Robert De Niro halted filming on ‘The Intern’ to watch the World Cup.

The 70-year-old actor took a break from shooting ‘The Intern’ in Brooklyn on Thursday (06.26.14) to watch the USA play Germany in the World Cup after finding a group of fans in a nearby house who were hosting a viewing party.

Executives on the movie had originally asked officials at a nearby apartment building to help the movie legend be able to see the game in his trailer.

An email was sent which read: ”Our lead actor, Robert De Niro, would very much like to watch the World Cup game, today at 12 pm.

”Would it be possible to place a small portable satellite on the building rooftop ASAP and run a cable to the street to help facilitate this request?”

However, following the request, a resident stepped in to invite the ‘Taxi Driver’ star to watch it with them.

A neighbor told the Business Insider: ”We got another email from a neighbor saying he talked to the crew and apparently he found a house of people watching it and joined them.”

Production was halted for two hours so the legendary actor could enjoy the game.

Shakira says Gerard Piqué always keeps his promises.

The 37-year-old singer first met her boyfriend when he appeared in her ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)’ music video, the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and claims the Spanish soccer star predicted at the time that they would have son together before the 2014 competition, which will kick off in Brazil on Thursday (06.12.14).

The blonde beauty – who now has a 16-month-old son, Milan, with Gerard – told E! News: ”It is really cool and it’s kind of like the way everything started almost four years ago when he was about to play in his first World Cup and I was there singing, he told me, ‘I’m going to win this World Cup so I can see you at the finals,’ and he did, he won.

”We started dating and he said to me, ‘The next World Cup we’re going to go together with our baby boy,’ and we’re doing it. So everything he promises, he keeps.”

Despite being very happy together, the Colombian star recently insisted she and Gerard, 27, have no plans to get married.

She said: ”I just don’t find marriage a necessary step in a couple’s life. But are you kidding me? I would marry [Gerard] in a second. We’re just living other moments right now, like having Milan. The last thing we can think of is planning a wedding. Before we finish elaborating on that thought we have to change the next diaper.”
