This time, he really “went all out”. Bernard Violet publishes “Les Derniers Mystères Delon” this November 14. All its secrets revealed” (Ed. Robert Laffont, 680 pages, 25 euros), a biography of the star who died on August 18. These 680 pages are the result of an investigation begun thirty years ago and strewn with pitfalls. In 1998, Alain Delon himself wanted to ban “Les Mystères Delon”. The work was finally published to become a bestseller (100,000 copies), but Bernard Violet had to “skip a lot of information” on the advice of a lawyer. “Either because they were linked to the double life of the Samurai, or because they did not contain enough tangible evidence,” he explains today.
Since then, the 75-year-old journalist and writer has continued his research and conducted other interviews – more than 100 in total. In “The Last Delon Mysteries”, the one who also signed biographies of Johnny Hallyday, Catherine Deneuve, Jamel Debbouze, Abbé Pierre or Gérard Depardieu therefore reveals “all” his revelations about the interpreter of “Plein Soleil”. Particularly on his sexuality or on the Marković affair.
