De Niro's statement came after an interview his daughter Eirin (formerly son Aaron) gave to the LGBTQ+ online magazine Them, in which she described her transition process.
There is a difference between being visible and being seen. I was visible. I don't think I was really seen then
Saying that "no parent is perfect", Eirin thanked De Niro and her mother, model Tuki Smith.
I am grateful that both of my parents agreed to keep me out of the spotlight. They told me they wanted me to have as normal a childhood as possible
After the publication of the interview, Eirin wrote on social networks: "Thank you to everyone who has been so kind and supportive of me! I'm not used to all these looks."
