Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have joined forces once again—but this time, not for the big screen. In October 2025, the two iconic actors starred together in their first-ever joint fashion campaign for Moncler, the Italian luxury brand. The project, titled “Warmer Together,” focuses as much on emotional warmth and human connection as it does on winter coats.
Two giants, one campaign
Seeing Al Pacino and Robert De Niro side by side has always felt like witnessing a piece of cinema history. From Heat to The Irishman, they’ve often played opposite each other with an intensity that leaves a mark. But seeing them here, not in a scene of conflict or tension, but shoulder to shoulder in thick winter jackets, feels oddly touching—almost poetic.
Moncler chose them for a reason. These are not just actors, they are enduring figures of trust, depth, and legacy. Perfect for a campaign that hinges on warmth—not just the kind that protects you from the cold, but the kind that joins people together. Photographed by Platon in New York, the black-and-white imagery is full of respect and quiet intensity, like a long friendship captured in a glance.
Voices of trust and connection
In the short campaign film, both actors reflect on themes that feel personal and genuine. De Niro, calm and introspective, says: “Warmth was never about the outside. It was always about what was happening on the inside.” Pacino, with that unmistakable voice, follows: “Friendship is the greatest thing you can have… an innate trust. And the understanding of life.” To read Gwen Stefani headlines magical 2025 Disney Christmas Parade
There’s nothing forced here—just two men who’ve been through decades of film, fame, and life, speaking plainly about what matters. As someone who grew up watching them, it’s hard not to feel moved. They’re no longer just mobsters and detectives—they’re storytellers of life well beyond the script.
The spirit of Moncler
Moncler’s chairman Remo Ruffini describes the campaign as aligned with the brand’s original essence: “Moncler is about love and a sense of togetherness.” That’s not just a slogan. For a brand that’s been around since 1952, being relevant today means leaning into emotion, identity, and community—not just design.
The “Warmer Together” initiative isn’t just a star-driven moment. It extends to other voices too:
- Music artist Tobe Nwigwe and his wife Fat offer a soulful cover of “Lean on Me,” reinforcing the message of support and unity.
- The fall/winter 2025 collection features practical, elegant pieces like the Bretagne jacket, a down-filled staple combining comfort and sleek design.
These choices show that Moncler’s not just trying to sell coats—it’s tapping into something larger: the closeness between people during the colder months, and perhaps a longing for unity in a fragmented world.
When legends step out of the frame
What’s striking is how rare this collaboration really is. Despite acting together in several films over the decades, De Niro and Pacino have never lent their image together to a project like this, in such a stripped-back, personal way.

There’s humility in this campaign. It’s not loud. There are no flashy shots or exaggerated poses. Just two friends, who’ve walked the same roads, now walking through winter together in silence and solidarity. Maybe that’s what age brings: less need to impress, more desire to express. And honestly, it’s beautiful.
As a longtime admirer of both these men, watching them in this kind of setting is as memorable as any closing scene. There’s no dialogue to memorize, no action to choreograph—just honest presence and warmth. That’s what stays with you.
