While he declared, in 2013, that homosexuality was “unnatural”, Alain Delon himself was bisexual “during the first thirty years of his life”? In any case, this is what is being said The Last Delon Mysteries (Ed. Robert Laffont), a new biography dedicated to the star who died in August 2024.
Its author, Bernard Violet – who had already signed in 1998 The Delon Mysteries (dont The Last Delon Mysteries is a “very” augmented version) – thus evokes testimonies that he had sworn to “keep secret until the death of the star” in an interview published by Le Parisien, Wednesday November 13, 2024.
“Unbridled” youth?
Delon would have “experienced his bisexuality probably out of taste and also with a hint of arrivism”, explains the 75-year-old biographer, claiming to rely on “several testimonies” without revealing any but affirming that they “concord and (me) ) suggest that he was bisexual, at least during the first thirty years of his life.
“I think that the rebellious Alain Delon explored everything in terms of sexuality, with women, with men or in threesomes,” he explains to Le Parisien, based on a statement made by the actor in 1969: “If I wanted to have affairs with men, what would I be guilty of? In love, everything is permitted.”
Deductions and many assertions that are difficult to support, some of which could not be published in his previous work due to a lack of “tangible evidence”, he admits before explaining that he has since continued his research and that he now relies on more than 100 interviews.
