The comedian confessed to being star-struck by De Niro while filming the movie Stardust last year.
He said: "I told [Extras collaborator] Stephen Merchant: 'We've got to get De Niro!' But first rehearsal, I didn't ask him. Next day we're getting on well, I'm making him laugh, adlibbing. It's great, [we were like] best friends. Bob De Niro! He's laughing at my jokes.
"Seven hours, last scene, I say: 'I do this thing called Extras and...' The director Matthew Vaughn knew I was going to ask and he has a laugh and says: 'OK, let's turn around!'"
He added: "Finally I ask and he says he's really busy, but he'll call. Two days later he calls and says: 'Hi, it's Bob. We did that thing together.' And I went: 'I thought I told you to never f**king call me!' And he laughed!"
