The icon of French cinema, Jean-Paul Belmondo, died in September 2021 and since then, his son Paul Belmondo, actor and racing driver, continues to share the admiration and affection he had for his father. Known for his charisma, his daring, his iconic roles, the actor left a big void after his death, an absence that Paul tries to fill by paying homage as much as he can to his father. Paul has often expressed admiration for his father's career, while forging his own path. The two men shared a passion for sport and adventure that brought them closer over the years and that Luana Belmondo's future ex-husband still tries to cultivate today. Nostalgic, he posted a black and white photo of his parents a few days ago. An image which is not insignificant in these times of crisis within the Belmondo clan.
Paul Belmondo's two sisters accuse him, in particular, of having monopolized a significant part of their father's inheritance, including a luxury villa in Antigua. This photo could be a way to calm things down, especially since Florence is also the daughter of Élodie Constantin, like Paul. Last night, Wednesday October 30, the ex-pilot posted another, previously unpublished, black and white photo of his father who can be seen playful on a bike. In the caption, he wrote: “Yesterday, the presentation of the Tour de France took place. Every summer, in July, we watched the day's stage with my father. He passed on to me the passion for cycling! My first memories date back to Poulidor, Merckx, Anquetil, Thevenet, Ocaña, and later Hinault. It was one of his favorite sports, along with boxing of course and football.. A great way to pay tribute to Jean-Paul Belmondo and continue to keep his memory alive. Internet users were also delighted by this photo, according to the comments. “What a beautiful photothank you Paul for sharing”, “Piloting a handsome haberdasher with a toe clip”, “Holala, only memories” or even “A new photo, never seen before! Thank you very much Paul”a-t-on pu lire.
Paul Belmondo angry!
Paul Belmondo doesn't just post tributes since he sometimes decides to share his rants. On October 14, he took to his Instagram account to denounce an event organized in Prague using his father's name. “This concert is organized without the agreement of the family by exploiting the Belmondo name. My father during his lifetime always refused this type of demonstration and these people are exploiting his image despite our disagreement!”he wrote in the caption of a screenshot of the event in question. Faced with his dismay, Anthony Delon tried to share his anger by letting him know that he was not spared on his side either. “We already have two calendars, including one of caricatures by the artist… They don't waste time, guys. They're making money!”he regretted.
