Legendary Hollywood icon Robert De Niro has some advice for President Barack Obama: “Pick your battles.”

The Grudge Match star has been a longtime supporter of the president and campaigned at his side in 2008 and 2012.

“He’s a guy who means to do the right thing, he has to pick his battles, but his heart is in the right place,” De Niro told Fox News on Monday.

“He’s not a schemer, he’s not devious,” the 70-year-old actor added.

De Niro raised a few eyebrows last fall when he joked that America may not be ready for a white first lady.
