I don't think DeNiro acts like a tough guy at all that's just that old school New York mentality. I just think that demeanor can be a little intimidating to people who don't see those type of people everyday.
Why Does Robert De Niro Act Like He's Actually A Tough Guy?

So you are asking why actor Bob Deniro acts like a tough guy?

I think I know why OP made this post.
De Niro kept real and some people took offence to that.

You didn't even know what "purport" meant and had to go look it up & now you're going to try and challenge me on vocabulary?
You can post all the nonsensical rhetoric you want, but it's still not going to make any of your flawed theories correct. Take your L like a man and go sit your silly, high ass down somewhere clown!
why do you feel the need to be condescending on a message board? This thread isn't about who has the better vocabulary, that is why i don't understand why you would even choose to use the word "purport" instead of simply saying "claims". i could tell exactly what the word meant because of the context of the sentence it was in, i googled it because i've never seen it before.
i didn't post any nonsensical rhetoric. I posted facts.
You claim that Robert Deniro "purports to be" (claims to be) a mobster.
Receipts? When has Robert Deniro ever even implied that he was in the mob or a tough guy? He hasn't.
Having a certain demeanor =/= claiming to be something you're not. Your whole argument is invalid, you realize this, that is why you resort to the personal attacks and trying to finesse the definition of words.
You're an idiot. Point blank. Learning a few words won't change that fact

naww im talking baout in general how hea cts like he has some mafioso knowledge or something
You claim that Robert Deniro "purports to be" (pretends to be) a mobster.
Fixed!
It's not my fault that you're an unintelligent imbecile who had no clue of the word "purport" & that it has more than one meaning or denotation besides "claim". So all the whining and repetitive posts you keep submitting to make yourself feel like you've won an argument you already lost a long time ago isn't going to change the absolute facts.

How many times are we going to go through this?
In the context that you used it you meant claim. Same meaning as to pretend, assert, pose as, signify, etc.
Ex: This dude pretends to be a mobster.
This dude poses like hes a mobster.
This dude asserts that he is a mobster.
This dude CLAIMS to be a mobster
This dude purports to be a mobster.
All those sentences mean the same exact thing. The definition has not changed. So i don't understand why you keep trying to finesse the definition of this word. Your whole argument is based upon the use of this word that you don't even understand.
Robert Deniro does NONE OF THE ABOVE.
Having a certain demeanor =/= pretending to be something.
You could rightly say robert deniro has a tough demeanor. You can say he has a grimey Demeanor. You can his demeanor gives you mobster vibes. You can say you think his demeanor is fake.
What you CANNOT rightly say is that Robert Deniro purports, claims, or alleges to be a mobster. He has never explicitly threatened anyone. He has never explicitly claimed to be involved with organized crime. He has never implied that he is involved in organized crime. Because having a certain demeanor IMPLIES NOTHING.
Talking like a female does not mean you're purporting to be gay. Talking with a new york accent doesn't mean you're purporting to be a mobster. Unless you can show me receipts of Robert Deniro even IMPLYING something mobsterish in an interview, you have no fukking argument.
You're an idiot.
Are you high again? You literally have to be one of stupidest smart/dumb people I've ever come across who can't even decipher the English vocabulary or a dictionary correctly. The definition of "purport" & it's synonyms meanings change based on the FACT that they can be used as a noun,verb or adjective. Maybe you should spend less time writing worthless babble & better educate yourself so that you don't continue look like such a complete fool!

Again. You try and make the discussion about the definition of a word instead of simply taking your L.

Kid you're an idiot. You can type all the condescending bullshyt you want, the definition of the word never changed. You're whole argument is based upon a word which you aren't even using right.
Forget about the fukking word and show me the receipts you retard. When has robert deniro ever implied that he was a mobster? Having a certain demeanor =/= implying something.
Please, continue to embarrass yourself.

Don't try to change the subject now! Let's focus on the reality you've been proven wrong throughout this entire thread & that all your petulant attempts to "FilliBuster" (oh look, you spelled that wrong also) & be correct have failed.

Argument was never about the definition of the word. Why do you keep trying to change the focus of the debate? Because you can't provide receipts?
You. Are. A. Idiot.
Robert Deniro has never purported to be a gangster. Doesn't matter how many times you try to finesse the definition, it remains the same.
that's the point of your whole thread op
