Alain Delon, once hailed as one of the most handsome men in the world, now lives a secluded life after suffering a stroke in 2019. The 88-year-old French actor, renowned for his captivating performances in “Flic Story” and “Purple Noon,” resides in his sprawling estate, La Brûlerie, surrounded by a 1.4-mile stone wall.
Behind the tranquility of his home, a bitter feud brews among his three children. His sons, Anthony and Alain-Fabien, and daughter, Anouchka, have publicly disputed over their father’s assets, drawing media attention.
Alain’s lawyer, Christophe Ayela, has urged the siblings to cease their squabbles, emphasizing, “It has to stop… Everyone needs to calm down.” Complicating matters is Alain’s openly acknowledged favoritism towards Anouchka, confessing, “I have a daughter who is the love of my life, perhaps a little too much with regard to the others.”
Anouchka recently shared a heartfelt tribute to her father on Instagram, showcasing his “handsome” and “vivid” spirit. Fans and fellow actors, including Gilles Marini, responded with affectionate messages.
Amidst the familial tension, Alain’s children have united to ensure his well-being and finances are secure. In March, they requested a “reinforced curatorship,” granting a curator oversight of Alain’s assets and medical requirements.
Alain’s legacy remains untouched, with a storied career spanning decades. He aspires to make one final film, potentially his best work yet. Reflecting on his past, Alain reminisced, “In my life, what I loved most was being Alain Delon, the actor Alain Delon.”
The French icon’s enduring charm and allure have earned him the title of “most seductive man in cinema” at 25. Compared to Brigitte Bardot, the iconic “It” girl, Alain’s captivating presence has left an indelible mark on the silver screen.
As Alain navigates his reclusive life, his children’s feud, and his own health struggles, his legacy continues to inspire admiration and devotion from fans worldwide.
