French star Alain Delon’s rise to fame and decades-long career • FRANCE 24 English
French film legend Alain Delon, a divisive star known to some as a sex symbol and to others as an egotistical chauvinist, has died aged 88, his children announced Sunday. The actor, known for his roles in classics “Purple Noon” (1960) and “Le Samourai” (1967), died in the early hours of the morning, his son Anthony told AFP. He had been suffering with lymphoma.

But he had to learn to lip-sync English to get to where he's at
Legend rest in peace🫡
An international legend. He ended up sad and actually lonely . He started his acting career also sad. He never seemed able to over come the hardship of his up bringing. Bless his soul.
Great actor. Great man who loved his family and the important things in life. Yes, he was controversial at times, but all in all he stood no nonsense and was a very kind gentleman. Watch his interviews, that smile, his passions, you get to know he had good philosophies, loved his acting career and his fellow actors, namely Gabin and Ventura, Romy Schneider and Mirelle Darc, Dalida, as well as many others. His death wasn't totally unexpected though. But he was one of those 'one a million', regarding looks, talent, mannerisms. Great films and great personality. God bless him for eternity
One of the greatest actors of the 20th century. RIP.
RIP greatest french actor ever
RIP
My idol never dies ! He just passed away ! Love !
only sofia loren and deneuve remain of the great European stars
Alain Delon died adored by many if not worshiped but ALONE! Nobody can understand the life and the fame one endured to be as famous as he was but at the end it all came down to money and the fightings between the kids and family members to establish and prove who was the closest and deserved more of his money while he died alone!!!
Rest in peace, Charmeur! Rocco and his brothers, Adventurers, Purple Noon, and many more of your great acting (and singing) will stay in our memory forever.
No mention of his true loves, his many dogs? I believe he owned around 50 during his life and they were all buried on his land.
Most of his fans have Alzheimer's now.
Be happy for him he's now released from an old sick body
And in Alain Delons words
He had "lost his face" ( meaning his good looks) he was old and sick and now he's free ….
Rest In Peace Alain Delon (1935 – 2024).
The greatest French movie star.
So he was a killer in Vietnam?
My tribute with this title on YouTube Alain DELON : UN IMMENSE ACTEUR. 6 films sur ma musique.

No way. I JUST watched Le Samourai two days ago! RIP
2 massive French legends and world treasures have passed away recently. Delon and before him Francoise Hardy.
R.I.P. 8 November 1935 – 18 August 2024—
Legend I heard about through mom. RIP.
Also the smiths album cover the queen is dead has him in it. But now the queen is dead and he is dead too. He also stressed the importance of the face as a form of expreessive intellect.
