One of the greatest French actors, Alain Delon, is preparing to end his life in Switzerland, where it is allowed.
The Spanish newspaper Marca published Delon’s address to his fans:
“I want to thank everyone who has accompanied and supported me all these years. I hope to be an example for future actors not only in work but also in the daily life between victories and defeats. Thank you! Your Alain Delon.” . He said this in a statement after his son announced his intention to commit assisted suicide.
His son Anthony Delon shared a video on Instagram, in which the famous actor appears briefly. They are sitting on a park bench. Everything looks good, the sun is shining. Then Anthony Delon asks the star, “Aren’t we okay?” To which the visibly tired Delon replies, “Oh, great!” This post delights fans on the social network.
Earlier it became known that Anthony Delon explained that he had promised his father Allen to be with him in the last moments of his life, to accompany him on the day he decided not to live anymore.
This is the most painful promise from a son to his father. Anthony Delon, who publishes Entre chien et loup, a book about his family, reveals that he promised his father Alain Delon to be with him, to accompany him and to help him on the day he decided to he no longer lives, the day he gives up.
The actor has already experienced a similar ordeal a little over a year ago, with the death of his mother Natalie in January 2021.
“It is true that I accompanied my mother. It is true that she had decided to die the way she lived, that is, when she would decide, so she chose euthanasia, he told RTL in an interview that will be broadcast today. Fortunately, we did not resort to this process. I say fortunately because everything was ready. We had the man … “, he continues about this practice, which is not yet allowed in France, but is regularly at the center of public debate.
“It is true that it would be difficult for us to hold her hand and see how life leaves her. So, I’m not saying that the last night was easy, but the last hours were because she left in peace, “the son continued. “It simply came to our notice then. There was Mireille (Dark), my mother, “Anthony Delon was quoted as saying by BGNES.
A stroke victim in 2019, 86-year-old Alain Delon regained his strength between Switzerland and his mansion in Dushi. Rarely appears in public. He testified in a documentary last July and came to say goodbye to his film friend Jean-Paul Belmondo at the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés last September, waving to the crowd.
Very excited at the announcement of the death of the one he started with, he said: “It will not be bad if we both go together.”
Last January, on the first anniversary of the death of Natalie, his wife and Anthony’s mother, he sent us this exciting message: “For a year now … a fond memory of Natalie and all those who knew and appreciated her.”
Last year, Delon spoke in various interviews about euthanasia. In it he sees a natural solution for a person who has reached a certain age, at some point he wants to die peacefully.
“Euthanasia is the most logical and natural thing to do. At a certain age and time, we have the right to leave this world peacefully without the support of a hospital or life support,” Alain Delon said in an interview in 2021.
The actor also said that he will leave this world without regret.
“Life doesn’t bring me much. I’ve seen everything, I’ve experienced everything. But what I hate most is the current age. I’m sick of it! Everything is fake, everything has changed. There is no respect for the word. Only money matters. I know I will leave this world without being sad for it! “
