The legend of French cinema, heartthrob of millions, and timeless icon of male beauty, Alain Delon, passed away at the age of 89. His son shared the final video of his weakened but ever-resilient father.

Not long ago, Alain suffered a stroke, and the final years of his life were marked by a battle with cancer. It was no secret that the legend of France longed for euthanasia.

“I have the right to slip away quietly,” Delon had lamented. Alain’s children shared how their legendary father departed. According to his daughter, Anouchka Delon, Alain fell into an eternal sleep at his home, surrounded by his children and loved ones. “I’ve been crying all morning,” “Men like him don’t exist anymore and never will again,” “A handsome man, a great actor,” “His name became a symbol,” “He was a wonderful person,” “Rest in peace, great man,”

“I don’t know anyone more beautiful,” “An era has come to an end,” “It hurts to now speak of him in the past tense,” “How I loved this man,” “Goodbye, Alain,” “Farewell, legend,”

“A tremendous loss,”— under the final images of Alain Delon. See you under this post, friends.
