Alain Delon was an immense French actor who will never be forgotten. Aged 88, he died on August 18,
“peacefully in his house in Douchy alongside his loved ones” announced his children to AFP.
Since then, the actor has continued to be talked about and when it does not concern the battle between his three children, it is his private life that is discussed. Anthony Delon was Thibaut Gautier's guest on the show Le Figaro at night this Wednesday, November 27. The journalist returned to the book released by Bernard Violet on November 14 and
in which he discusses the private life of the actor.
In this biography, “numerous revelations” were promised to fans of the actor. Among them, there is also his possible bisexuality. “Alain Delon was bisexual, at least during the first thirty years of his life. he notably stated before continuing: “A free character with crazy ambition, he lived his bisexuality probably out of taste and also with a hint of careerism”. Enough to make Anthony Delon react.
“I will answer you . I’m not going to echo that,” he began.
Anthony Delon: a rumor he does not wish to respond to
Anthony Delon was blunt on the subject. For him, it is out of the question to discuss his father's private life.
“To respond would be a service to the person who wrote it. Why would I give him this gift?” he asked. Alain Delon's son affirms it: why continue to mention this rumor? “He’s gone, we have to leave him alone now, we have to stop with this and with everything else,” he said.
“It is the memory of the dead that we honor, it is not that of the living. We must leave him in peace,” Anthony Delon gets carried away.
For Anthony Delon, bringing up this rumor again has no interest. He recalls in particular that his father was an immense actor with an extraordinary cultural heritage. “He made history. I want to keep the best, the positive”,
he concluded. If Alain Delon's private life was no secret, there were certain things he preferred to keep to himself. So, why focus today on an element that has no importance? For Anthony Delon, the most important thing is to remember the immense actor he was.
Alain Delon: a rumor to which he reacted
In 2013, Alain Delon described homosexuality as “unnatural”, thus putting an end to all rumors concerning his possible bisexuality. However, Bernard Violet affirms:
“This statement was that of an old reactionary who denied his youth, during which he was much more tolerant,” he declared, specifying that with his status and the context of the time, Alain Delon could not afford to be honest on this subject.
“Even today, the bisexuality or homosexuality of a star is, for some, a taboo subject. So, imagine in the 1950s and 1960s”, he declared.
