Analyze This photo...is there a hidden Goodfella?

Photobombed by De Niro?

- BILLY SCANLAN

IT COULD be said with some justification that anyone can look like Robert De Niro when they itch their eye.

The very act of eye itching triggers De Niro's trademark slight head tilt to the side, and downturn of mouth, in all of us.

We all have the potential to win Oscars and have our own NYC sushi restaurant - just by prodding a midge that might have entered our general eye socket area.

I mention this because it's entirely probable I wasn't photobombed by Robert De Niro in Mayo on this day last week. But it's also entirely possible I was.

Some context - I was in Westport trying to partake in cafe culture which in Ireland means sitting at a wobbly table half on a town centre footpath, half on the road.
