This August 18 celebrates a sad anniversary: that of the death of one of the greatest figures in French cinema, Alain Delon. The actor died a year ago in his house in Douchy, surrounded by his children. A very important place for him, where he also chose to be buried. Indeed, his grave is in his property in the Loiret.
This symbolic day is an opportunity to return to highlights of the life of the father of Anouchka, Alain-Fabien and Anthony. If he was passionate about his job, he was also a big fan of sport. He also shared a passion for football with Patrick Bruel, which gave rise to rare images of the actor, who for once had appeared very relaxed in public.
Alain Delon at the 1998 World Cup
Sports competitions are unifying elements. Among the most watched sports is football. Like many people, Nathalie Delon’s ex-husband liked to attend matches to support her country. On July 8, 1998, he was in the stands to attend the match between France and Croatia, Alongside Patrick Bruel. In the photo, he appears in tracksuit, a cap screwed on the head. It would seem that when the photo was taken, France has scored a point. That day, she won 2 to 1. But it is above all a year that will remain engraved in all memories, since France was world football champion in 1998. A moment that Patrick Bruel will also remember.
Alain Delon and Patrick Bruel therefore knew each other for a long time, proof in image. They later found themselves on several occasions, as in 2009 on the occasion of the preview of the film “The code changed”. Recently, the singer did not hide his frustration during the tribute paid to his friend by the César Academy at the time of the ceremony.
Alain Delon, a sports enthusiast
If Alain Delon seems to be a football keen, he always liked to look at sport. An article published in the team demonstrates it widely. We see for example Alain Delon and actress Romy Schneider, a big smile on his lips alongside the boxer Aïssa Hashas, in 1960. A little later, he invited boxing champion Jean-Claude Bouttier, in Douchy, to prepare for a match of revenge against Carlos Monzon.
In addition to boxing and football, the father was also an Big fan of the Tour de France. It was not uncommon to see her on a car from the Tour de France.
