Alain Delon, absolute legend of French cinema, left us three months ago. He died peacefully on August 18 at the age of 88, in Douchy and surrounded by his family. Especially Loubo, the family dog. An animal that the man wanted to see be euthanized when he left. This was ultimately not the case, to the delight of his children, starting with Anthony. “This is all we have left of him alive.“he explained during his participation in the show Le Figaro At Nightalongside Thibaut Gauthier.
“It's his dog. And he's part of the family. So I go to Douchy (two, three times a week, editor’s note) for him. This is mainly why“, added Anthony Delonhe who recently enjoyed a walk with Loubo and his daughter Loup.
Alain Delon bisexual? Anthony responds
In this interview, Anthony Delon also reacted to rumors that his father was bisexual. Thibault Gautier relied on the confidences of Bernard Violet in his book The last Delon mysteries – All his secrets revealeds, published on November 14 by Robert Laffont editions: “Alain Delon was bisexual, at least during the first thirty years of his life. A free character with crazy ambition, he lived his bisexuality probably out of taste and also with a hint of careerism.“
Without any filter, Anthony Delon reacted as follows: “I will answer you . I'm not going to echo that. To respond would be a service to the person who wrote it. Why would I give him this gift? He's gone, we have to leave him alone now, we have to stop with this and everything else. It is the memory of the dead that we honor, not that of the living. We must leave him in peace. He made history. I want to keep the best, the positive.”
Death of Alain Delon, Anthony saddened but not alone
Anthony Delon therefore does not want to dwell further on this subject. What he wants is simply to return to Douchy to recharge his batteries, to see Loubo, but also to take the opportunity to do “a little detour through the Chapel“, where his father was buried. His pain is immense, but he tries to remain positive: “Each loss is a new beginning. It's very difficult to lose someone. It's like a breakup, it's difficult, and a new life starts again afterwards.“
Anthony Delon also recognizes having had a “chance”, that “to have four parents, so to speak. I think if my two supporting walls hadn't been there, maybe I would have self-destructed.“He speaks here of his father Alain Delon and his mother Nathalie, but also of his godfather Georges Beaume, and his Alsatian nanny Loulou.
Two people who greatly contributed to his education, although he still has some regrets about his childhood: “I missed things, despite this help I received, this support… I had the impression of having grown up in a house without a roof.“
A “roof” that he himself subsequently built, he explained, referring to the fact that he himself founded a family, with his daughters Loup and Liv (whose mother is Sophie Clérico and with whom At the beginning of the month he attended the symphonic film concert organized at the Palais des Congrès in tribute to his father and his career): “Fortunately I have my children…“
