Delon’s death “leaves an immense void that nothing and no one will be able to fill,” Brigitte Bardot said in a handwritten message.
From the Brigitte Bardot until the Claudia Cardinale and Alberto Barbera, the art world said goodbye to him with emotion Alain Delona legend of French cinema who died today at the age of 88.
Delon’s death “leaves an abysmal void that nothing and no one will be able to fill,” Brigitte Bardot said in a handwritten message. “With his death, Alain puts an end to the enchanting chapter of a bygone era, of which he was the dominant monument. It represented the best of France’s “cinematic wonder”. An ambassador of elegance, talent, beauty. I am losing a friend, an alter ego, an accomplice. We shared the same values, the same frustrations, the same love for animals,” she added in her message.
“The dance is over. Tancredi went dancing with the stars…” his “Cheetah” co-star Claudia Cardinale told AFP. “They ask me to say it in words (…) but the sadness is too great. Per semper tua (s.s. Forever yours), Angelica,” she said in her message, signing with the name of the heroine of “Gatopardos”.
On Instagram, his son Jean-Paul Belmondo posted a photo of his father with Delon, accompanying it with a short message: “Allen, once you told me you missed my father, today we will miss you terribly.”
“Goodbye, Alain Delon. We will not forget all that talent, grace and beauty you brought into the world. We will not forget the charisma, that voice, that figure, the face and the melancholy, that deep and strange sadness that emanated from you (…) It is rare to find so much grace and so much sadness together in the same person” he wrote on Instagram the singer Carla Bruni.
“Alain Delon succeeded where most of his colleagues failed: to be considered the most handsome man in the world and at the same time an excellent actor. Today he leaves his mortal body to ascend to the Olympus of the Immortals, whom we will never forget,” said Alberto Barbera, the artistic director of the Venice Festival.
“The most beautiful face of French cinema left for the stars. With his metallic gaze and feline smile, he enchanted entire generations of viewers”, was the message of the former Minister of Culture Zach Lang.
“The Cheetah has bowed out,” singer Mireille Mathieu wrote on Instagram.
