Heard he was a pimp (allegedly) but thought with his little brain no more than most 🌟guess it’s a dominate subjugate mind set but it was all free love but just for him 😂🤣😎🤩
@@colettemccoy2921 He wasn't a pimp, but the prostis loved him and had he stayed there he might have become a pimp. Was he ever lucky, he got into movies instead. What a different life he would have had?
@@morgantylerv9406 I fell in love with him now, thanks to all the films, videos, interviews (he was superbly intelligent). I doubt any health woman could resist him. He's so gorgeous.
He's one of my favorite actors! He struck my fancy for the first time in "Plein Soleil" ("Purple Noon") from a foreign film festival on one of my local PBS stations back when I was a teenager in the late '70s. He was one of THE most handsome men I've ever seen! I saw "L'Eclisse," "The Yellow Rolls Royce," "Once a Thief," "Rocco and His Brothers," "Le Samourai," and his TV miniseries, "Fabio Montale." I wrote him a fan letter (can't remember if I did it in English or in my so-so highschool French), and a few weeks later, I received an autographed picture post card from him. (Alas, I lost the postcard in a fire some years later). 😢
I was watching a movie on TCM and I had to look at the screen because it was subtitled. After one look at those eyes, I realized I wanted to watch the screen because he was so beautiful. ❤
Delon walking in the outdoor market in Purple Noon is a hugely favorite moment of mine-- and many others. He had "it" most definitely. He was beautiful, but there was something more...
You are so right. He had incredible charisma, and acting talent. You don't get to be a world icon (except in the States) without enormous talent. I've been watching his interviews. He's extraordinarily intelligent, without being an intellectual.
For the record, he fled Hollywood after about a year for fame on the International market. Realized Hollywood brass would control his career, cause him to audition for roles (unlike all his Hollywood peers, he never auditioned or competed for any film role) and he was a risk-taker who was far too ambitious. Alain became a world icon as both a cinema and a cultural icon. RIP Mr. Delon, I miss you more than you know.
The intelligent and creative method of looking at Delon's life and career is far above the shallow, gossipy and often stupid biopics of other celebrities normally on UA-cam. Extremely interesting and very well done! Thomas*San Francisco, CA*USA
@@stephaniec3619 Interesting that you should say that. I love Canadians. I had the loveliest, best man in the world as husband, a Canadian. UNfortunately, he died. But Canadians tend to be more informed than Americans.

Americans are so isolated. Alain Delon was an international icon, beloved all over the world, except in the US. Same thing with the most popular sport in the world, futbol. Until very recently, they didn't know Lionel Messi either.

Subscribed ! Great episode, controversial and talented man. I think this is the third or fourth video I have watched. Well researched, entertainingly presented. I honestly thought I’d previously subscribed. Glad I was able to correct this oversight
I truly believe Alain loved Romy, but both of them were too young, too talented, too pretty, to emocionally unstable and Delon enjoyed women a bit too much. That being said, he got really melancholic about Romy as he aged since she died so young. I think their tumultous lives deserve a 3 hours movies at least untill her death at only 43 years old.
It´s fascinating, as a South American, to realize how most Americans are apart from teh rest of the world. Being from the land of cinema and not aknowledging Alain Delon´s iconic face and carrer is in the same level of not knowing who Messi is.
I agree. I’m Australian, with many US friends and they miss out because they’re just not given that world view. It’s sad for them, they’re missing out.
I agree. It's one of the reasons I left the US yrs ago. Too many Americans who think they're the center of the world, or even worse, they're the only country in the world. Too many ignoramuses. And now they have Trumpie.
Delon not acknowledging his son was a horrible thing to do to a child and it had tragic consequences on this child as a adult. So sad he was so handsome but had a ugly heart. He was a good actor should have done a movie with Natalie Wood. It would has been wonderful.
Don't be so judgmental. Women threw themselves at him. He was abandoned as a child and thus had difficulty maintaining relationships. Nevertheless he remained friends with his women. He particularly loved animals and set up many animal shelters.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 Actually he’s always denied being Ari’s (who looked a lot like his mother) father. Nico was also awful to the boy to the point Delon’s mother flew to rescue him in Spain.
Too hard to say he had an ugly heart. There are two sides to this story. Nico was a fly-by-night affair. She had a lot of affairs and was a druggie. She couldn't even take care of her child properly. Alain Delon didn't think the child was his. Sad for the boy, but it's not so dreadful what he did given the circumstances. Easy to judge from the outside. He left his women as lovers, yes, but he kept them as friends and helped them.
I'm leaving this comment on what would have been his 89th birthday. What a breathtaking beauty. I fell in love with him after watching him in Le Samouraï. I wish his personality was as nice as his face. He sounded like a nightmare in his personal life.
He will always be Ripley! He was French to the core and Hollywood was, well, Hollywood. Foreign stars rarely made it big but there were exceptions. The British. Belmondo, Gabin, Trintignant, Montand never became Hollywood legends. He was the French Warren Beatty. Except Beatty never left them pregnant. A giant has left us.
I would watch all of Delon’s films if I could fine them in English or with English subtitles. I have find some, but most don’t seen to be available in the U.S. where we live apart from world culture.
German born singer Nico (the mother of Christian Aaron { Ari} Paffgen Boulogne) had several other lovers at the same time she had the brief affair with Alain Delon and any one of these men could be Ari's father ? Since Delon did not want to have a child with Nico, why should he be held responsible for her irresponsible behaviour having a child ,who she could not take care of and who she neglected and abused all of the time he was in her care ? Why is all of the responsibility put on Delon? This infantilization of women ,making them "victims" of men is demeaning ! Nico chose to have a child on her own, the fault lies in her decision, not that of Alain Delon, or whoever the child's father was . Go and read the biographies of Nico and find out about how she lived her life : "Nico: You are beautiful and you are alone" by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike and "Nico: and "The life and lies of and icon " by Richard Witts). She used hard drugs ever since she was a teenager and even gave those drugs to Ari to keep him quiet while she worked. What kind of mother is that ?! Insted of blaming Alain Delon for Ari's sad life, why not put the blame on his irresponsible mother !
Ari looked like Delton, maybe even more handsome in the picture you showed. A DNA test would have proved paternity. Even posthumously, if anyone cared, this could be proven.
Delon always denied being the boy´s father and I think he was more similar to Nico than to Alain and there were no DNA test in the 60s. Also, Nico was such an awful mother that Delon´s mother went to Spain with his half sister to rescue the boy who was living in horrible conditions. Ari disgrace was getting close to Nico again in his teenager years.
@@marygarofalo704 Eventhough Alain Delon's mother Edith Arnold (Delon) Boulogne took German born singer Nico's son "Ari" into her care, I don't believe that she thought that he was her biological grandson . Nico had several other lovers at that time and anyone of them could have been the child's father. I wrote this in May 2023 after Ari Boulogne's death.

Nico had been a hard drug user since she was 15 years old ( heroin and cocaine) and that she continued to use these drugs during her pregnancy and even gave them to her infant son Ari . Also mentioned in the biographies of Nico were the terrible conditons her son lived in while he was with his mother ( filty diapers,dirty clothes, little or no food and over all squalid living conditions ). Here is an excerpt from an article about Ms Otter Bickerdike's biography of Nico: " Nico met French heart-throb and inveterate womaniser Alain Delon. They had a 'whirlwind affair' on the Italian island where he was filming, which blew Nico away - but not Delon who at the time was involved with his co-star German born actress, Romy Schneider. A friend recalled that Nico (was) 'very happy and excited: 'I've just slept with Alain Delon!' It was like Snow White had met her prince. She was obsessed with this ghastly man.' After a subsequent one-night stand in New York, she became pregnant and decided to have the baby. Friends were gob-smacked that she genuinely believed Delon would marry her. He has always denied being the boy's father. After the birth of her son ,Nico left Ari in Ibiza with her mother, who was suffering from Parkinson's Disease, so ( that) she could go off and earn money for all of them from acting, modelling and - so she hoped - singing. It was a disastrous move. The toddler was largely left to fend for himself . Nico contacted Delon's mother, Mme. Edith Delon Boulogne, saying that Ari was her grandson and begged her to take the child into her care. Mme Boulogne ended up rescuing and eventually adopting Ari after finding him 'crouching like an animal' in a dark room that stank of faeces and vomit in the apartment where Nico lived. On the occasions she 'borrowed' Ari, Nico was a chaotic parent. The child sometimes went around after concerts drinking all the leftover alcohol he could find. Otter Bickerdike writes: 'It has been written, but not confirmed, that Nico allegedly smeared heroin on the child's gums to calm him down . Nico appears to have been much more worried about her career ( than her child )." Those fuming about the "rejection" of Ari by his alleged biological father ( Alain Delon), might also take into consideration the blatant neglect and abuse the child suffered at the hands of his biological mother, Nico .
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 Oh, sorry. I thought you were asking about Ari Bolougne, his supposedly son. Well, her mother abandoned him at 4 because she divorced from his father and they both had married again. Alain was then adopted by an elderly couple who died a few years later and then he went back living with biological mother when he was around 12 to 14 years old. I’m not sure.
Un Flic 1973 was my No1 favourite film of all time for 8 years damned by the critics for formalism the social structure is greater than the individual pattern of the the auteur obsession - betrayal misogyny suicide nihilism reply of Melville's Gestapo period experiences but utterly jarring in the mini skirt period of 1967! Or as Melville said : I'm married but live alone.
Theres No Contest When Mentioning Looks Elvis Had It All, The High Forehead , The Thick Jet Black Hair , Those Beautifull Deep Smouldering Blue Eyes That Just Sparkle, The High Cheek Bones, And As For Those Pounted Lips One Of Elvis Girlfriend Liñda Thompson Said They Were Just Like Kissing Marshmallows Haven't Stopped Buying Marshmallows Since , And His White Teeth Curved Around His Mouth, And His Smile He's Smiling Just For Me, Many People Who Knew Elvis Have Said You Haven't Seen Beauty Until You Have Seen Elvis In The Flesh He Was Almost Feminine Looking, He's Got My Hormones Going I've Peed Myself ❤
Some women say it's Elvis, others say it's al Pacino, others say it's marlo Brando, etc.. but they all say that when looking at the overall person. Meaning strip away their status, fame, anything you know about them and simply look at all of them for the first time and objectively they would become normal looking people and majority of women would no longer say they are attractive. However, very few men get that credit and those are Pitt, Cruise, Dicaprio among few others. But at the apex of all men, stands the most beautiful of them all.. Alain Delon. The only 9.8 male in modern history and even outshines women's beauty.
I had never heard of this actor until your video. Of COURSE he was attractive - he's a Scorpio!😂 However, the most beautiful man in the world, past or present, is Petrus Ratajczyk, better known as Pete Steele bassist and lead singer of Type-O Negative. 😊
@@sandeesimons6045 delon is the only 9.7 male in modern recorded history.. the highest rating any man or woman can achieve. In every corner of the world he was known as the most beautiful person. His legend persists.
Very nice dissection. But I take issue with your title, most ɓeautiful man in the world. In the modern world maybe, but to me the most beautiful man was Errol Flynn in 1935.
Point taken! Although it’s not necessarily my opinion but a popular nickname for Delon during his early years in the press - Le Plus Beau Homme du Monde.
@@BassGirlSusan1961 Chain smoking was common in his days. It was considered “glamorous”, amazingly enough. What is surprising is that it didn’t kill him. It did, however, age him quickly and badly. Still, as a young man he was beyond gorgeous.
He definitely is a gorgeous man, but Elvis Presley has the title of being the most beautiful human to live.He still wins worldwide contests naming him such.Peiple who saw him, rveryday people and movie stars say that he is the most beautiful human they ever saw.Yhey are mesmerized by such phenomenal beauty. They say they do not know how someone can be that gorgeous.Thwy say he was even better looking in person than in the movies or his pictures.Computer analysis has been done on his facial features It showed every feature was perfect in distance measurement from the other the feature were perfectly shaped.He had skin that looked like to velvet.He had triple rows of eyelashes.His smile lit up the sky..and his hair, perfect hair that everybody copied. He also had an aura around him.His physique was lean and powerful..the viuce if an angel and charisma so intoxicating, unlike ever known before.Watch the 68 special to see what made him God:'s finestñ creation.
Elvis was blond so having his hair dyed dark brought out his eyes and face in general. Also, Elvis wore loads of make-up all the time not just for performances. So in that time, make-up wasn't as fine so it must have looked cakes in every day life. For the same period, Warren Beatty and George Peppard l'd say were more handsome when l've seen images of them . Both equal to Délon.
@@frederiquemartin223 better. I agree. Much more mature and manly too. Plus he's a terrific actor. Can't say that about Elvis. He's also much more intelligent. But Elvis was the best at what he did. Singing.
@@martarego9646 Alain delon’s mother hoped to manipulate Daniel, I think that’s his name, to re-establish a relationship with his fascist son. In doing so, she literally stole Nico’s child and forbid any kind of tender relationship between the two. That fascist pig should have intervened and impose that the kid stayed with the mother. Or are you one of those frustrated, stupid people that thinks all drug users are bad parents? You probably are, my ignorant, sexually frustated and devoid of any understanding of the world, little consumer of ideology. Do you really believe that a fascist, Gaullist, pretty face can’t go wrong? Think again and think how narcissistic his behaviour has been all his life. Trodding on any humanistic values worth having
He's attractive but not the most beautiful man in the world. I know a few others who would come closer to that title; Tae Soo Jun is dead, unfortunately!😑
Not quite the MOST beautiful man in the world .. narcissist ... jumped from one woman to another and vice-versa ... never grew up ...never cared about his children ...selfish ... arrogant ... not a notable actor ...ehhhh ...
@vixenfire Even In 1977 Elvis Was The Most Gorgeous Man, Alain Delon Was Already Wilting By Then, A Lot More Baggy Eyed, A Few Wrinkles Here And There And One Two Gray Hairs !
He's Good Looking, But Elvis Is On Other Planet Looks Wise, Never As Or Ever Will Be Another Beautifully Structured Specimen Then Elvis, James Dean Was Better Looking Then Alain Delon Who In My Opinion Tried To Model Himself On 😮

The narrator's style sounds like the podcast " You must remember this "
German born singer Nico (the mother of Christian
Aaron { Ari} Paffgen Boulogne) had several other lovers at the same time she had the brief affair with Alain Delon and any one of these men could be Ari's father ?
Since Delon did not want to have a child with Nico, why should he be held responsible for her irresponsible behaviour having a child ,who she could not take care of and who she neglected and abused all of the time he was in her care ?
Why is all of the responsibility put on Delon?

Go and read the biographies of Nico and find out about how she lived her life :
"Nico: You are beautiful and you are alone" by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike and "Nico: and "The life and lies of and icon " by Richard Witts).
She used hard drugs ever since she was a teenager and even gave those drugs to Ari to keep him quiet while she worked.
What kind of mother is that ?!
Insted of blaming Alain Delon for Ari's sad life, why not put the blame on his irresponsible mother !

Here is an excerpt from an article about Ms Otter Bickerdike's biography of Nico: " Nico met French heart-throb and inveterate womaniser Alain Delon. They had a 'whirlwind affair' on the Italian island where he was filming, which blew Nico away - but not Delon who at the time was involved with his co-star German born actress, Romy Schneider. A friend recalled that Nico (was) 'very happy and excited: 'I've just slept with Alain Delon!' It was like Snow White had met her prince. She was obsessed with this ghastly man.' After a subsequent one-night stand in New York, she became pregnant and decided to have the baby. Friends were gob-smacked that she genuinely believed Delon would marry her. He has always denied being the boy's father.
After the birth of her son ,Nico left Ari in Ibiza with her mother, who was suffering from Parkinson's Disease, so ( that) she could go off and earn money for all of them from acting, modelling and - so she hoped - singing. It was a disastrous move. The toddler was largely left to fend for himself . Nico contacted Delon's mother, Mme. Edith Delon Boulogne, saying that Ari was her grandson and begged her to take the child into her care. Mme Boulogne ended up rescuing and eventually adopting Ari after finding him 'crouching like an animal' in a dark room that stank of faeces and vomit in the apartment where Nico lived.
On the occasions she 'borrowed' Ari, Nico was a chaotic parent. The child sometimes went around after concerts drinking all the leftover alcohol he could find. Otter Bickerdike writes: 'It has been written, but not confirmed, that Nico allegedly smeared heroin on the child's gums to calm him down . Nico appears to have been much more worried about her career ( than her child )."
Those fuming about the "rejection" of Ari by his alleged biological father ( Alain Delon), might also take into consideration the blatant neglect and abuse the child suffered at the hands of his biological mother, Nico .
Why did his mother abandon him if she cared for him?
She was a life long drug addict. She couldn’t even take care of herself. But, he was Alain’s son.
@@julietrask7497Was there a DNA test?
@@martarego9646 There's no doub that she was his mother.
sorry, doubt
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 Oh, sorry. I thought you were asking about Ari Bolougne, his supposedly son. Well, her mother abandoned him at 4 because she divorced from his father and they both had married again. Alain was then adopted by an elderly couple who died a few years later and then he went back living with biological mother when he was around 12 to 14 years old. I’m not sure.
What about Adeiu Ami?
He looks like a young man of today.
No way. His hair isn't purple.
Un Flic 1973 was my No1 favourite film of all time for 8 years damned by the critics for formalism the social structure is greater than the individual pattern of the the auteur obsession - betrayal misogyny suicide nihilism reply of Melville's Gestapo period experiences but utterly jarring in the mini skirt period of 1967! Or as Melville said : I'm married but live alone.
Scissors r very important
Theres No Contest When Mentioning Looks Elvis Had It All, The High Forehead , The Thick Jet Black Hair , Those Beautifull Deep Smouldering Blue Eyes That Just Sparkle, The High Cheek Bones, And As For Those Pounted Lips One Of Elvis Girlfriend Liñda Thompson Said They Were Just Like Kissing Marshmallows Haven't Stopped Buying Marshmallows Since , And His White Teeth Curved Around His Mouth, And His Smile He's Smiling Just For Me, Many People Who Knew Elvis Have Said You Haven't Seen Beauty Until You Have Seen Elvis In The Flesh He Was Almost Feminine Looking, He's Got My Hormones Going I've Peed Myself ❤
Some women say it's Elvis, others say it's al Pacino, others say it's marlo Brando, etc.. but they all say that when looking at the overall person. Meaning strip away their status, fame, anything you know about them and simply look at all of them for the first time and objectively they would become normal looking people and majority of women would no longer say they are attractive. However, very few men get that credit and those are Pitt, Cruise, Dicaprio among few others. But at the apex of all men, stands the most beautiful of them all.. Alain Delon. The only 9.8 male in modern history and even outshines women's beauty.
@@johnny-mnemonic13 I agree.
He should have acknowledged his own son.
Not sure he was his son. Read the comments above.
Ari ( Delon and Nico s son )
The guy is definitely f******* but nothing better.
I had never heard of this actor until your video. Of COURSE he was attractive - he's a Scorpio!😂 However, the most beautiful man in the world, past or present, is Petrus Ratajczyk, better known as Pete Steele bassist and lead singer of Type-O Negative. 😊
@@sandeesimons6045 delon is the only 9.7 male in modern recorded history.. the highest rating any man or woman can achieve. In every corner of the world he was known as the most beautiful person. His legend persists.
@@johnny-mnemonic13 In every corner of the world, except for the US.
You've got to be kidding. No way. But then it's understandable as you've never heard of him.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 true.. he wasn't suited for Hollywood it seems
@@johnny-mnemonic13 They didn't see what the French saw in him.
it's not een hollywood but een France mystery.
Wasn't he in The Yellow Rolls Royce? I saw that movie when it came out in 1964 and although I was 8 or 9, I knew he was yummy.
John Jean belmondo was not in the film sicilian clan alain delong stared in the film opposite Jean gabin
Very nice dissection. But I take issue with your title, most ɓeautiful man in the world. In the modern world maybe, but to me the most beautiful man was Errol Flynn in 1935.
Point taken! Although it’s not necessarily my opinion but a popular nickname for Delon during his early years in the press - Le Plus Beau Homme du Monde.
Delon at his prime was the most beautiful person (yes even above women) to have ever existed. His final rating is said to be 9.7.
@@ValerieFelitto Brad Pitt.
Oh no. Look at the films Delon made. He had great charisma and acting talent. Watch him in Rocco. Errol Flynn is shallow compared to him.
@@HollywoodMysteries I believe it.
I'll never understand how smoking was viewed as glamourous/attractive. Here we have a very photogenic handsome man, but the cigarette just kills it.
You needn't understand why, just accept that it was. Delon was a particularly attractive smoker.
In those days and in the 30's and 40's everybody smoked cigarettes or cigars, the ladies wore fur coats, and everybody drank whisky.
Okay, Karen.
@@BassGirlSusan1961 Chain smoking was common in his days. It was considered “glamorous”, amazingly enough. What is surprising is that it didn’t kill him. It did, however, age him quickly and badly. Still, as a young man he was beyond gorgeous.
Well, he is super gorgeous, but to me no man has ever topped Elvis in looks..
He definitely is a gorgeous man, but Elvis Presley has the title of being the most beautiful human to live.He still wins worldwide contests naming him such.Peiple who saw him, rveryday people and movie stars say that he is the most beautiful human they ever saw.Yhey are mesmerized by such phenomenal beauty. They say they do not know how someone can be that gorgeous.Thwy say he was even better looking in person than in the movies or his pictures.Computer analysis has been done on his facial features It showed every feature was perfect in distance measurement from the other the feature were perfectly shaped.He had skin that looked like to velvet.He had triple rows of eyelashes.His smile lit up the sky..and his hair, perfect hair that everybody copied. He also had an aura around him.His physique was lean and powerful..the viuce if an angel and charisma so intoxicating, unlike ever known before.Watch the 68 special to see what made him God:'s finestñ creation.
Elvis is good for sure, but Alain Delon is more beautiful.
Elvis was blond so having his hair dyed dark brought out his eyes and face in general.
Also, Elvis wore loads of make-up all the time not just for performances. So in that time, make-up wasn't as fine so it must have looked cakes in every day life.
For the same period, Warren Beatty and George Peppard l'd say were more handsome when l've seen images of them . Both equal to Délon.
Delon is way better looking than Elvis who looked like a child
@@frederiquemartin223 better. I agree. Much more mature and manly too. Plus he's a terrific actor. Can't say that about Elvis. He's also much more intelligent. But Elvis was the best at what he did. Singing.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 true
Handsome according to the photographer. Sounds like he needed therapy.
He could have used it. But it was his wounded self that gave him such depth and allure.
Alain Delon was not a Hollywood star.
And? He was a world star.
He was a bastard to the son he had with Nico and to Nico herself
Nico was a drug addict and slept around with all and sundry. Alain Delon couldn't be sure the kid was his.
Funny Nico was a horrible mother and everyone seems to forget so, to the point Delon´s mother had to rescue the boy.
@@martarego9646 interesting take and completely bloody minded
@@martarego9646 Alain delon’s mother hoped to manipulate Daniel, I think that’s his name, to re-establish a relationship with his fascist son. In doing so, she literally stole Nico’s child and forbid any kind of tender relationship between the two. That fascist pig should have intervened and impose that the kid stayed with the mother. Or are you one of those frustrated, stupid people that thinks all drug users are bad parents? You probably are, my ignorant, sexually frustated and devoid of any understanding of the world, little consumer of ideology. Do you really believe that a fascist, Gaullist, pretty face can’t go wrong? Think again and think how narcissistic his behaviour has been all his life. Trodding on any humanistic values worth having
You butchered his name. Alain and Delon don't rhyme.
He’s too pretty for me, I prefer someone with more character in their face like yul Brynner or Telly Savalas.
Yul was very enigmatic and unique. A face in a million
He's attractive but not the most beautiful man in the world. I know a few others who would come closer to that title; Tae Soo Jun is dead, unfortunately!😑
No, he Is gorgeous!
No. NOt even close.
The most handsome man in the world??? I seen better
Not quite the MOST beautiful man in the world .. narcissist ... jumped from one woman to another and
vice-versa ... never grew up ...never cared about his children ...selfish ... arrogant ... not a notable actor ...ehhhh ...
Not a notable actor???? He's a world icon.
共演女優よりも美しかったのがアランドロンです。
あと、俳優業に私生活は関係ありません。
Elvis looked better tbh
@@SpicyTexan64 absolutely agree.
@@vixenfire When he was a corpse on his toilet floor? Agreed.
@vixenfire Even In 1977 Elvis Was The Most Gorgeous Man, Alain Delon Was Already Wilting By Then, A Lot More Baggy Eyed, A Few Wrinkles Here And There And One Two Gray Hairs !
@@Sootyfu Doesn't matter. He was still gorgeous. Some are even better as they age, like Sean Connery.
How cruel he was to his son Ari.
I think he was a good looking young man but there where a lot of lookers in USA and UK film at the time
nothing special at all
You're blind as a bat, and dull.
He's Good Looking, But Elvis Is On Other Planet Looks Wise, Never As Or Ever Will Be Another Beautifully Structured Specimen Then Elvis, James Dean Was Better Looking Then Alain Delon Who In My Opinion Tried To Model Himself On 😮
To each his own, I, on the other hand never liked Elvis and I find Delon to be absolutely gorgeous and no one comes close to him. 😊
Elvis avait un visage gras et mou. James était beau, mais loin derrière Alain 😊
than no way Absolutely not. James Dean and Elvis were good, but Alain Delon was far more beautiful.
