Alain Delon: I hate this era, it makes me sick

“I am an artist, but not an actor…”

In an interview that appeared in the French magazine Paris Match, 82-year-old Alain Delon sums up his life and career. Valerie Trierweiler, who talked with the actor, named this meeting:

“I, Delon: interview of my life.”

The interview appeared in a special edition dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the great artist’s career.

Recalling his life, his roles, friends and family, Alain Delon said

“Life doesn’t bring me anything anymore. I have already seen everything, experienced everything. But most importantly, I hate this era, it makes me sick.”

“I hate these people. Everything is fake. Respect no longer exists, no one fulfills their promises. Only money matters. Every day, from morning to evening, we only hear about crimes. I know that I will leave this world without regrets.”

Delon talks a little about failures in his personal life, about difficult relationships with his family. About the women he loved, and about friends who are no longer alive. According to him, dogs are of particular importance in his life. About fifty of his four-legged friends are buried in his garden in the suburbs of Paris. It is with them that he wants to be buried himself.

When asked about the place of women in his life today, Delon replies that he has not found “the one” yet.

“I wouldn’t say that I don’t have enough candidates. I have about a dozen of them, but none of them is suitable for living with for the rest of my life. I could only marry a woman if she was willing to accompany me for the rest of my days.”

The actor’s career is far from over. In an interview, he talks about the latest film, which is directed by Patrice Leconte, and in which the main roles are played by Alain Delon and Juliette Binoche. However, filming is constantly postponed. Delon also says that he would like to return to the theater stage.

The last film in which Alain Delon played the role of Caesar, Asterix and the Olympic Games, was released in 2008. He played in the theater for the last time in 2013 with his daughter Anouchka Delon, playing the role of her father on stage.

“I am an artist, but not an actor. I did not graduate from the acting academy. I didn’t do anything for that. At the age of 14, I dropped out of school, and then joined the army. I am one of those artists, like Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura or Burt Lancaster — strong personalities who were filmed in movies. And I can say, without excessive modesty, that I succeeded in this profession.”

“I never dreamed of such a career – it turned out by itself. I wasn’t born to be Alain Delon. I should have died a long time ago. But it’s called fate.”
