New revelations about Alain Delon, three months after his death. The French actor died on August 18. This Thursday, November 14, a new biography on him is released at the initiative of biographer Bernard Violet, entitled The Last Mysteries Delon all his secrets revealeda new version of the one published in 2000: Delon Mysteries. And this time he says “All“, unlike the previous time when he had to remove certain passages on the advice of a lawyers.
And among his secrets: the bisexuality of Alain Delon. If he did not find men who claimed to have a relationship with him, Bernard Violet reveals numerous testimonies about the actor's sexuality. The journalist and writer gave an interview to our colleagues at Le Parisien and said more.
“Testimonies from credible personalities”
This is one of the passages that is already being talked about a lot, even before the official release of the book. Alain Delon bisexual? He claims to have had several testimonies to this effect. Speaking to the daily, Bernard Violet declared: “These testimonies agree and make me think that Delon was bisexual, at least during the first thirty years of his life. They overlap and come from credible personalities. Several minutes of the Markovic affair also mention it, in a somewhat crude manner. Romy Scheneider herself had confided it to one of her best friends.” he declares.
Before continuing: “What is striking in the story of Alain Delon's beginnings is the omnipresence of gays, in the cinema or in the press. We can cite his agent Georges Beaume and most of the journalists he frequented. A free character with crazy ambition, the actor lived his bisexuality probably out of taste and also a hint of careerism. I think that the rebel that he was explored everything in terms of sexuality, with women, with men or in threesomes..”
Alain Delon “denied his youth”?
Alain Delon is also known for his love stories with Romy Schneider, Nathalie Delon and Mireille Darc and even had declared in 2013 that homosexuality was “unnatural“.
For Bernard Violet, “this declaration was that of an old reactionary who denied his youth, during which he was more tolerant. In 1969, in Le Nouvel Observateur, when Olivier Todd questioned him about the bisexual inclinations that some attributed to him, Delon replied: “If I wanted to have affairs with men, what would I be guilty of? In love, everything is permitted.” At the same time, given his time and status, the actor's bisexuality was impossible to reveal.”
A subject far too taboo for the time. In the 1950s/1960s, this would not have happened… Which will surprise no one sinceEven today, in 2024, numerous homophobic attacks are taking place in France and in many countries, homosexual relationships are completely prohibited.
