Robert De Niro, 77, wears leg brace as he is spotted for first time since ‘excruciating’ injury on set of new Martin Scorsese film

'What I’m doing with Scorsese in Killers of the Flower Moon, I’m pretty much a sedentary character in a way,' he said. 'I don’t move around a lot, thank god. So we’ll manage.

'I just have to get the procedure done and keep it straight in a certain position and let it heal.'
