French cinema icon Alain Delon has died at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable performances and a controversial personal life. Delon’s children announced his passing on Sunday, revealing that he died peacefully at his home in Douchy, surrounded by family.
Delon’s career spanned over six decades, with notable roles in “Purple Noon” (1960) and “Le Samourai” (1967). He was a divisive figure, admired by many for his talent and criticized by others for his perceived ego and treatment of women.
French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to Delon, calling him a “French monument” who “played legendary roles and made the world dream.” Fellow actress Brigitte Bardot described him as leaving a “huge void that nothing and no one will be able to fill.”
Delon’s personal life was marred by controversy, including allegations of domestic violence and a public feud with his children over his health and well-being. Despite this, he remained a beloved figure in French cinema, and his passing has sparked an outpouring of tributes and condolences.
