Style Setters | Mr Alain Delon

[@pourquoipas971]

Extraordinary body language, very handsome face, fantastic eyes with intensity in every part of his body. That is what made him so special . RIP

[@MariaAlvarez-sm8bv]

Delon made a great choice not to stay attached to Hollywood and to all it's bad films (with quite a few exceptions). His career in Europe was unique and he is famous and a star there and in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Nothing else is necessary.

[@kathrynj.hernandez8425]

We can thank French Director Yves Allégret for that decision! He spoke plainly to Delon who expressed hesitancy about his ability to act. "Alain, look at me. Speak the way you are speaking to me. Look the way you are looking at me. Listen the way you are listening to me. Don't act. Live." That hit home for Alain. He said if Allégre had not spoken those words, Delon would not have had this six-decade career. (from feature story on Delon in GQ uk magazine, December, 2017)

[@The1976spirit]

Nevertheless he had some fun with Charles Bronson, Toshiro Miofune, Ursula Andress in Wild Wild West

My mom loves Alain Delon. I love to watch movies with her and she often mention him as her favourite actor.

[@guyinsf]

The narrator says that Delon was never "mythologized" like James Dean or Marlon Brando and that was due to his own fault for not wanting to learn English to make it big in Hollywood. I hate that arrogance and implication that every actor has to make it in Hollywood to enjoy a certain level of fame that can only be validated by success in Hollywood. Actors like Delon and especially Brigitte Bardot didn't need Hollywood and they still achieved world fame on par with any Hollywood A-lister of their time. In fact I think Hollywood would have reduced big stars like Delon and BB to silly stereotypical French characters anyways and they might not have turned out to enjoy the great careers that they ended up having with mostly French films. That's why Sophia Loren's Italian films are better than her Hollywood films.

[@milenakupiec1839]

Ha! Of course, the narrator is only speaking from his own experience. Hollywood is not the ultimate film-making universe. In Europe (what some English do not consider themselves to be a part of), French and Italian cinema and European actors were just as if not more famous and beloved than their Hollywood counterparts. I still remember my mother ‘drooling’ over Delon, Belmondo, but Dean and Brando not so much. Plus, Hollywood sell products, Europe’s approach is more humane and natural.

Because language is not just only pronouncation & vocabulary, it's a mentality & a culture as well, That's why most of the foreign actors, who made it to the A Listers in Hollywood; were of Anglo cultures backgrounds, wheather, Australians, British or Newzealenders, or even South African sometimes, cause, they only needed to change the accent, while there only from other cultures, who managed to break the language barrier & become international, but we all still love Alain Delon, weather he can speak in English or not, actually it was for his best interest to remain uniquely an international French icon, who has his on character & persona.

it says here that he could not master English and therefore left, and that it was a cunning move, in fact, Hollywood did not have enough intelligence and taste for what to do with Delon, Delon starred in several stupid films in Hollywood and left him

[@francinesicard464]

Not only! It's not knowing who Alain Delon is, his strong personality, indomitable and reluctant to compromise even for money. However, he turned out to be an excellent businessman and is wealthy in his own right. Hollywood was only a factory where during that period few actors could choose the films and the roles they wanted. In Europe, and in particular in France, actors are respected, he had that choice.

Good for him coming back to Europe and choosing to pursue a career in French and Italian Cinema. All his Hollywood roles were lame and lacked something, it's like they couldn't allow a Frenchman to appear "cooler" than his american co-stars, it's so obvious watching the few movies he made there. They always had to make the american more likable, interesting or braver or more capable and manly, it's incredibly gratting. Had he stayed there he would just have played a variety of foreigner roles (mostly french stereotypes) that would never be given the gravitas his talent deserved. In fact, Belmondo was also courted by Hollywood at some point but he never even tried to go there because he knew he'd never get roles like in France and he was entirely right about it, Hollywood would have found a way to diminish even Belmondo's masculine physicality when acting because they would have felt so threatened by it. Also, in what world wasn't he "mythologised"? The only place where he isn't is the USA and that's because they're culturally insular. But the USA isn't the blueprint for the world and Delon is the epitome of male beauty in much of the rest of the world.
