Alain Delon no longer drinks double bourbon
Alain Delon, the last superstar of the golden age of French cinema and one of the iconic film actors for the boomer generation in continental Europe and, thanks to Soviet film distribution policies, also in the former USSR, has died at the age of 88.
Once called the most handsome man in European cinema, Delon was someone many men dreamed of being and someone many women longed to be by their side. For the French, Delon remains the embodiment of the cinematic macho man who captivated Europe during the revolutionary 1960s. He captivated audiences in such cinematic masterpieces as "The Leopard," "Rocco and His Brothers," "Farewell, Friend!" and others. His film portrayals weren't just roles—they were true symbols of the era, reflections of aspirations and hopes.

The last years of Alain Delon were filled with physical torment. The artist had cancer - diffuse lymphoma and Alzheimer's disease. In 2019, he suffered a double stroke. Delon has repeatedly stated that euthanasia is the best solution for him.


The final tragedy starring Delon was the breakup of his family . The actor's three acknowledged children publicly quarreled and nearly cursed each other. Anthony Delon, the actor and son of Alain's first wife, Nathalie, accused his younger half-sister, Anoushka, of lying and intrigue in an interview with Paris-Match, claiming she concealed the results of their father's cognitive tests.
Anushka, the daughter of Alain’s second wife, Dutch model Rosalie van Breemen, launched a counterattack, saying that her and Anthony’s father “can no longer tolerate the aggressive behavior of his son, who constantly insists that he [the father] is out of his mind.” After which the brother and sister once again publicly insulted each other on French TV,
Then, on his brother’s side, the actor’s third child, Anushka’s brother and Anthony’s half-brother, 29-year-old Alain-Fabien, intervened in the conflict. He published a secretly made recording on Instagram, in which (according to him) Anushka whispered some nasty things to her father about her brothers. It all ended with mutual lawsuits related to the treatment of Delon, who suffered a stroke in 2019.
