Who cares???? Why do we always have to stick our noses into other peoples' pants? For heaven's sake every aspect of their lives is PRIVATE and therefore nobody's concern.....not even ours!!!
He was straight 100% and a "bad" boy, because he was extremely handsome doesn't mean he wasn't straight, since when handsome equals homosexual? i don't care what he was , it was his business but Alain was always the ladies man and he was a true legend
👏👏👏 que les gays arrêtent de tout s approprier quand ca les arrange!!! Les hommes étaient peu être amoureux de lui mais lui était amoureux des femmes ! Il est l incarnation de l homme Francais typique de ces années la beauté et le charisme et l élégance en plus c' est tout et ce n est pas réservé aux gay il me semble! Faut arrêter les conneries ! James Dean était gay, ca oui!
That guy had style, looks, character, an icon, and a great actor. If he was gay or not, it is his personal life and it has no interest to anyone to know. Celebrate his achievements in Cinema and beyond - RIP. Respect his life.
Nowadays, there is no famous charismatic man in show business who is not rumored to have been gay. In fact, he was so handsome that probably not only women were attracted to him, but that doesn't make him gay. R.I.P. Alain Delon, you will be missed.
As a boy. Growing up. In the 60. S. There was no Man. Who could even hold a candle 🕯️ to his charisma and Beauty. I remember buying his cologne. It smelled. As beautiful as he was
The man was a legend and the most handsome man to ever exist and loved and admired by every woman in the world 🌎 and the fools are trying to make him bisexual ffs
Alain Delon possessed a handsomeness that veered towards the pretty, without ever seeming weak. With looks so dashing and debonair as his, there may have been countless opportunities to engage carnally with either of the sexes, but, back then in the 60's, things about sex and sexual attraction were hush-hush. Today its all out in the open and no one gives a damn about who is sleeping with whom. Its the moment that counts and then its all forgotten.
I don't think things are so open nowadays. Maybe among younger generations. I think society can still be very homophobic and cruel, and many people still choose to live in the closet. It really depends on the circles you're in and the location. And even then you will be surprised by the amount of fear and how conservative people can be. Things are still better than ever.
Judging from his life-story, I do not believe that Alain had any sort of gay proclivities. Every time I see snapshots of his gorgeous face, I feel James Dean is looking back at me. The resemblance is uncanny. His face was made for the camera and the camera caressed every angle of his face. His affairs with various women was legion, but the one true love of his life was the very charming, Romy Schneider who died early. He flitted from woman to woman hoping to find that spark he shared with Romy, but he just didn't find it. Despite the intemperate lifestyle that he lived, at 88 years, he still alive and kicking.
Wish that were true. In many places in the USA you can be fired, thrown out of home or beaten or killed. Look at some republican congress members who want to make sodomy illegal. Yes it's happening. Gay bashing is in thw rise in the USA.
Supposedly when he walked into a crowded restaurant, the entire dining room fell silent, as all eyes watched him enter. During that silence, glasses and plates could be heard breaking in the kitchen, as staff clamored to stare at him thru the portals of the swing doors. His looks were exquisite, so much so, never a bad word is said about him.
Alain Delon was a DRUG no one man or woman could get enough of. He appealed to everyone who could appreciate his talents. He was God's gift of male beauty to the world.
@@michaelpatrick7888 i personally think this actor leaves me indifferent about switching men-women interest is a flexibility that most of humans have .. some discovery that early some later some have a period of just one sexuality some are just not interested .. BUT THE REALITY is hidden inside of us i mean : when a str8 watch a str8 porn unconsciously where does he focus his interest ? or might be that a periferic sight might unconsciously rise his excitement ? we will never now right now.. and a str even if he focus , or unconsciously get stimulate on dicks as side effect of watching porn , will never admit ... i think we are mostly bisexual and each of us has an attraction more to one life or the other is a fact that sex with a men ( talking of males ) is more suitable for men that etero sex men knows how male sexuality works and what to do to please no ruffled reaction if someone says no to something .. in my case when i see how some males act while having sex i realize am not as much willing to do some things like many males do i am more for soft sex .. we r all different
He never appealed to me! Not one bit! At 22 in 2024, I have no regard for him whatever like certain other old time stars like Gregory Peck, James Dean, Tab Hunter or even a Burt lancaster. My opinion!
@@peterdevita6308 exactly Gregory Peck such a man !and there were many others quite attractive AD has something wrong in his mouth and nose, his son the same.. nice eyes both but nothing outstanding
Why would we care if he was gay?! It amazes me that we still think we have the right to know everyone's sexual orientation. He was a good actor and great to look at. PERIOD.
@@RonMeece uh, he had several children and spent his entire adult life involved with a series of women... Somehow that doesn't seem like a positive gay role model
And that’s why we loved him because he was French. His French accent in English and Italian, vague as it was, was still a joy...❤ Nobody compares to him because nobody was like him and nobody will ever be… they don’t make them that way any more… RIP Alain Delon, I’m glad I had the chance to be your contemporary. Thank you for everything. 🙏🙏🙏
The fact is that no man has ever come out saying he has been with Delon sexually or had a relationship with him. Delon has been famous since the 50s and you would think that by now to substantiate the rumors, since it’s totally acceptable now, a man or men would have come out admitting to it by now? No man ever has! It means he’s straight. Everyone needs to stop speculating about someone’s sexuality simply because they want it to be something it is not. Not all handsome men want to be with men. This particular extraordinarily handsome man wanted and was with women only.
Ha,ha. In your dreams. Homosexuality was and still is the ultimate taboo. Not even the gays will admit to it. Delon had a mirror. He had no yearning for a mere woman. There is not a woman alive or dead that has 1/10th of his beauty.
He's a terrific actor & extremely handsome. It's a shame he never became famous in the United States. He is a very successful business man. He is not only famous in Europe, but in Japan too.
@@lapislazuli7876no it's NOT. He might have been a public figure but that does not give you any rights over him. There is something called respect and common decency that the public should adhere to.....or would YOU like to have every Tom, Dick and Harry's noses in YOUR pants???
Sadly Alain Delon just passed away. RIP .....He was a HUGE dog & cat lover. Yet he had issues like denying a son was his yet his parents were rasing him. He hit women too. But lots of Toxic Masculinity fuckers did in those days. He might had been Bisexual yet not gay.
In his youth, at his peak I believe he was the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Is he gay/bi? I'm sure he was approached by both sexes but frankly, his orientation and sexual practices are none of my business.
Is beauty like that a secret curse? OK, I'm a realist, it oils the way and he was adored and vastly successful. But....but..it spoiled him and now, I wonder if he really wants to leave because his beauty has forever gone. Unlike, Bardot, whose passion for animals gives her a busy life, Delon seems to have lost his will to live. A shame. He should have the blessing of a wonderful family and to be surrounded by his adoring grandchildren. Beauty isn't everything....
Beautiful skin, lovely hair, a strapping frame, but it's the eyes that seal the deal......he captured admirers with a with an angelic gaze and delivered the goods 🤩
Who wrote this had probably wished he was gay. Such a beautiful face and structure. No wonder. Lots of men were crazy about him. He was definitely a ladies man! And quite prolific at that!!❤❤❤
In France, the sex lives of anyone, are not discussed in public or private. It's like discussing what brand of sneakers or shoes a person wears. In America, this sex inquiry, sells millions of magazines, books, and Hollywood themed TV shows. Just one reason why most foreigners think Americans are , rude, crass, and rumor mongers,
Stop tarnishing his name, he was a man in the truest sense of the word. Let him rest in peace and let us honor his memory as it deserves. R.I.P. Alain Delon 💔💔💔💔
Who cares about Alain's sex life??? This is not any business. Alain Delon is the Best and Great Actor in the World, He is Unique, He is the most hadsome men in the World, and wonderful person. He is very, very talented!!!!! I have big respect for Alain Delon. Alain, thank you very much for being here and I wish you excellent health and long, long, long life!!!!
In the 60's, Delon was the hottest man in movies (James Dean a close second), and on my top 10 of most gorgeous men who ever lived. It would have been a sinful waste he wasn't at least bisexual.
No it would not be a 'sinful waste' because sexual perversion is a sin and abnormal. What you're so vulgar to be celebrating is just a lie told to you by whoever runs this channel.
@@sarahgodwin-xd1wr Norma Bengell, brazilian actress, narrated in her memoirs, shortly before her death, that she had a brief torrid affair with Alain Delon in 1962, when she was filming the movie "Mafioso" in Sicily and Alain was filming "The Leopard". She said that Alain Delon was very narcissistic and libertine and one day he invaded her hotel room, grabbed her from behind and practically r@p3d her. She said that Delon even asked her to marry him, but she denied it because she said he was very "homemrengo" (someone addicted to sleeping with men).
@@omi685 it is not your business too. It works both ways . His first son he has refused to recognize died like an animal . Even his own Mother adopted her great son because her son Alain refused to do so .
Monsieur Delon rest in peace. You said you had had enough of this ugly world in your old years and wanted to die. I don't blame you, it is ugly. Especially when they speculate about your private life. You were beauty itself, the definition of it. And a male as today's males cannot imagine or compare. I loved you since I was very young and you were about 3O when I first saw a picture of you. We all loved you. And we will never be over our love for you.
He was bisexual if you pay attention to his movies and his past interviews as well the way he made it , is very obvious, he was in fact openly bisexual with the people in his circle , in an enterview when he was 50 he said straight from his mouth about if he was gay or not :" I am comfortable in my skin , just not in front of everyone " his manager George Beaume lived with him while he lived with Romy Schneider and his wife Natalie .
Watching again. At 63 a Californian never seen this beauty. Absolutely gorgeous. The French are not known for films. This guy could have taken Hollywood. He tried but failed. Too bad
It seems to be vox populi in certain circles that the reason for the breakup between Alain Delon and Romy Schneider is that she found him in bed with another man. Whether this is true or not, we will never know. In fact, despite their breakup, they remained friends until the death of the actress. There is also talk that he let himself be loved by Visconti at the beginning of his career. Rumors, rumors. I particularly doubt he was gay, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't mind having explored other sexual options. His ego was too big not to be seduced from one side or the other.
Romy Schneider was a lesbian. Delon is at the very least bisexual. Romy and Alain were at the height of their careers during a time when France and Italy were intensely homophobic. They were the perfect cover for each other.
@joanmadou Who knows. What is certain is that Alain Delon is bisexual. When Luchino Visconti met Helmut Berger, with whom he had a crush, although Berger was not so much, Visconti was depressed about ending his relationship with Delon, whom he said had been the love of his life.
I read recently that there is contention over his money between his relatives and carers. He is now elderly and in need of constant care. Also there was no mention of the film were he is full frontal naked for several scenes. Original title “ Dr in the nude”.
It does matter. That we are left to wonder. At some level Delon must have been aware that his desirability was predicated upon a certain mystery. Charm is by its nature androgynous, and charisma scintillates. Answering the question about rumors regarding his erotic exposure as ambiguously as possible, neither affirming nor denying them, fed his allure. He was not a Scorpio for nothing.
an italian actress, who was said to have a flirt with him, told he was more interested in her boyfriend than to her! lo... anyway he is the most handsome man of all times
That's what a lot of women say when they can't attract a certain guy. It's like when guys get blown off by a girl and they say she must be a lesbian . Who cares ?

I'm all too certain knowing these great stars that they do want to try EVERYTHING and that includes different experiences with sex. It was the case with so many great stars, both female and malle!
When he started he had a short relation with an older french actress who helped him start as an actor. There were too different, the relation didn’t last. When breaking up Delon said he would succeed « whatever it takes ». I don’t think he was homosexual. Maybe in these younger years he didn’t hesitate to be the object of desire from men and women, just to get his way to success. In the 60s actor Helmut Berger accused Delon of stealing L.Visconti from him. The movie and theatre director gave Delon one of his first major break. And Berger added « I admit he was a handsome man at one time, but always calculating ».
Never heard of it, but I see his natural beauty, , beautiful hair, no tattoos, no earrings, loving women, and being loved by women, stop speculating, irreplaceable Alain Delon, talented and beautiful, Rest in Peace and Love 💕🙏
Muchos aspirantes a actores deben pasar por muchas cosas para conseguir la fama y la fama hay que pagarla el tenía muchas cosas que lo hacían único era bello muy hermoso
Alain Delon’s good looks lie in his genes. One can eat correctly, exercise regularly and sleep a great deal, however…..if the raw material is ugly, no amount of the above would make him handsome! Of course, he took good care of his body but if he had had piggy eyes and a moon face, (which he did not have), nothing could have made him look so gorgeous. He was lucky because his beautiful genes conquered all.
Oh God LEAVE HIM ALONE ! Let him Rest In Peace. If he wanted people to know if he was bi-sexual or whatever - he would have. Let him keep his private life private. Jeez.
I so wish...those dearly departed...would return from the Dead & Haunt the People that continue to dig up their lives ....like THIS. Haunt in the most scary & horrifying way... .till their last breath.
A friend of mine met him who lives in Geneva and Delon was incredibly rude for no reason.....this is not the only account of rudeness in Geneva where I live.
Actually I do in the incident involving my friend. He simply wanted to get into the elevator acting perfectly politely and Delon told him to "F... off". That is the context. @@johnny-mnemonic13
his beauty gave him the foot in the door, the public created him, what else could he have done? the revealations of these videos show that he broke a lot hearts and lives, to me that shows that he was restless and most of his true desires were not fulfilled
Uh-oh ! And NEXT it is to be Lloyd Bridges? IS there no relief from the parade of the disappointing? (Or, from the reassuring, depending on one's own position vis-à-vis?) We'll be tuning in next time to find out!
He answered this question a few years ago. he told where he got this nonsense about his homosexuality from. Visconti's lover was jealous of him for Alain and came up with the rumor that Delon was sleeping with Visconti for roles. An idiot, as Alain said.
Perfect timing. In the last 2 weeks I watched Mr Klein and the Red Circle. Delon had a bad start in life but fate graced him very handsome looks which he got lucky. Apart from Michelle Pfeiffer I have not heard of someone plucked from obscurity simply based on their looks. The other beautiful people chased fame, looks like it was handled down to Delon. He was a good actor but so far Inthe 2 films I saw him in he just played stoic cool which is pretty easy to do.
@@awashhyzo And Ava Gardner didn't at first chase after stardom. Her brother-in-law owned a photographic studio on a major street in NYC and put in his window a pic he had made of Ava back in No. Carolina. An MGM executive in NYC saw it, inquired about her and arranged for her to come to NYC for a screen test. She was soon on her way to Hollywood
My apologies in advance, I'm super dyslexic,there will be mistakes. Helmut Berger was my godfather, I remember being in a restaurant in Paris & Delon came in with a group,most of whom seemed to know Berger,this would have been in the mid 70s. The two of them were like a pair of petulant children & though both of the groups joined up,they quite literally blanked each other sitting as far apart as possible. From what I knew & was told by Berger & my mother Delon had put the moves on Berger's partner ,the great Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti,they might even have lived together before Berger, who was openly bisexual moved in for a long affair with Visconti.Berger bedded Delons wife/girlfriend to spite him. But in those days anyone who was anyone was a bit or a lot bisexual! Think Jagger & Bowie; many times it would include a woman ,in the J&B situation, this was confirmed by a singer Ava Cherry who's on record as saying she was in bed with them both on multiple occasions, but really just played the spectator, while the two of them got it on together. Berger & Delon were total opposites & were really not in competition, but the Visconti thing set up a longterm feud. Berger accused Delon of getting his young son 6 or 7 at the time to write to Visconti to get back into his favour. Delon definitely proved his 'swimmers' worked by have 3 children that were acknowledged but also rumours of others by various women who were neither one of his 3 wives. His history with women is problematic at best & abusive at worst - though one of the last 'monstres sacrés' of French/European cinema - he has admitted publicly to slapping women. He may have said what you quoted regarding being gay,but,is also on record as saying homosexuality was unnatural. Though in a later interview supported gay marriage but was opposed to them having rights to adopt children. I was very lucky to have such an amazing childhood, my mother had many connections to show business. At one point we lived in Westport,Connecticut, with Bette Davis as a neighbour - she let me actout the cigarette scene from "Now Voyager". I would have been 10,any loved lighting cigarettes for the "grownups" Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward live further up from us & many times I, with my parents, would be at a BBQ at their home, with Hollywood "Royalty" in attendance. One memorable occasion Rock Hudson turned up in drag with a beautiful black man on each arm! Paul Newman is another beautiful man,who had an arrangement with his wife,allowing him affairs with men like Delon,he had the most incredible eyes. I'm not just simply name dropping,but trying to explain a culture pre social media & everyone having not just a still camera with them 24/7, but,also the ability to film & distribute their own little movies,for the most part to the detriment of the famous subjects. It was also a very serious business, with people whose sole job was covering up actors "problematic" sex/private lives,this went for women,too. What happened in Hollywood /the USA,was mirrored in Europe, where it was probably 100% more decadent! Delon like my godfather were "products" that were carefully managed/presented to the hetronormative masses as aspirational figures/lifestyles, those who are remembered to the point of Iconic were really tough ruthlessly ambitious people, who would do anything to get to & stay at "The Top". If you were beautiful, you could come from povery - in many cases - & attain money & a lifestyle,making you so rich,the world was quite literally yours. Trying to define people by putting labels on them is futile and outing someone is repugnant,probably even more so after their death, when they can't defend themselves. I'm not being a hypocrite as I've mentioned nothing about anyone,which isn't in some form in the public domain. I think & have had many discussions over the last 50 years,that one of the reasons so many famous male actors got it on with other men,but,keep it secret was number one it was illegal & could destroy your career; number two, men are far more "wash & go" with regards to sex & even more importantly can't fall pregnant a situation that could also destroy your career & even your marriage, regardless that the marriage was for camouflage - sometimes on both sides - and is still a practice in todays supposedly freer,more open & equal society. One only has to look around the world & what many gay men in countries where equal right are enshrined in law & many of the younger generation take for granted, would result in death in 11 countries & imprisonment/hard core persecution in around 70 ( including the 11 with a death sentence)supposedly civilised societies for simply doing things that "straight" people take completely for granted. Alain Delon,was a product of his time : no one can take away the fact he was one of the most beautiful men in the world, but,like my much missed godfather who famously played Dorian Gray,there is no portrait in the attic; age & lifestyle choices eventually catch up with you,your body that was once capable of amazing feats,be they sexual or athletic fails you & age catches up with you. i Now 84 age hasn't been particularly kind to Delon,but,wow he must have had some fun,behind those doors that will forever stay closed/locked to the majority of people.
Agree with your observations, when I a late teen, I made friends with directors and producers from Mexico and Hollywood (L.A. born) and that time every actor I met through these men were gay, very few were bisexual and fewer still, straight. After having a couple flings with some actors that became household names in 90s, I began a long affair with my boss, a producer, that up to that time, had never been with a guy before and was interested in experimenting and later the wife was OK with it as long as she had the cash to shop, and that began the kind of decadent life that you mentioned. Big names from the past were mentioned at cocktail parties by family members and ex-partners alike, who was a transvestite or who a pedophile was frequently mentioned to my surprise at that innocent time of my life! Most reoccurring story was that Indeed Paul Newman was having affairs with men while his wife had them with women and that actors such Spencer Tracy, William Holden and Marcello Mastro...were closet cases. In my opinion most actors are whores, they would do anything for an opportunity in film or television and many actually did survive by selling their favors and just any peek at any acting classes anywhere, will open your eyes on just how gay is the acting world, and it hasn't change, at present I'm in the lives of quite a few men and women that coming out as gays or bisexuals would an end to their career, gorgeous people cannot take that kind of plunge when their being casted as romantic leads, character actors have successfully done that, but they were never a somebody's wet dream to begin with! One I always remember is that entertainers are just people and there's nothing really special about them, not a single one of them were the greatest I ever had and some were just plain weird , suffering from narcissisism, arrogance and deep sexual inadequate feelings about their bodies and methods and to that let's add drugs and booze, not something that left me or my friends with the best feelings about those in the limelight, but happily married to an auto-mechanic, the series man I've ever met!! ❤
I truly admire your godfather. He was extremely handsome and talented! he was amazing as Ludwig alongside Romy Schneder (also austrian like him) and as Marttin (in the Damned) both times directed by Visconti. I agree with you. All these great stars were "products" of their time... I think it was a magnificent era ...
@@afroditi5845 He was also very funny,when he wanted to be. Thanks for kind words,as I was only 6/7 when The Dammed was released & 7/8 when Dorian Gray came out,I'd obviously not seen them,though somewhere my mother has pics from set of both. During a trip to Paris in 77 or 78 we'd been at a dinner where people were talking about them & he very sweetly arranged a screening of both for me,During which he made little comments. Both he & my mother died earlier this year & I rewatched his films online, saving Dorian Gray,till last as my parents were extras,in the party scenes. Best wishes to you&yours.
@@hectormanuel9793 Thank you for your reply,confirming my observations, many people in no way associated with the business believe I'm just making it up; possibly because they believe the hype or just don't want to consider the ramifications, if extrapolated across all industries/life in general? I'm really happy you've found your forever partner,with you both all happiness & very best wishes to you&yours.
Wow thanks for sharing your fascinating stories. We idolize actors in our culture and imagine they have wonderful lives. But , really they are just people like the rest of us who live their lives in between work projects. Being a great actor/entertainer doesn’t necessarily make you a nice person. Plenty of actors who were great on screen, we’re not nice people. Plenty we’re great on screen and we’re nice people.
I don't know what is more disturbing, talking about Delon as if we can ascertain his sexuality one way or another since we haven't seen him "be gay" with anyone or the number of the guys in the comment section who say how beautiful Alan was if far more than the number of women who say how beautiful he was
...i remember him in a movie with Dean Martin but have never come across his name in dozens of books on hollywood......who cares about his personal life.....the guy is still alive go ask him if you think it is important
No doubt that Delon was very charming as we can see in the image of this video. You do not give lots of evidence that he could have been bisexual and you do not even mentioned the most important clue : his supposed relation with Luchino Visconti who was openly gay and allow Alain Delon to act in 3 great movies : Rocco et ses frères" (1960) - "Le Guépard" (Il Gattopardo)" (1963) - "La Caduta degli Dei" (1969) - he made him a star.
Well said. Its just another hit piece on a decent man because he is unapologetically a straight, normal, decent White and conservative French nationalist, and he hasn't changed a bit. That is why scum like this will use smear tactics. I am unsubscribing from this degenerate channel because many times they would outright lie just to push some left leaning, liberal hivemind agenda. I suggest other channels that talk old Hollywood with far more tact than this bozo.
Alain Delon hat the IT Factor so good looking and yes sexy , but he was and still is a strong willed individual . I just about viewed every Film he was in . I do not believe the rumors him being homosexual . They rumors were that Cary Grant was Homosexual so i gather that is just plain vain imagination . I am sure men admired them too .

He was not gay .His best mâle friend was though henné the rumeur. But he didn t care He loved women so much
He was straight 100% and a "bad" boy, because he was extremely handsome doesn't mean he wasn't straight, since when handsome equals homosexual? i don't care what he was , it was his business but Alain was always the ladies man and he was a true legend

He wasn't a good actor, his roles were tailored for him and the movies made money because he was in them. He only ever played "Delon plays Delon".
And typical, that the man's freshly dead and this crap comes on youtube.
Nowadays, there is no famous charismatic man in show business who is not rumored to have been gay. In fact, he was so handsome that probably not only women were attracted to him, but that doesn't make him gay. R.I.P. Alain Delon, you will be missed.
As a boy. Growing up. In the 60. S. There was no Man. Who could even hold a candle 🕯️ to his charisma and Beauty. I remember buying his cologne. It smelled. As beautiful as he was
Agreed, the man was just another level of beautiful. Out of this world beauty.
@@RizwanaMuzaffar-hz6hg Prime Zac Efron was 30% of his Beauty
The man was a legend and the most handsome man to ever exist and loved and admired by every woman in the world 🌎 and the fools are trying to make him bisexual ffs
Good point! ❤
I think Olivier was the most handsome man to ever exist. And boy could he act, which made him impossibly attractive.
Alain Delon possessed a handsomeness that veered towards the pretty, without ever seeming weak. With looks so dashing and debonair as his, there may have been countless opportunities to engage carnally with either of the sexes, but, back then in the 60's, things about sex and sexual attraction were hush-hush. Today its all out in the open and no one gives a damn about who is sleeping with whom. Its the moment that counts and then its all forgotten.
I don't think things are so open nowadays. Maybe among younger generations. I think society can still be very homophobic and cruel, and many people still choose to live in the closet. It really depends on the circles you're in and the location. And even then you will be surprised by the amount of fear and how conservative people can be. Things are still better than ever.
Judging from his life-story, I do not believe that Alain had any sort of gay proclivities. Every time I see snapshots of his gorgeous face, I feel James Dean is looking back at me. The resemblance is uncanny. His face was made for the camera and the camera caressed every angle of his face. His affairs with various women was legion, but the one true love of his life was the very charming, Romy Schneider who died early. He flitted from woman to woman hoping to find that spark he shared with Romy, but he just didn't find it. Despite the intemperate lifestyle that he lived, at 88 years, he still alive and kicking.
@@ianedwards4400 He was Luchino Visconti’s protege early in his career. 😉
Wish that were true. In many places in the USA you can be fired, thrown out of home or beaten or killed. Look at some republican congress members who want to make sodomy illegal. Yes it's happening. Gay bashing is in thw rise in the USA.
Delon was pretty but he was all man. When I saw Farewell Friend, I totally bought him going toe to toe with Charles Bronson.
I dunno, and couldn’t really care less about his sex life. He was great in every movie I’ve seen him in.
AMEN!!!!!!!
100% ❤
Dead right!
This brings to mind Twilight. Sex fantasies with geriatric men? No thank you, emphatically!
@jmad627 Thank you for your comment, sir, I agree with you.
Supposedly when he walked into a crowded restaurant, the entire dining room fell silent, as all eyes watched him enter. During that silence, glasses and plates could be heard breaking in the kitchen, as staff clamored to stare at him thru the portals of the swing doors. His looks were exquisite, so much so, never a bad word is said about him.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Alain Delon was a DRUG no one man or woman could get enough of. He appealed to everyone who could appreciate his talents. He was God's gift of male beauty to the world.
That he was, I agree! Loved him!
taste and flowers....😂😂😂
@@michaelpatrick7888 i personally think this actor leaves me indifferent
about switching men-women interest is a flexibility that most of humans have ..
some discovery that early some later some have a period of just one sexuality some are just not interested .. BUT THE REALITY is hidden inside of us
i mean : when a str8 watch a str8 porn unconsciously where does he focus his interest ?
or might be that a periferic sight might unconsciously rise his excitement ? we will never now right now.. and a str even if he focus , or unconsciously get stimulate on dicks as side effect of watching porn , will never admit ... i think we are mostly bisexual and each of us has an attraction more to one life or the other
is a fact that sex with a men ( talking of males ) is more suitable for men that etero sex
men knows how male sexuality works and what to do to please no ruffled reaction if someone says no to something ..
in my case when i see how some males act while having sex i realize am not as much willing to do some things like many males do
i am more for soft sex ..
we r all different
He never appealed to me! Not one bit! At 22 in 2024, I have no regard for him whatever like certain other old time stars like Gregory Peck, James Dean, Tab Hunter or even a Burt lancaster. My opinion!
@@peterdevita6308 exactly Gregory Peck such a man !and there were many others quite attractive
AD has something wrong in his mouth and nose, his son the same.. nice eyes both but nothing outstanding
Why would we care if he was gay?! It amazes me that we still think we have the right to know everyone's sexual orientation. He was a good actor and great to look at. PERIOD.
because it gives legitimacy to gay people, they need to be shown in a positive light, not hidden in the shadows period.
@@RonMeece uh, he had several children and spent his entire adult life involved with a series of women... Somehow that doesn't seem like a positive gay role model
yes probably bisexual.@@SFDestiny
@@SFDestiny and, had relationships with men. More power to his bisexuality!
@@caraqueno D'you know which men?
His sexual orientation is his personal business ; such a great actor ! 😊
One of the most gorgeous actors in the past. Whatever his orientation, we need to appreciate his works during his time.
I DO NOT SUPPORT SEXUAL DEVIANTS OR PERVERTS!
Does it matter? Whatever his sexual orientation, that was/is his business! God bless us all!!! Peace...🙏♐
do you hide your own sexual orientation? - are you afraid?
He wasn't gay, straight or bisexual. Just French.
Yours is the only adult comment in this thread - merci beaucoup.
And that’s why we loved him because he was French.
His French accent in English and Italian, vague as it was, was still a joy...❤
Nobody compares to him because nobody was like him and nobody will ever be… they don’t make them that way any more…
RIP Alain Delon, I’m glad I had the chance to be your contemporary.
Thank you for everything. 🙏🙏🙏
The fact is that no man has ever come out saying he has been with Delon sexually or had a relationship with him. Delon has been famous since the 50s and you would think that by now to substantiate the rumors, since it’s totally acceptable now, a man or men would have come out admitting to it by now? No man ever has! It means he’s straight. Everyone needs to stop speculating about someone’s sexuality simply because they want it to be something it is not. Not all handsome men want to be with men. This particular extraordinarily handsome man wanted and was with women only.
Ha,ha. In your dreams. Homosexuality was and still is the ultimate taboo. Not even the gays will admit to it. Delon had a mirror. He had no yearning for a mere woman. There is not a woman alive or dead that has 1/10th of his beauty.
He was not gay
Yeah because you were there behind the scenes with him🙄
bi, straight, or whatever, who cares. HE IS BEAUTIFUL.
He is beautiful.
He's a terrific actor & extremely handsome. It's a shame he never became famous in the United States. He is a very successful business man. He is not only famous in Europe, but in Japan too.
Famoso no mundo inteiro. Eu sou de uma pequena cidade da BAHIA-brasil....e conheço ALAIN DELON e Elvis desde que me entendo por gente gente ❤
And in China, Russia.... 🎉🎉
He was in The Yellow Rolls Royce, Texas Across the River, ....Purple Noon was an excellent movie.......also the western...Red Sun...
His sexuality is/was his own business, not ours...
If someone is a public figure then, it is our business too. Sorry.
@@lapislazuli7876no it's NOT. He might have been a public figure but that does not give you any rights over him. There is something called respect and common decency that the public should adhere to.....or would YOU like to have every Tom, Dick and Harry's noses in YOUR pants???
then why did you click on this video?
ypu post the same stuff under videos abou his relationships with nathalie or romy??you re not bothered about hetero stuff?
@@Angie-mm9rn so what about multiple videos about hetero relationships with women?
The man is still alive at 88 years old. Why are they discussing this man's sexuality.
Sadly Alain Delon just passed away. RIP .....He was a HUGE dog & cat lover. Yet he had issues like denying a son was his yet his parents were rasing him. He hit women too. But lots of Toxic Masculinity fuckers did in those days.
He might had been Bisexual yet not gay.
You know. Really?
RIP
He just passed 🙏
@@MegaPortenio🗼🎈♥️
In his youth, at his peak I believe he was the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Is he gay/bi? I'm sure he was approached by both sexes but frankly, his orientation and sexual practices are none of my business.
Actress Shirley McLain once said "Alain Delon and Elizabeth Taylor are the two prettiest things in the movies." At that time, she was probably right.
I think he may just have been prettier than Elizabeth Taylor!!
I love that quote!!!! 😍❤️🙂
Is beauty like that a secret curse? OK, I'm a realist, it oils the way and he was adored and vastly successful. But....but..it spoiled him and now, I wonder if he really wants to leave because his beauty has forever gone. Unlike, Bardot, whose passion for animals gives her a busy life, Delon seems to have lost his will to live. A shame. He should have the blessing of a wonderful family and to be surrounded by his adoring grandchildren. Beauty isn't everything....
What do has this to do with the subject?
@@saschacunliffe7383I know! I read that Alain Delon asked the French government for assistant suicide.
Beautiful skin, lovely hair, a strapping frame, but it's the eyes that seal the deal......he captured admirers with a with an angelic gaze and delivered the goods 🤩
And he had a good speaking voice, and charm. He was unique.
Who wrote this had probably wished he was gay. Such a beautiful face and structure. No wonder. Lots of men were crazy about him. He was definitely a ladies man! And quite prolific at that!!❤❤❤
The most gorgeous man on God's earth. Those magnetic green eyes !!! Great actor, no arrogance ever. --- HE WAS ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS!!!
Blue eyes.
Alain Delon will be missed! He was a wonderful personality with great looks!
In France, the sex lives of anyone, are not discussed in public or private. It's like discussing what brand of sneakers or shoes a person wears. In America, this sex inquiry, sells millions of magazines, books, and Hollywood themed TV shows. Just one reason why most foreigners think Americans are , rude, crass, and rumor mongers,
I think they're on to something. Get a grip.
And Americans sexually obsessed and repressed
He was in an investigation that concerned President Pompidou regarding orgies and sex parties…..I’m pretty sure they do talk about those things…..
LoL in France there is a lot of male and female writers that earn their living by writing books about their sex lives.
That's total BullShit. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who cares ? He was a terrific actor and certainly one of the most handsome men ever on the screen. Enough already.
Stop tarnishing his name, he was a man in the truest sense of the word. Let him rest in peace and let us honor his memory as it deserves.
R.I.P. Alain Delon 💔💔💔💔
Brava❤
Every celebrity is subject to gossip, that's for sure.
Never heard of his gay deeds, though he probably was chased by men and women equally:))))
I’m more shocked he hasn’t passed from lung cancer. Makes you think 🤔. Most smoking man ever.
Who cares about Alain's sex life??? This is not any business. Alain Delon is the Best and Great Actor in the World, He is Unique, He is the most hadsome men in the World, and wonderful person. He is very, very talented!!!!! I have big respect for Alain Delon. Alain, thank you very much for being here and I wish you excellent health and long, long, long life!!!!
The rare actor who gave 100% more with less words.
In the 60's, Delon was the hottest man in movies (James Dean a close second), and on my top 10 of most gorgeous men who ever lived. It would have been a sinful waste he wasn't at least bisexual.
This post is a lie. Alan Delon us not a homosexual
He's French. They screw everything.
No it would not be a 'sinful waste' because sexual perversion is a sin and abnormal. What you're so vulgar to be celebrating is just a lie told to you by whoever runs this channel.

Monsieur Delon rest in peace. You said you had had enough of this ugly world in your old years and wanted to die. I don't blame you, it is ugly. Especially when they speculate about your private life. You were beauty itself, the definition of it. And a male as today's males cannot imagine or compare. I loved you since I was very young and you were about 3O when I first saw a picture of you. We all loved you. And we will never be over our love for you.
I, without a single doubt ages with this above comment from @funnystuffonlym8201
Nicely said by you. He had it all; there will never be another like him.
Gorgeous man! Extraordinary actor.
Do you know why they say "only good about the dead"? Because they cannot defend themselves with accusations and evil gossip...
He was bisexual if you pay attention to his movies and his past interviews as well the way he made it , is very obvious, he was in fact openly bisexual with the people in his circle
, in an enterview when he was 50 he said straight from his mouth about if he was gay or not :" I am comfortable in my skin , just not in front of everyone " his manager George Beaume lived with him while he lived with Romy Schneider and his wife Natalie .
And if he was, who cares?! I'm gay and it's no one's business. Leave the man alone
I never heard of him so nice to hear alot about him.thank you.
I agree with that
Why are we so very interested whether anybody is homosexual or not.
How does that knowing affect us?
its none of our business anyway. live and let live
Delon best Delon Beautiful Great Actor. In the World. Very simple.
He is Real Man of the Man
Watching again. At 63 a Californian never seen this beauty. Absolutely gorgeous. The French are not known for films. This guy could have taken Hollywood. He tried but failed. Too bad
From what I’ve read, it wasn’t a secret, however, that was not the sort of thing people talked about then
He not a gay. Dont lie. He Is most Beautiful man.
I was a straight guy before I saw him
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It seems to be vox populi in certain circles that the reason for the breakup between Alain Delon and Romy Schneider is that she found him in bed with another man. Whether this is true or not, we will never know. In fact, despite their breakup, they remained friends until the death of the actress. There is also talk that he let himself be loved by Visconti at the beginning of his career. Rumors, rumors. I particularly doubt he was gay, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't mind having explored other sexual options. His ego was too big not to be seduced from one side or the other.
A Scorpio he was, after all! ♐
Romy Schneider was a lesbian. Delon is at the very least bisexual. Romy and Alain were at the height of their careers during a time when France and Italy were intensely homophobic. They were the perfect cover for each other.
@@AladdinSaneNYC He's not dead.
I imagine a man as handsome as that gets flirted with by scads of women and men too
@joanmadou Who knows. What is certain is that Alain Delon is bisexual. When Luchino Visconti met Helmut Berger, with whom he had a crush, although Berger was not so much, Visconti was depressed about ending his relationship with Delon, whom he said had been the love of his life.
First time I watch him on the movie Swimming pool, since then he is one of my idol.
How 21st century! "If I like it, I'll do it". he was certainly handsome enough to be a gay icon.
He was truly stunning.!
Goes to show how shallow gays are. So "looks" obsessed smh
That face! I remember watching him in "Rocco and his Brothers". Wow
This is an inelegantly speculation. What a shame that people creates this kind of content in order to get some “likes”.
I read recently that there is contention over his money between his relatives and carers. He is now elderly and in need of constant care. Also there was no mention of the film were he is full frontal naked for several scenes. Original title “ Dr in the nude”.
Certamente a beleza nua masculina mais linda 😂
He was like a demigod of French cinema.😮😮😮
It does matter. That we are left to wonder. At some level Delon must have been aware that his desirability was predicated upon a certain mystery. Charm is by its nature androgynous, and charisma scintillates. Answering the question about rumors regarding his erotic exposure as ambiguously as possible, neither affirming nor denying them, fed his allure. He was not a Scorpio for nothing.
an italian actress, who was said to have a flirt with him, told he was more interested in her boyfriend than to her! lo... anyway he is the most handsome man of all times
That's what a lot of women say when they can't attract a certain guy. It's like when guys get blown off by a girl and they say she must be a lesbian . Who cares ?

RIP ALAN DELON 18/8/2024 at 88 .
💖🔥💝
When he started he had a short relation with an older french actress who helped him start as an actor. There were too different, the relation didn’t last. When breaking up Delon said he would succeed « whatever it takes ». I don’t think he was homosexual. Maybe in these younger years he didn’t hesitate to be the object of desire from men and women, just to get his way to success. In the 60s actor Helmut Berger accused Delon of stealing L.Visconti from him. The movie and theatre director gave Delon one of his first major break. And Berger added « I admit he was a handsome man at one time, but always calculating ».
No i think he was mostly straight
"mostly" straight? Hmmmm .....
Lol mostly straight 😂, we called that bisexual too lol
He was too beautiful for anyone to resist, and it was a turn on for him He was sexual and that was his power
Oh come on! If you're a man as beautiful as him, it doesn't matter!
To summarize:
There were rumours.
Never heard of it, but I see his natural beauty, , beautiful hair, no tattoos, no earrings, loving women, and being loved by women, stop speculating, irreplaceable Alain Delon, talented and beautiful, Rest in Peace and Love 💕🙏
Who cares..he’s so beautiful.
Muchos aspirantes a actores deben pasar por muchas cosas para conseguir la fama y la fama hay que pagarla el tenía muchas cosas que lo hacían único era bello muy hermoso
Exactly you have to play ball with certain people
Alain Delon’s good looks lie in his genes. One can eat correctly, exercise regularly and sleep a great deal, however…..if the raw material is ugly, no amount of the above would make him handsome! Of course, he took good care of his body but if he had had piggy eyes and a moon face, (which he did not have), nothing could have made him look so gorgeous. He was lucky because his beautiful genes conquered all.
Oh God LEAVE HIM ALONE ! Let him Rest In Peace. If he wanted people to know if he was bi-sexual or whatever - he would have. Let him keep his private life private. Jeez.
Who cares? What a stunning man!
He loved women and women loved him. Gay men loved him and he loved women.
There is just a rumour concerning him and Visconti. No proof whatsoever.
Делон же сам заявлял, что ему не нравятся эти новые веяния гей- союзов и напоминал, что существуют мужчины и женщины
I so wish...those dearly departed...would return from the Dead & Haunt the People that continue to dig up their lives ....like THIS.
Haunt in the most scary & horrifying way... .till their last breath.
A friend of mine met him who lives in Geneva and Delon was incredibly rude for no reason.....this is not the only account of rudeness in Geneva where I live.
Delon is human. We dont know the context.
Actually I do in the incident involving my friend. He simply wanted to get into the elevator acting perfectly politely and Delon told him to "F... off". That is the context. @@johnny-mnemonic13

out!
He's still alive. If you want to know if he's gay why don't you just ask him?
He answered this question a few years ago. he told where he got this nonsense about his homosexuality from. Visconti's lover was jealous of him for Alain and came up with the rumor that Delon was sleeping with Visconti for roles. An idiot, as Alain said.
Whoops, waited too long, now he's dead.
He was one of the most wonderful looking, great actor of all times! Alain Delon is 1# ❤
I admittedly had a big crush on him - - but I seriously doubt that he was ever bi or gay.
Perfect timing. In the last 2 weeks I watched Mr Klein and the Red Circle. Delon had a bad start in life but fate graced him very handsome looks which he got lucky.
Apart from Michelle Pfeiffer I have not heard of someone plucked from obscurity simply based on their looks. The other beautiful people chased fame, looks like it was handled down to Delon. He was a good actor but so far Inthe 2 films I saw him in he just played stoic cool which is pretty easy to do.
Ever heard of Schwab's?
Never heard of him.
@@awashhyzo And Ava Gardner didn't at first chase after stardom. Her brother-in-law owned a photographic studio on a major street in NYC and put in his window a pic he had made of Ava back in No. Carolina. An MGM executive in NYC saw it, inquired about her and arranged for her to come to NYC for a screen test. She was soon on her way to Hollywood
My apologies in advance, I'm super dyslexic,there will be mistakes.
Helmut Berger was my godfather, I remember being in a restaurant in Paris & Delon came in with a group,most of whom seemed to know Berger,this would have been in the mid 70s.
The two of them were like a pair of petulant children & though both of the groups joined up,they quite literally blanked each other sitting as far apart as possible. From what I knew & was told by Berger & my mother Delon had put the moves on Berger's partner ,the great Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti,they might even have lived together before Berger, who was openly bisexual moved in for a long affair with Visconti.Berger bedded Delons wife/girlfriend to spite him.
But in those days anyone who was anyone was a bit or a lot bisexual! Think Jagger & Bowie; many times it would include a woman ,in the J&B situation, this was confirmed by a singer Ava Cherry who's on record as saying she was in bed with them both on multiple occasions, but really just played the spectator, while the two of them got it on together.
Berger & Delon were total opposites & were really not in competition, but the Visconti thing set up a longterm feud. Berger accused Delon of getting his young son 6 or 7 at the time to write to Visconti to get back into his favour.
Delon definitely proved his 'swimmers' worked by have 3 children that were acknowledged but also rumours of others by various women who were neither one of his 3 wives. His history with women is problematic at best & abusive at worst - though one of the last 'monstres sacrés' of French/European cinema - he has admitted publicly to slapping women.
He may have said what you quoted regarding being gay,but,is also on record as saying homosexuality was unnatural. Though in a later interview supported gay marriage but was opposed to them having rights to adopt children.
I was very lucky to have such an amazing childhood, my mother had many connections to show business.
At one point we lived in Westport,Connecticut, with Bette Davis as a neighbour - she let me actout the cigarette scene from "Now Voyager". I would have been 10,any loved lighting cigarettes for the "grownups" Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward live further up from us & many times I, with my parents, would be at a BBQ at their home, with Hollywood "Royalty" in attendance. One memorable occasion Rock Hudson turned up in drag with a beautiful black man on each arm! Paul Newman is another beautiful man,who had an arrangement with his wife,allowing him affairs with men like Delon,he had the most incredible eyes.
I'm not just simply name dropping,but trying to explain a culture pre social media & everyone having not just a still camera with them 24/7, but,also the ability to film & distribute their own little movies,for the most part to the detriment of the famous subjects. It was also a very serious business, with people whose sole job was covering up actors "problematic" sex/private lives,this went for women,too.
What happened in Hollywood /the USA,was mirrored in Europe, where it was probably 100% more decadent!
Delon like my godfather were "products" that were carefully managed/presented to the hetronormative masses as aspirational figures/lifestyles, those who are remembered to the point of Iconic were really tough ruthlessly ambitious people, who would do anything to get to & stay at "The Top".
If you were beautiful, you could come from povery - in many cases - & attain money & a lifestyle,making you so rich,the world was quite literally yours. Trying to define people by putting labels on them is futile and outing someone is repugnant,probably even more so after their death, when they can't defend themselves. I'm not being a hypocrite as I've mentioned nothing about anyone,which isn't in some form in the public domain.
I think & have had many discussions over the last 50 years,that one of the reasons so many famous male actors got it on with other men,but,keep it secret was number one it was illegal & could destroy your career; number two, men are far more "wash & go" with regards to sex & even more importantly can't fall pregnant a situation that could also destroy your career & even your marriage, regardless that the marriage was for camouflage - sometimes on both sides - and is still a practice in todays supposedly freer,more open & equal society. One only has to look around the world & what many gay men in countries where equal right are enshrined in law & many of the younger generation take for granted, would result in death in 11 countries & imprisonment/hard core persecution in around 70 ( including the 11 with a death sentence)supposedly civilised societies for simply doing things that "straight" people take completely for granted.
Alain Delon,was a product of his time : no one can take away the fact he was one of the most beautiful men in the world, but,like my much missed godfather who famously played Dorian Gray,there is no portrait in the attic; age & lifestyle choices eventually catch up with you,your body that was once capable of amazing feats,be they sexual or athletic fails you & age catches up with you. i
Now 84 age hasn't been particularly kind to Delon,but,wow he must have had some fun,behind those doors that will forever stay closed/locked to the majority of people.
Agree with your observations, when I a late teen, I made friends with directors and producers from Mexico and Hollywood (L.A. born) and that time every actor I met through these men were gay, very few were bisexual and fewer still, straight. After having a couple flings with some actors that became household names in 90s, I began a long affair with my boss, a producer, that up to that time, had never been with a guy before and was interested in experimenting and later the wife was OK with it as long as she had the cash to shop, and that began the kind of decadent life that you mentioned. Big names from the past were mentioned at cocktail parties by family members and ex-partners alike, who was a transvestite or who a pedophile was frequently mentioned to my surprise at that innocent time of my life! Most reoccurring story was that Indeed Paul Newman was having affairs with men while his wife had them with women and that actors such Spencer Tracy, William Holden and Marcello Mastro...were closet cases. In my opinion most actors are whores, they would do anything for an opportunity in film or television and many actually did survive by selling their favors and just any peek at any acting classes anywhere, will open your eyes on just how gay is the acting world, and it hasn't change, at present I'm in the lives of quite a few men and women that coming out as gays or bisexuals would an end to their career, gorgeous people cannot take that kind of plunge when their being casted as romantic leads, character actors have successfully done that, but they were never a somebody's wet dream to begin with! One I always remember is that entertainers are just people and there's nothing really special about them, not a single one of them were the greatest I ever had and some were just plain weird , suffering from narcissisism, arrogance and deep sexual inadequate feelings about their bodies and methods and to that let's add drugs and booze, not something that left me or my friends with the best feelings about those in the limelight, but happily married to an auto-mechanic, the series man I've ever met!! ❤
I truly admire your godfather. He was extremely handsome and talented! he was amazing as Ludwig alongside Romy Schneder (also austrian like him) and as Marttin (in the Damned) both times directed by Visconti.
I agree with you. All these great stars were "products" of their time... I think it was a magnificent era ...
@@afroditi5845 He was also very funny,when he wanted to be. Thanks for kind words,as I was only 6/7 when The Dammed was released & 7/8 when Dorian Gray came out,I'd obviously not seen them,though somewhere my mother has pics from set of both. During a trip to Paris in 77 or 78 we'd been at a dinner where people were talking about them & he very sweetly arranged a screening of both for me,During which he made little comments. Both he & my mother died earlier this year & I rewatched his films online, saving Dorian Gray,till last as my parents were extras,in the party scenes. Best wishes to you&yours.
@@hectormanuel9793 Thank you for your reply,confirming my observations, many people in no way associated with the business believe I'm just making it up; possibly because they believe the hype or just don't want to consider the ramifications, if extrapolated across all industries/life in general?

Wow thanks for sharing your fascinating stories. We idolize actors in our culture and imagine they have wonderful lives. But , really they are just people like the rest of us who live their lives in between work projects. Being a great actor/entertainer doesn’t necessarily make you a nice person. Plenty of actors who were great on screen, we’re not nice people. Plenty we’re great on screen and we’re nice people.
I don't know what is more disturbing, talking about Delon as if we can ascertain his sexuality one way or another since we haven't seen him "be gay" with anyone or the number of the guys in the comment section who say how beautiful Alan was if far more than the number of women who say how beautiful he was
If he were a homosexual, and so is Arnold Swcharzenegger and Sylvester Stalone, c'mon, tell it to the marines!!!!
...i remember him in a movie with Dean Martin but have never come across his name in dozens of books on hollywood......who cares about his personal life.....the guy is still alive go ask him if you think it is important
He is still alive, you know.
No doubt that Delon was very charming as we can see in the image of this video. You do not give lots of evidence that he could have been bisexual and you do not even mentioned the most important clue : his supposed relation with Luchino Visconti who was openly gay and allow Alain Delon to act in 3 great movies : Rocco et ses frères" (1960) -
"Le Guépard" (Il Gattopardo)" (1963) -
"La Caduta degli Dei" (1969) -
he made him a star.
Because there is no conclusive evidence. Opinion, rumor and innuendo are not facts.
Alain Delon wasn't in La caduta degli Dei. That was Helmut Berger.
I think he had to go with some in order to get the parts
🤔 Come on, besides Lassie. There must have been some straight men in Hollywood ?.....................😮
🤣😂 I HEAR YOU ON THAT PART 👍👍 TO ME HE'S SOOO GOOD-LOOKING. IF HE WAS GAY🤨 ITS HIS BUSINESS. I LOVED HIM😍🤩🥰😘
All the dogs who played Lassie over the years were bitches literally female Collies,you could risk a lipstick shot of your main star😂
If I remember correctly, Lassie was a female. Back in the day, the TV producers didnt want to see any hanging down doodads 😲😲😂😂
Well said. Its just another hit piece on a decent man because he is unapologetically a straight, normal, decent White and conservative French nationalist, and he hasn't changed a bit. That is why scum like this will use smear tactics. I am unsubscribing from this degenerate channel because many times they would outright lie just to push some left leaning, liberal hivemind agenda. I suggest other channels that talk old Hollywood with far more tact than this bozo.
HE ADORED WOMEN
Was? He's still alive.
Yes 88 years old
He was an actor, so it goes without saying...
Indeed, and the camera just loves him.
Alain Delon hat the IT Factor so good looking and yes sexy , but he was and still is a strong willed individual . I just about viewed every Film he was in . I do not believe the rumors him being homosexual . They rumors were that Cary Grant was Homosexual so i gather that is just plain vain imagination . I am sure men admired them too .
