Academy Award-winner Robert De Niro opens up about struggling on the set of Netflix's Zero Day.

Per Variety, De Niro described the experience of filming Zero Day as akin to "doing three features back to back." De Niro discussed his work on the upcoming political thriller, adding, "I was in most of it. And so I had to keep up with everything, even as simple as knowing the lines.

I gotta keep going, otherwise I'm gonna sink."
