Snoop Dogg, Robert De Niro and Austin Butler met for dinner in Malibu to discuss their next collaboration

Robert De Niro, Snoop Dogg, and Austin Butler sharing a dinner table together may sound like the beginning of a joke, but it was a reality on Friday, March 29.

The trio gathered for dinner at Snoop Dogg’s residence in Malibu, California, where they engaged in what appeared to be a lively conversation about various topics.

The occasion was documented through photos and videos by Champ Medici (real name Cordell Broadus), Snoop Dogg’s son, and shared on Instagram.

Champ, 27, captured the moment with a post on Instagram, featuring De Niro, Butler, and his father, Snoop Dogg, alongside himself.

He captioned the post, “Champ DeNiro Elvis Snoop ✅ 🦅 Dinner @ the Malibu house talking numbers,” hinting at discussions that went beyond mere socializing. However, specific details about their conversation were not disclosed.

In one of the videos shared, Snoop Dogg humorously remarks to De Niro as they pose for a photo, “You didn’t know I had Italian in my blood, huh?” De Niro, in his characteristic manner, responds promptly, “I knew that.”

Snoop Dogg, known for his diverse collaborations, has worked with various celebrities in the past, including Martha Stewart. Their partnership extended beyond a cooking show, as they collaborated on projects like Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party and endorsements for brands like 19 Crimes wine and Skechers shoes.

Reflecting on his dynamic with Stewart, Snoop described it as “magic,” emphasizing their ability to bring people together through their joint ventures. He highlighted the importance of their show not only as a platform for themselves but also as a means to connect with their audience and foster community.

The gathering of De Niro, Snoop Dogg, and Butler is an unexpected combination of talents from different industries. De Niro, recently nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2024 Oscars for his role in Killers of the Flower Moon, adds prestige to the group. Meanwhile, Butler, known for his role in Elvis, is currently portraying the villainous Feyd-Rautha in Dune: Part Two, showcasing his versatility as an actor.

As the evening unfolded in Malibu, it was undoubtedly a memorable occasion, bringing together icons from music, film, and entertainment for an evening of camaraderie and intriguing conversation.
