Chelsea Handler has a crush on Robert De Niro.
De Niro and Handler were guests on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, which is when she professed her feelings. "I feel sexually attracted to Robert De Niro. I always have," she told host Jimmy Fallon. "And I would like to be penetrated by him."
The remark appeared to fluster the host, who quickly said, "I am going to change the subject."

Before graphically describing her attraction, she told Fallon, "I couldn't even go near him backstage because his girlfriend is back there, and I don't want her to think that I'm making a move. But I want to make a move."
She added that "elderly men" do the trick for her. "I always date older," she said. "I mean, at some point, I have to stop because it's gonna get too old."

It's not the first time she's talked about De Niro sexually over the last year. In June, she posted a video to X (formerly Twitter) detailing an "epidemic" of "horny old men who won’t stop spreading their seed." She called out De Niro, 80, and Al Pacino, 84, both of whom welcomed babies in 2023. She also mentioned Elon Musk, 54, and Alec Baldwin, 66.
"Don’t even get me started on these four horny old men, who have never met a broken condom they didn’t like," she said before the rant took an unexpected turn.
"How do we protect the women of the world from horny old men?" she continued. "Don't worry, I have a plan to stop this madness. I'm offering to put myself up for auction for any available octogenarians. You can find me on eBay or DoorDash. And for 20 percent off, you can use the code 'sugart-ts.'"
