Alain Delon

Does anyone know/remember/like him?

He was my absolute actor heartthrob back in the day.

My friend sent me a couple of pics of his, knowing how much I liked him and I have to say that man was gorgeous.

Look at these pics! My favorite film of his is The Black Tulip.

Who was your actor heartthrob, if you had one.

Yes, I remember him. He was gorgeous. Is he still living?

Probably Robert Redford was my heartthrob (back when he was still a looker). But I still say Cary Grant was the best looking man ever. Ever.

OMGosh......Just the other day I thought about him.......I couldn't recall his name, though. Very handsome, very popular.

Cary Grant was my favorite......I secretly always thought I'd marry someone similar. Older, dapper, etc. (No such luck, lol.)

Also, when I was very, very young, a child, in fact: I wanted to actually marry Roy Rogers. I counted how old he would be when I reached 21, etc.

Never mind that he was already happily married......

Alain Delon was gorgeous. Cary Grant and David Jannsen are favorites too.

My all time favorite in the '60's was Ben Gazzara - so handsome.

He is still with us at age 88.

The movie I remember him from best was Yellow Rolls Royce in 1964

Oh, my goodness, he was one of my favorites. I remember when I first saw him in a movie. My girlfriend and I had gone to see The Yellow Rolls Royce. This was before Dr Zivago had been made, so we were not so familiar with Omar Shariff. When we were leaving we were trying to decide which one was Alain Delon, since we had never heard of him before, we were not sure if he was Omar Shariff or not.

After seeing him in The Yellow Rolls Royce he became a favorite. He certainly was gorgeous.

A funny story of something that happened years and years later, when I was middle-aged and working at my main job. I was at work, and was very tired because I had stayed up very late the night before, to catch Alain Delon in some obscure movie....just because I hadn't seen him for years, and was curious as to how he looked as an older man.

I was mentioning why I was so tired to my coworkers in the room, never expecting that any of them would even know who Alain was. But to my complete surprise, my coworker Laura pipes up with "Oh Alain Delon. I have a picture that was taken when I was seated next to Alain and his wife at a dinner."

Laura had lived in Paris where she met her husband, who for a time did movie reviews for some publication. She did, in fact, spend an evening seated next to Alain and his wife at the time, because her husband was invited to this particular event. She brought me the photo as proof, and there were Laura, her husband, Alain and wife all together, talking.

I pumped her for information about him. She said he did seem a little full of himself, but what she remembered most was that the two couples both had little boys the same age, and that's what they discussed.

Laura would go back to Paris on vacation to see family members almost yearly, and she would always bring me back some little momento that she would find that featured Alain. A magazine clipping, a photo of a movie marquee he was on, once a perfume sample of a perfume he was promoting. Some little funny thing.

I think he's still alive, but looks very aged, because he is, of course. I read that he has considered ending his life should he become too ill. It's legal in Switzerland, where I think he now lives. He said his son has agreed to assist. I'm not sure I'm accurate on this, but it's what I recall.

I think he was one of the most handsome of actors.

I've never heard of him. He is very handsome. He reminds me of John Stamos.

Alain Delon reminds me of a young John Derek who was probably one of the best looking men in Hollywood in his day.

My first crush was Robert Redford 😍, but he was old enough to be my dad 😄 my mom watched a lot of his movies, so that's where that came from 😁

Alain Delon is HOT! I loved him in La Piscine and Purple Noon.
