Alain Delon is a true cinema legend and one of the most handsome men in history. His charisma always stood out. Everyone should see his films. They are cinematic classics. Rest in peace, Monsier Alain Delon 🔥🙏❤️

Most handsome man...

[@yolandawinter2244]

To my mind, the most preternaturally beautiful face ever seen in cinema history. A very fine actor too. Interesting that both he and Bardot became ever more involved in the rescue of animals as time went on.

[@alexo2675]

A true natural beauty, unlike today's production line out of the gym and clinic

[@Skygrey2943]

The films he did with Melville are classics.

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Too bad about the drab visual side, otherwise fine films.

[@juerv1]

With Delon, the last of the great male stars of the classic French cinema era (1950-1975) died. Now there's no one left.

[@user-xh8jd5ff8k]

he was so gifted on the uptake ...as well..no knowledge of acting and became such a great actor...admirable

I have some Iranian friends who told me in the early 1970s some Iranian mothers named their kids' first and middle names "Alain Delon."

My favorite of his roles: The Eclipse and, of course, Le Samurai, with Un Flic getting an honorable mention.

[@titteryenot4524]

My fave films of his, in chronological order, are Plein Soleil, The Leopard, Le Samouraï, La Piscine, Borsalino, Le Cercle Rouge and Un Flic. His later stuff tended to be potboilers but still worth the entertainment value.

[@ElBuzzy67]

You forgot Monsieur Klein, probably his best role (the rest of the selection is solid indeed)

[@tildasweet2370]

For me, 'Deux hommes dans la ville(Two men in the city)' is the best of his films.

[@arnaudfernandez238]

Rocco et ses frères et le clandes siciliens....sans oublier mélodie en sous-sol avec Jean Gabin....

Mr Klein is in my opinion his best film. Too few people have seen it. I urge everyone reading this comment to watch it, as well as le samourai and deux hommes dans la ville.

[@dianascrimger284]

We think that he should receive two stars on the hollywood walk of fame!

[@yordalyn]

He was dismissed by Hollywood and U.S. critics as a pretty boy. They would acknowledge his work and talent. As a result he was offered only romantic leading roles. He refused. He also refused any plastic surgery and aged out naturally. R.E.P. Monsieur Delon.

He denied Ari.. the son he fathered with Nico. Absolutely awful and ruined his life.

[@EliezerCastello]

La vida de Ari la arruinó su madre,una mujer de vida licenciosa,promis cua y quién introdujo al niño a su asqueroso mundo de drogas.Alain no estaba seguro de que fuera su hijo y por eso no lo reconoció.Ningun hombre lo hubiera reconocido,entonces porque Alain Delon lo haría?

Ален Делон прошёл через огонь и медные трубы. Ален Делон дорожил своей профессией и делал всё то, что народ хотел видеть в его кинофильмах. Никто не написал, что он напивался и устраивал бунты и прочее. Он ценил свою марку. Но есть время, которому подвластны не только люди но и звёзды. Пришло его время и живая звезда погасла, но следы её в истории остались. Вечная память человеку на которого было приятно и радостно смотреть.
