for many months after the 2016 election when we couldn’t believe it was happening.”
De Niro condemned Trump as a “total monster” and “a mean, nasty, hateful person.”

He said he doesn’t understand how the controversial TV personality turned politician remains loyal to his base.
“I don’t understand it, I think they’re behind that kind of logic, that they want to fuck people, screw them because they’re not happy with something,” he said.
And despite recapping the roles of questionable fictional characters like Travis Bickle and Max Cady, as well as the late fraud kingpin Bernie Madoff, De Niro said he would “never” be tasked with playing Trump as he “can.” I don’t see any good in him at all.
De Niro added: “Nothing, nothing at all, nothing redeemable.”
De Niro added of President Joe Biden: “The bottom line is Biden is our guy. He represents what this country was meant to be.”
In the chat with Maher, the iconic actor said he doesn’t mind having a busy schedule at 80.
“I’m very busy, I enjoy it, I don’t mind it,” De Niro said. ‘I keep going because I know if you don’t keep going, you’re going to atrophy and dry up, and I don’t want to do that. So I try to keep as busy as possible.’
