Public opinion and media debates around Alain Delon—discover key moments of controversy.
Alain Delon is a French actor, producer, screenwriter, singer, and businessman, recognized as a major cultural and cinematic figure of the 20th century. Rising to prominence in the late 1950s, he became a leading European actor and an international sex symbol. Delon's style, appearance, and iconic roles cemented his enduring popularity and status as a French cultural icon.
In October 1968, the body of Stefan Marković, Alain Delon's bodyguard, was discovered in Élancourt, leading to an investigation involving Delon and François Marcantoni due to a letter implicating them in Marković's potential death.
In 1969, Alain Delon was convicted in absentia by an Italian court and sentenced to four months in jail for assaulting an Italian photographer.
In 1969, while filming La Piscine, Alain Delon became embroiled in the "Marković affair" following the murder of his secretary and bodyguard, Stefan Marković. This led to a BBC interview where he was questioned about his alleged involvement.
In 2013, Alain Delon expressed sympathy for the French far-right National Front's electoral successes.
In 2018, Alain Delon denied having ever voted for Marine Le Pen.
In 2019, Alain Delon received an honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, sparking controversy due to alleged remarks he made about women. He described the award as the end of a life.
In July 2023, Alain Delon's children filed a complaint against his companion Hiromi Rollin, alleging psychological harassment, animal cruelty, and abuse. Rollin disputed the claims and planned to file a counter-complaint. Investigations were opened but later dismissed due to insufficiently characterized offenses, though further legal actions were planned.
In mid-2023, Delon's children united to evict Hiromi Rollin, whom they accused of abusing their father.
In January 2024, Alain Delon filed a complaint against his son Anthony after an interview where Anthony discussed his father's health and accused Anouchka of manipulation. Anthony also filed a police report against Anouchka regarding cognitive test results.
In February 2024, police raided Alain Delon's home and seized 72 firearms and 3,000 rounds of ammunition after a court-appointed official noticed a weapon and alerted a judge.
In March 2024, Anouchka Delon sued her brothers for invasion of privacy after they broadcast a recording of a private conversation between her and her father.
In April 2025, the trial is set to begin, where Anthony and Alain-Fabien will be judged for "use, retention, or disclosure of a document or recording obtained by an invasion of another's privacy" following Anouchka's lawsuit.
