According to reporter Emma Brockes who gave 'The Guardian' details of what happened on set of the interview, the 72-year-old got upset after been asked about two major topics.

Brockes claimed  she questioned him about the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City, home to the famed film festival which he co-founded, asking if the area had been overrun by bankers. And secondly, she questioned if the Oscar winner ever gets into “autopilot” mode while on set.

According to Brockes, Niro said: "All the way through. Negative inference… The whole way through and I’m not doing it. I’m not doing it, darling."
