Many personalities gathered on the red carpet of the symphony film concert in tribute to Alain Delon this Friday, November 8, the day the star would have turned 89. Alain-Fabien Delon and his sweetheart Laura Bensadoun made the trip, as did Pascal Praud and Samy Nacéri who came arm in arm with their companions.
On August 18, 2024, the world of French cinema lost one of its icons. Alain Delon passed away at the age of 88, surrounded by his children and his dog Loubo. A week after his death, the actor's funeral took place in the strictest privacy, in the presence of hand-picked guests. If the sacred monster of cinema has always categorically refused a national tribute after his death, his sons Anthony and Alain-Fabien nevertheless organized this Friday, November 8, a symphonic film concert in his honor, where 80 musicians played the pieces for two hours of the greatest films of his career.
Alain-Fabien Delon, Chantal Ladesou… The couples were out to pay a last tribute to Alain Delon
There was love in the air at the photocall for the film concert “Alain Delon, the Last Samurai”. Many couples walked the red carpet of the event in tribute to the legend of French cinema who now rests in Douchy. Alain-Fabien Delon attracted the attention of photographers by posing with his sweetheart Laura Bensadoun. The lovebirds, who walked their first red carpet together, did not hesitate to appear complicit in front of the cameras. Chantal Ladesou and her husband Michel Ansault were there, as was Pascal Praud who came with his partner Catherine Bancarel. The CNews journalist was able to meet other couples, like Samy Nacéri and his fiancée Sofia Athena. Mathilde Seigner was also among the many personalities invited to the evening. The actress was present to support her ex Anthony Delon, who was surrounded by his daughters Loup and Liv, born from his love affair with Sophie Clérico.
Anouchka Delon was largely absent from this event in tribute to her dad
If Anthony Delon and Alain-Fabien Delon were present during this evening, Anouchka Delon, the only daughter of the clan, was conspicuously absent. An absence to which Laura Bensadoun's companion reacted in the columns of Paris Match. “It would have been better if we had all come together for this tribute to our father and to support Alzheimer's research. It would have been good for her to be there, especially since it's dad's birthday.” Nathalie Delon's son, for his part, wanted to emphasize that this evening was above all for the public, “who was more important” for his dad. “This audience was there this evening en masse and I think they were like all of us, very moved. People were there with their hearts”he added to our colleagues.
