This is the first time he speaks. The first public speaking since this event which will mark his life forever, the loss of his father Alain Delon. If Alain-Fabien Delon, now happily in love, appeared on the set of C to youOctober 18, Anthony Delon, elder of the clan (they also have a sister, Anouchka Delon), he chose the microphone of RTL. Since the death of Alain Delon, he has published some content on Instagram but has not expressed himself as he does this time. Present at the Lyon Light Festival, at the invitation of Thierry Fremaux for the tribute which will be paid to his father at the closing of this Sunday evening. It is far from Douchy – where he goes several times a week – that Anthony – whose relationship with his father has not always been smooth sailing – says to himself: “orphan“.
The emotion in front of the Douchy gates, the flowers brought by the fans. He realized that something very strong was happening, as he acknowledged with these words: “The presence of people in Douchy was something very moving, it’s true. I actually realized that after his disappearance, even at the international level, it was like an explosion. Like a wake-up call, suddenly. The public, not really, because they fell in love with him 60 years ago. But at the level of the media, the press, the profession. In the United States, everywhere, there was the New York Times, then retrospectives all over the world. Something happened I think. […] They realized the icon who left, the immense actor who bowed out.“
Two months after the death of Alain Delon, Anthony Delon takes stock of the situation
If the public was marked, above all it is the family of Alain Delon, his inner circle who must come to terms with his disappearance. Anthony Delon, who speaks for the first time since his father’s death, discusses his condition: “We are two months away and one day is very little. Grieving takes time, things fall into place. There are ups and downs, it’s never easy of course.“He decided not to speak on behalf of his brother and sister, but of himself, his feelings.”As far as I’m concerned, I’m not going to speak for others, today I’m an orphan. I don’t have anyone anymore. I have my children, I have my family but those who built my life, who made me what I am today, they are all gone“, he confided. Then: “I find myself alone. It takes time to get used to all this.“
Remember that Anthony Delon is currently at the Lyon Light Festival. Present this Sunday, October 20, in the afternoon, for the screening of Plein soleil, the masterpiece by René Clément, closing in front of 5,000 people. The first public tribute.
