Robert De Niro tailgated with Philadelphia Eagles fans before the team faced the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. 

De Niro was joined by former Secretary of State John Kerry, Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, Rep. Madeleine Dean and others for the tailgate to get the vote out for Vice President Kamala Harris in M Lot. 

De Niro even ate some pressed duck at the tailgate, according to X user @philatticus. 

De Niro, who has been loudly outspoken against former President Donald Trump, gave a speech at the tailgate, according to a post from X user @jorlextera

De Niro was also in Philly last weekend for an event to support Harris with Leonardo DiCaprio and Mayor Cherelle Parker. Emmy winner Kerry Washington, actress Tessa Thompson and actor Brian Tyree Henry were also at the event. 

De Niro will be at another event on Monday to support Harris with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, actor Sam Waterson and other local Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania. 

De Niro is from New York City, but he played a Birds fan for his role in "Silver Linings Playbook," where he plays the dad of Bradley Cooper, who grew up in Abington Township, Montgomery County.
