DeNiro's claim of being, "forced", to take every role that he is offered in order to pay for ex-wife's extravagant lifestyle is nothing but pure BS! The truth is he is forced to take every role offered because he isn't getting offered any leading roles in quality movies anymore and hasn't for several years. He's simply just another washed up Hollywood has-been that can't deal with not being one of the industry "power elites" like he used to be.
