Two decades later, Bernard Violet, author of books on Mylène Farmer, Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Jacques Goldman, reveals inThe Last Delon Mysteries – all his secrets revealed

expanded with new testimonies, the alleged bisexuality of the legend of French cinema. Passages that some speakers asked the writer to“keep secrets until the star dies” specified Bernard Violet in the Parisian . If he has not collected any stories of a man having experienced a romance with the hero of Full sun (1960), the writer, who was not close to the actor, collected several similar stories.

“These testimonies agree and make me think that Delon was bisexual, at least during the first thirty years of his life,” he assured the daily newspaper. They overlap and come from credible personalities.”

“He explored everything about sexuality” A theory that would confirm “several minutes of the Markovic affair” – these evoking, according to him, “sometimes a little crude way” the actor's supposed bisexuality. “Romy Schneider herself had confided it to one of her best friends,” he continued. A free character with wild ambition, the actor lived his bisexuality probably out of taste and also with a hint of careerism. I think that the rebellious person that he was explored everything in terms of sexuality, with women, with men or in threesomes.”

A liberated sexuality that the actor would have tried to hide for a long time. “In 1969, in the Nouvel Observateur, when Olivier Todd questioned him about the homosexual inclinations that some attributed to him, Delon replied: “If I wanted to have adventures with men, what would I be like? guilty? In love, everything is permitted,” recalled Bernard Violet. At the same time, given his time and status, the actor's bisexuality was impossible to reveal. According to the author, Alain Delon would have wanted to ban the publication of his biography in 1998 because of its synopsis. A summary which“mentioned his relationships, over several years, with Daniel Guérin, libertarian writer and homosexual activist”

specified Bernard Violet. According to the author, Alain Delon would also have“been the target of “sex-Polaroid” blackmail, led by Markovic ( Stevan Markovicformer Yugoslav handyman for the Delon couple, found murdered in 1968, Editor's note) . “A photo in which we saw the actor having an orgy with a young prostitute,” he explained. But neither Delon nor his entourage were the type to give in. Presumably, his friend the middle boss François Marcantoni was responsible for giving the Yugoslav a correction that went wrong.”A work in which Bernard Violet also evokes the conflict between the actor's children, affirming that“by favoring his daughter, he blew up the clan”
