Jamie Cullum performed a special New York-inspired mash-up for Robert de Niro at the Cannes Film Festival last night (May 11).

The actor was honoured by stars from stage and screen at the opening ceremony of the 64th Festival de Cannes.

Cullum, who was specially chosen to perform for de Niro, played a piano cover of Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York' and 'Empire State Of Mind' by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

He said: "De Niro's a film legend who defines what cinema is all about. It's amazing to have the opportunity to honour him."

His performance, which you can watch below, had members of the festival jury, including Urma Thurman, dancing on the stage.
