Heaven forbid that professional actors should be expected to ... you know ... act.

Did De Niro ever complain about not liking how if felt to be fake shot-to-death in movies like Heat, and insist that he be shot for real instead?

'Coz I'm kinda guessing he didn't.

In Goodfellas (1990), Robert De Niro didn’t like how fake money felt in his hand and insisted on using real money. So the prop master withdrew several thousand dollars of his own money to use. At the end of each take, no one was allowed to leave the set until all the money was returned and counted.

I don't like fiat fake money in my hands either. I prefer real money, gold.
