Since then, the star's eldest son has been asked for interviews to honor his memory. Sunday December 1, 2024, while he was a guest on the show Le Figaro la nuit, on Figaro TV, Anthony Delon launched into a long monologue. “I remember – there are several who have spoken out on this – but Bernard Tapie said before leaving: 'It's important to succeed in life, but it's more important to succeed in life'. I think that succeeding in life as a man or woman is the most important thing there is.”he began.
Anthony Delon: “It’s starting to go a bit wrong there”
In complete transparency, the 60-year-old actor explained: “This transmission, that is to say when you know that from one generation to the next, at least as far as I am concerned, where you say to yourself: 'That's it, I have reversed a certain maternal and paternal tendency' My mother was also a mess in her family and all that!
You tell yourself that you managed to reverse thatit's a bit like the first link in a new chain. This transmission is very important because it is true that you offer it to your children who…”.
Smiling, Anthony Delon then blurted out before bursting out laughing: “You saw my dictionit's starting to go a bit wrong there.”. While the journalist Thibaut Gauthier assured him that he understood everything very well, he replied: “Yes but I feel…”before continuing and specifying: “Your children, you pass this on to them, there is a price. And they will pass it on to their children…”.
Anthony Delon: “We have to leave him alone now”
In The Last Delon Mysteries – All His Secrets, Bernard Violet interfered in the intimate life of the cinema legend. In an interview with Le Parisien, he then said: “Alain Delon was bisexual, at least during the first thirty years of his life. A free character and wildly ambitious, he lived his bisexuality probably out of taste and also with a hint of careerism. (…) But taking into account its time and status,
the actor's bisexuality was impossible to reveal“.
Asked about this on Figaro TV, Anthony Delon said:
“I'm not going to echo this because that would be a disservice to the person who wrote it. Why would I give them this gift?”before adding: “He's gone, we have to leave him alone now, we have to stop 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.”.
