The Advocate Post: The actor was a star of the golden era of French cinema, known for his tough-guy persona on screen in hits including The Samurai and Borsalino.

Delon has been a total recluse and in terrible health for the past few years. His family’s disintegration had made news in France more recently. 

A “huge void that nothing and no-one will be able to fill” was left by Delon’s passing, according to Brigitte Bardot, who led the tributes in France.

Delon, who played in popular 1960s films such as The Leopard and Rocco and his Brothers, was sometimes referred to as the most attractive guy in cinema history. Whether he was portraying a murderer or a charming con artist, he always won over the hearts of his audience.
During his career, he produced about ninety pictures in all. Among those praising Delon on Sunday was French President Emmanuel Macron, who stated that the actor “played legendary roles and made the world dream.” 

He went on to say, “Melancholy, popular, secretive, he was more than a star: he was a French monument,” in a statement posted on X, the previous Twitter platform.

“Alain Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, and (his dog) Loubo are deeply saddened to announce the passing of their father,” his family stated in a statement.He died quietly in his Douchy home, surrounded by his family and his three children.”

Liberation praised Delon as “a leading figure of cinema, symbol of shadowy masculinity, the actor with crazy charisma,” while Le Parisienlabeled him “a legend of the cinema.”

Brigitte Bardot claimed that Delon “represented the best of France’s ‘prestige cinema'” in a statement to the AFP news agency. “A representative of grace, brilliance, and beauty. I lose a companion, a friend, and my alter ego.”
