If this is your first encounter with Robert De Niro, welcome to Earth. We hope the spaceship you crashed in isn't too wrecked.
The Oscar winner, who's premiering his latest film The Family today, has not only become a legend for his impressive body of work—Raging Bull, The Godfather II,GoodFellas—but for his signature face. Facial expression, really. It's the one where he contorts in a way that makes it look like he just ate something super sour and super disgusting, yet curiously delicious at the same time. It's something so particular to him that other entertainers admire it, even inadvertently, as much as they look up to his career.
The proof is in the pictures: Celebrities Doing the Robert De Niro Face.

Jimmy Fallon
Fallon has perfected the De Niro frown by picturing Joan River's love life. He's disgusted, yet slightly impressed she's still at it.
President Obama
Not pictured: President Obama's hands as he's pretending to hold onto two invisible strings that make his lips move.
Jon Stewart
Not an impression—he just accidentally slammed his finger on his desk.
James Franco
Franco doing his best De Niro. Hathaway doing her best "I'm really trying not to strangle you."
George W. Bush
De Niro meets Droopy Dog.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone's unamused resting face is classic De Niro.
James Van der Beek
Dawson watched way too many movies.
Jean Dujardin
Adorable baby bird De Niro.
Dave Franco
Franco's got the right facial muscles, but he's too young and his skin is too flexible. Give it a few decades and it'll be spot on. Right now, he looks like a melting ventriloquist dummy.
Edgar Wright
We sincerely hope that Wright's drunken De Niro impression is the new Facebook fad instead of girls with duck lips. De Niro lips is the wave.
Kevin Hart
Once upon a time, De Niro was looking at this picture of Hart and swore he was looking in a mirror.
Nick Frost
If you've ever wondered what De Niro would look like as a chubby British lad (though we're not sure why you would), here you go.
Chris Tucker
Almost no dedication here, Tucker.
Kristen Wiig
Honestly, it's like you slapped a blonde wig on De Niro here. All the awards go to Wiig.
Kevin Jonas
The teen heartthrob is actually trying to look like Beaker from the Muppets. Nailed it.
Amanda Seyfried
Not sure if Seyfried is imitating De Niro's threatening look to the camera men or if she just finished sucking on a lemon.
Simon Pegg
Pegg displays an accurate impression of what Robert De Niro and Melanie Griffith's love child would look like.
Paul Rudd
Actually, there's no difference between this still of Rudd in Knocked Up and Bobby De Niro's literal face.
