I just believe he became burnt out by the early to mid-90s. The years of method acting took its toll and since he was aging he just started to not give a sh!t. I think he should be able to do whatever he wants, he worked his ass off for years giving great performances.
You have to realize that Robert De Niro is almost 73 years old. He can no longer be selective with film roles if he wants to continue to act and make a lot of movies. Obviously,there is a rarity of great film roles available for man his age.Even Jack Nicholson and Robert Redford make less movies at this time considering their age and there are less movie offers for these people. While the two guys that I have mentioned probably are happy with their movie careers, De Niro probably wants to be active in the
movies.You have to realize that it won't hurt his legacy since he is already considered to be one of the all-time greats.
