Michelle Pfeiffer recently revealed to reporters what a joy it was to work with her co-star Robert De Niro on the set of The Family.

According to The Inquisitr, Pfeiffer said that De Niro's laid back personality helps put his fellow actors at ease while working.

"He’s a classic example of someone who’s iconic and effortlessly puts actors at ease the moment you meet him," the 55-year-old actress said. "You just show up to the set and you’re part of a team and working together and supporting each other, and if everybody shows up with that attitude then everybody has a great time and the work is better as well."

Filming The Family with De Niro was actually a dream come true for Pfeiffer. "I always dreamed of working with you [De Niro], so I was just very excited,” she said, reports WebProNews.

Co-star Dianna Agron was impressed with both Pfeiffer and De Niro, and how pleasant they both were to work with. "Everybody wants to do a good job and you want to make it believable so that involves speaking to each other, and not just in the scene because that would be really awkward! I have heard of instances where people are asked not to talk to people, look them in the eye, or not wear purple, and other things like that."

The Family was released on June 4 and has since received several mixed reviews.
