I found the following statement about Mr. Delon in The Daily La Reunion which is a daily French regional news source for the island of Reunion.
“Alain Delon come there to Reunion? Southern Hemisphere has signed the actor came to the island for his latest play. It remains to find a theater …”
source – http://www.lequotidien.re/
I know that in the world of movies and theater it is a always a long way from an initial idea and a plan coming to fruition. If you have any other information about this project please leave a comment.
Réunion (previously Île Bourbon) is a French island with a population of about 800,000 located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar.
Hi, Samourai. I thank you for placing a film about Maria Schneider on your site.
Two newspapers published a photos of Monsieur Delon with an unpleasant commentary on alcohol. They suggests that Monsieur Delon was drunk! I never heard or read about his problem with alcohol. I was sorry to read the captions under the photos. But he could just stumble, it’s an older man, maybe he was tired. This outrageous! Appropriate comments can manipulate each photo. If they did indeed, the entire press worldwide have taken a hot topic.
Salutations.

Lainconnu- You are most welcome!
Concerning Mr. Delon’s drinking habits- I have read other times where it was suggested that he was drinking a lot. I have noticed that the reports are generally not from the French press. One news outlet reported that Mr. Delon was drunk when he appeared on tv to sing. I think it was in Germany, but, I’m not sure. I posted the story without the reference to his drinking. I will have to look back and see when and where that was.
The question I have about the photos in the articles you mention is – Why is he wearing different shirts in each photo?
I have no idea what the “truth” is. I don’t know if his public will ever know- or needs to know. I admire the art he has created and the chartable works he supports. His personal life is not for me to know too much about or to judge.
Lainconnu- I’ve been thinking about what you said about the press’ responsibility in their reporting. You are correct. I went back and looked closely at the photos. This event happened a few days after Mr. Delon had canceled two performances due to illness. One account I read talked about Mr. Delon being very emotional when he saw his friends at his performance. From the accounts I have read he is prone to strong emotional responses. When he and Claudia were at the viewing of The Leopard one writer described how Delon’s shirt was damp from tears. You are correct. He was recovering from a cold.He may have been on cold medication which did not mix well with alcohol. It would be an extreme emotional experience to perform a play and then be surrounded by so many friends. I don’t know why they said what they did.
“…entire press have taken a hot topic”…yea… including you lainconnu. This man is not a drinker! Never! And this, is not need to tell me someone! This is seen very easy! If he was a drinker, he don’t looks so good so in good shape at 75 years! All those infos are crap. Something like this, all this nonsense, not even deserved to commented. They are just crap.
Nikolle, I agree with you about Mr. Delon. I think Lainconnu does as well. I read her message to mean that she was disgusted by such reports. I think she meant that if it were true the entire press would be reporting it.
I think it’s a misunderstanding. His friends in such a situation would give him care, and not exhibited him to public ridicule.
I wonder if the author of this article, never stumbled and do not have to resist on someone ?
Agreed.
I saw them the other day -and thought the comments under those pictures made no sense whatsoever. He ran over (during the standing ovation after his performance) to hug Belmondo -this touching scene is described in great detail in Le Parisien. Obviously, he went straight back on stage-probably too fast, and lost balance-and got captured in the picture with those ridiculous comments. He got very emotional during the huge applause they all, especially Anouchka, got-there’s a picture in Paris Match of him in tears on stage with her.
After the play there was cocktail party (also from Le Parisien) which many famous people that were at the performance have attended (Belmondo and his girlfriend, Natalie Delon, Mireille Darc with husband, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Nadine Trintignant , Bernard Tapie, Anouchka & her boyfriend, etc. -many of those pictures are also in Paris Match). Picture of him drinking champagne with Jean-Paul, where he wears a white shirt & a jacket- is from there. In all pictures he is very happy and most definitely sober.
The story is just plain dumb, and is supposed to be “sensational” but …would you really buy that the actor of his caliber would be drunk during a special performance for the 700+ members of the press (!!), various celebrities, and his own friends & family (Monday was not a performance for general public) ? As Lainconnu says, he’d be eaten alive by now by those journalists. Laughable.
Thank you. Well stated.
All i wanted to say, is that all those crap all this nonsense, not even deserved to be shown and commented, here or elsewhere.
Newspaper looking for hot topics, even where they do not.
Of course, I am outraged that such articles of Monsieur Delon. If I was not properly understood, it is only because of my incorrect English. Sorry.
Not to worry. No need to apologize. I get misunderstood all the time and English is my first language!
On the contrary, i don’t understand you very well lainconnu…not because your english, that because sometimes i read in a hurry and i’m not very careful what i read. Sorry for this. But, what i want to say is that all those crap, all this nonsense, not even deserved to be shown and commented, here or elsewhere! Just simply don’t deserve to show them! If you are so outraged, why did you show them??I mean, this is not even an information! is nothing! is just a crap!
Samourai –
thank you very much for the kindness. It is hard for me to explain the obvious. Monsieur Delon is my love – CINEMALOVE of course!
Nnikolle –
I think that such nonsense to notice and comment so as not to allow insult without justification. Maybe someone will notice our indignation, I hope.
But no, I have no hope, no one pays much attention to our voices. Too bad.
Many greetings for all.
“It is hard for me to explain the obvious. Monsieur Delon is my love – CINEMALOVE of course!” explain the obvious for who??? I hope not for me! Because, i have never no doubt about your admiration for Alain Delon! I just saying this : all those crap, all this nonsense, not even deserved to be shown and commented, here or elsewhere! You did a big favour to these stupid people, showing their crap!!! You said, “Newspaper looking for hot topics, even where they do not.” Honney, you right now, with showing this crap, did the same thing!(of course, your intentions were good!) You took this crap and show them to everybody, through this you make them big favour! So all i want to say is, such nonsense, we should not give them any attention! I hope finally you understand me.
have a good day, lainconnu.
