Robert De Niro hits on singer Jamelia, calls her a "delicious chocolate thing"

British singer Jamelia was left bemused by Robert De Niro's embarassing attempt to chat her up.

The 63-year-old, double Oscar winner sidled up to the black R & B singer at a private party and called her a 'delicious chocolate thing', then asked 'don't you want to be my leading lady?'.

According to The Mirror, Jamelia had heard he had a 'thing' for black women, and was amazed when he told organisers he wouldn't leave until he had spoken to her.

She recalled: "I'd heard he's got a thing for black women, but I thought it was just a rumour.

"At the end of the night we were finally introduced, but he was so full on, straight away - talking about how I was a delicious chocolate thing.

"Then he started to churn out more chat-up lines, like, 'Don't you want to be my leading lady?' and, 'Come on, I'm not taking no for an answer.'

Unfortunately for a persistent De Niro, Jamelia soon put a stop to his cheesy chat-up.

The 26-year-old mother-of-two, had to let him down gently by telling him she is already in a relationship with soccer star Darren Byfield.

She added: "I was flattered but I told him in no uncertain terms that it was not going to happen. I said I had a boyfriend."

After disappointing album sales, the singer parted ways with her record company. She said to she is desperate to break into acting.

She said: "I'm going to be in the upcoming St Trinian's film, and also in a sitcom that's about to be commissioned by the BBC."

De Niro has been married twice and has five children.

In 2004, De Niro re-married his second wife, Grace Hightower, a former flight attendant. Their son Elliot was born in 1998 and the couple filed for divorce shortly after his birth, but it was never officially finalised.

I thought this was the most hilarious thing I've read all week. I truly wonder if this line ever works for him. And it's good to know that he's cheating on that bitch of a wife of his. I didn't know she was a flight attendant before marrying him. The way she acts you would have thought that she was always filthy rich

Again? Or is this a new story? This happened like 3-4 years ago.

In the late 80's when DeNiro was with Toukie Smith, old Bob hit on my very gorgeous black girlfriend who looked like Whitney Houston (and still does). They were at a party for Willie Smith (Toukie's fashion designer brother).

My friend was wearing a leather mini skirt and boots. She had to keep running away from DeNiro during the party where she practically had to hide behind a crowd of people. Toukie's claws were out and my friend wanted nothing to do with any of them.

I just read he had his prostate removed, so I doubt seriously if he's doing much more than chatting ...

I think she's giving herself a little more credit than she should. She's not THAT attractive.

I used to find him attractive but his chat-up lines are far too creepy - he shouldn't be allowed to use his own dialogues
