Robert De Niro and Al Pacino Star In Moncler's Latest Campaign

The friendship between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino is the stuff of Hollywood legend. Here we have a couple of guys who have famously played some of the most ruthless, bitter, terrifying—in a word, unfriendly—characters the silver screen has ever seen. If you were to assume you had some insight into their own personalities based on their work, you'd figure they'd be curmudgeonly at best. Of course, you'd be dead wrong. The pair have been close friends for decades. And one look at their faces in Moncler's latest campaign shows that the openness and affection between them has not cooled with time.

The campaign, fittingly, is called "Warmer Together." It's a celebration of the label's iconic puffer jackets and the literal warmth they provide, sure, but it goes further than that.

"For decades, Moncler has been associated with winter and puffer jackets, but I have always felt that Moncler is about something deeper: love and a sense of togetherness," chairman and CEO Remo Ruffini said in a statement. "These values have shaped everything we’ve done for over 70 years. Across every product and every campaign, there runs a consistent thread of emotion and human connection. Through their story of friendship, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro embody everything Moncler truly stands for: affection, warmth, and the belief that we are all better and warmer together."

De Niro, in a teaser for the campaign, echoed that sentiment. "Warmth was never about the outside," he said. "It was always about what was happening on the inside."

And Pacino, for his part, focused more explicitly on the value of friendship. "Friendship is the greatest thing you can have," he said. "Friends, people whom you share the same world with. There is just an innate trust. And the understanding of life."

In addition to the photos, the campaign includes a series of short films featuring De Niro and Pacino. Taken as a whole, the entire thing is enough to get you feeling a little sappy. At the very least, we should all take it as a reminder to cherish the people close to us. Speaking of, when's the last time you called your best friend? Or your mother? Time to pick up the phone and get to work.
