Robert De Niro cut a frail figure while stepping out in New York on Wednesday.
The 82-year-old screen legend bundled up against the chilly weather as he was pictured arriving at his hotel in Tribeca.
The actor wore a black beanie and a striped scarf, which he paired with a practical navy jacket and matching pants.
He kept comfortable in a pair of black sneakers and carried a black backpack as well as a bundle of papers.
De Niro - who recently broke down in tears during an interview - seemingly has no plans to slow down, and has remained incredibly busy with a packed slate of high-profile projects.
The cinema titan recently reprised his role as the famously intimidating Jack Byrnes in the highly anticipated Focker In-Law, which sees him reunite with Ben Stiller and share the screen with pop princess Ariana Grande.

The comedy is scheduled for release in November of this year.
The Oscar winner is also set to appear in the chilling psychological thriller The Whisper Man and the gritty TV series Mr. Natural.
Last month De Niro broke down in tears during an interview with MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace about Donald Trump 'destroying' the United States.
The moment occurred toward the end of the roughly 45-minute sitdown, on Wallace's Best People podcast.
'You’re always about lifting up everybody around you everybody. Why is that?' Wallace asked.
'You have to- you have to lift people up', the actor replied, his voice heavy with emotion.
At this point, De Niro began holding back tears - to little avail.
'You have to bring them together,' De Niro said, completely overcome with emotion. 'You can’t divide people. You can’t win that way.'
The Raging Bull star then framed the country's current state as 'a no-win situation.'
'And look what we have, look who we have there, it’s almost like a destiny to have this this thing there, destroying - attempting to destroy this country and maybe not even understanding why,' he said.
'So it’s up to us to protect the country.'

'I want my country back,' the actor also said at a point.
Wallace ended the interview by asking De Niro whether he believed this was 'the moment' the US moves towards something 'better'.
De Niro responded: 'I don't know. All I know is people have to have to resist, resist, resist. There's no easy way.'
'You better jump and run through the fire because if you don’t run through the fire, you’re not getting out and that’s what we have to do.'
De Niro's comments came months after nationwide 'No Kings' protests rippled throughout the country late last year.
They also come not long after De Niro likened Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller to Adolf Hitler's chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels on MS NOW's The Weekend back in October.
He had been asked if he thinks Trump will graciously leave the White House when his term expires in 2028.
'No way,' he said. 'We see it all the time - he will not want to leave.'
