Harvey Keitel, celebrated for his memorable performances in “Pulp Fiction” and “Reservoir Dogs,” was seen stepping out for a rare public appearance with his wife, Daphna Kastner, on Friday evening.
The actor, who is now 86, accompanied by the 65-year-old actress, marked her birthday with a dinner at the renowned Nobu Malibu, joined by some of their well-known friends.
Among the notable guests were Al Pacino, who is 85, Robert De Niro, aged 82, and Tobey Maguire, who is 50, making it a star-studded gathering.
Keitel exuded style, donning a black sweater paired with a blazer and pants, complemented by matching sunglasses, while his hair, a striking white-grey, was slicked back.
In contrast, Kastner captivated in a long, beige dress, topped with a coordinating patterned coat, epitomizing elegance.
She also wore slightly tinted eyewear, and her long blonde hair flowed freely.Â

Pacino wore a satin, grey, button-up shirt topped by a single-buttoned black blazer.
Like his friend Keitel, he also wore sunglasses and his grey hair was neatly combed back.Â
For his part, Maguire wore a nondescript black baseball cap and black sweater while rocking a scruffy, grizzled beard.Â
Keitel and Kastner are parents to one son, Roman, who was born in 2004.Â
Keitel has two other children from previous relationships: Stella, born in 1985 with actress Lorraine Bracco, and Hudson, born in 2001 with Lisa Karmazin.
The family resides in New York City, where they maintain a relatively private life away from the public eye.
In 2021 Keitel shared the story of how he met Kastner over 20 years ago, revealing that De Niro played a role in their introduction.
‘I met my wife in Rome at a party for Robert,’ Keitel said of their first meeting in the 80s on The Late Show.
‘She allowed me to take her to dinner at the [Dal Bolognese Roma]. Then I called her back again a second night. She came and we had dinner together a second night.
Tobey Maguire, 50, was also at the star-studded dinner party

‘And then I asked her if she would like a drink in my hotel room – and she said, “No, thank you.” And I spent a lot of money on her. It was a good restaurant,’ he added while laughing.
He went on to reveal that he didn’t see Kastner again for 17 years – when they reconnected at another party hosted by De Niro.
‘And there was this girl who I bought two dinners at the Dal Bolognese 17 years ago and it was my wife, Daphna. And we stayed together,’ he recalled.
‘And seven weeks later, I was going to a film festival in Italy and I asked her to come with me. She said “yes.”‘
He continued the story, ‘And on the flight, I said, “What do you think about getting married?” She gave a great answer: she said, “OK.”‘
Wrapping up the anecdote, the Hollywood legend said, ‘The topper was, we get pregnant about a year later, and our son is born on Robert De Niro’s birthday.’
