Chelsea Handler has once again captured headlines with her characteristic candor. During her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she shared the stage with Robert De Niro, the American comedian made a blunt revelation about her sexual attraction to the Hollywood legend. This admission left both the audience and the show’s host visibly astonished.
Handler expressed, “I am sexually attracted to Robert De Niro. It has always been that way.” Quickly adding, “I’m not going to pretend otherwise. I would like him to penetrate me,” she candidly stated, catching Fallon off-guard and prompting a swift change of subject.
Earlier, Handler shared that she had restrained herself from approaching De Niro backstage due to the presence of his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. She highlighted her intention, stating, “I couldn’t approach him because his girlfriend is there, and I don’t want her to think I’m trying to make a move, even though I want to.”
Handler went on to share her preference for dating older men, humorously noting that she might have to stop at some point because her dates could become “too old.”
This isn’t the first time Handler has made bold statements about public figures. In June, she released a video on X, where she mentioned De Niro and Al Pacino, criticizing the “epidemic” of “lecherous old men continuously spreading their seed,” referring to the children they’ve fathered at an advanced age. In the video, she also mentioned Elon Musk and Alec Baldwin, offering herself humorously for auction to available octogenarians, suggesting they could find her on eBay or DoorDash, with a 20% discount available with the code ‘sugart-ts’.
Another provocative remark came in February 2023, when Handler expressed her attraction towards Republican Senator Mitt Romney during a segment on The Daily Show, disregarding his political affiliation and religion.
It’s speculated by the New York Post, that perhaps De Niro’s interview with Fallon had been pre-recorded which might explain why Fallon couldn’t inquire about Handler’s suggestive comments.
