Check Out Robert De Niro’s Audition Tape For The Godfather [VIDEO]

Two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro was given an Oscar for his role as Vito Corleone in ‘The Godfather Part II’. But, in a strange turn of events, it has been revealed that he also auditioned for the role of Santino “Sonny” Corleone in the first film – something that he was ultimately not as successful with.

The role of Sonny went to James Caan, but that didn’t prevent a spirited audition from a 30-year-old De Niro.

Now 70, De Niro can look back at a career full of glittering highlights, though this may not be one of them.

Director Francis Ford Coppola later commented about De Niro’s audition:

He was spectacular, but it was Sonny really like killer, nothing you could ever sell.
