Alain Delon, the charismatic icon of French cinema, bids farewell
Adieu to the Silver Fox
On Friday, an adoring French public and fellow film icons bid a final farewell to the late actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, known for his charismatic and rebellious roles in the golden age of French cinema.
A Stellar Career
Alain Delon, who died at the age of 88, was the last of the male superstars from that era. He starred in over 80 films, including classics like "Purple Noon" (1960) and "Borsalino" (1970), and became known for his rugged good looks and magnetic presence on screen.
An Antagonistic Star Couple
Delon formed an iconic and antagonistic star couple with the extraverted and cheeky Jean-Paul Belmondo. Their on-screen chemistry sizzled in films like "Borsalino" and "The Sicilian Clan" (1969).
Farewell from the Film World
Jean Dujardin, who played alongside Belmondo in the 2013 film "The Monuments Men," was among the grievers bidding adieu to the beloved actor. "I remember his laugh, his mischief, his charisma," Dujardin said. "He was a true icon of French cinema, and we will miss him dearly."
