Robert De Niro has injured his leg while filming his latest movie.
The 77-year-old hurt his limb on the Oklahoma set of the upcoming Martin Scorsese film “Killers of the Flower Moon," according to TMZ.
Following the incident, De Niro flew to his New York City home and is expected to see a doctor on Friday, the outlet noted. The extent of the injury, or how it occurred, have not been revealed.
De Niro is working on the project with Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Killers of the Flower Moon" is a Western crime drama set in the 1920s and is based on the nonfiction book of the same name by author David Grann.
Earlier this week, the first images of the film were released and included pics of DiCaprio and co-star Lily Gladstone.
The photos show DiCaprio and Gladstone as Ernest and Mollie Burkhart, a white man and an Osage woman who fall in love during the early 20th century while living in Oklahoma. In the first snaps, DiCaprio’s character looks like an ordinary young man, seated next to Gladstone in a dining room.
Filming on the feature began in April after being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
