Last fall, the famous French theater and film actor Alain Delon turned eighty-three years old, and today in this gray-haired, imposing elderly man one can hardly recognize that proud handsome man and a real sex symbol who ruled the silver screen from 1960 to 1980.
Needless to say, both in his youth and in adulthood, Delon left behind himself a bad reputation as a brawler and troublemaker, not recognizing authority and regularly becoming the hero of hot news.
In 1964, actress Nathalie Barthelemy became his life partner for a short four years. How many unofficial relationships Delon had - only God knows.
Meanwhile, during his life, the actor became a father four times, and today we will find out how the children of such a famous personality turned out.

Ari Peffgen
Alain Delon's first-born Ari Päffgen was born in 1962 from his relationship with the German singer Nico. Despite the fact that the actor himself refused to acknowledge his paternity and to this day continues to convince the public otherwise, Alain was largely raised by Delon’s parents, who adopted him and even gave the boy his last name Boulogne.
The act of his mother and stepfather deeply offended the actor, and the conflict that flared up between them, according to French tradition, lasted for many years. When Ari’s mother died, Delon, who was present at the funeral, could not find anything better than to once again remind the guy that he still did not consider him his son.
Meanwhile, Ari Boulogne followed in the footsteps of his father, who did not recognize him, and also became an actor.
Anthony Delon
As already mentioned, in August 1964, Alain married Nathalie Barthelemy, and a few months later the couple had a son, Anthony, who also became an actor, making his film debut at twenty-one.
However, Anthony inherited more than just talent from his father. In his youth, he stole expensive cars with all his might and knew bandits, soon becoming a defendant in several criminal cases and even spending several months in prison. The reason for this was largely due to the divorce of his parents in 1968, which resulted in the absence of any supervision over the boy, as well as the inexplicable fear of his father, which had constantly haunted Anthony since his birth.

After serving his sentence, Delon Jr. entered the fashion industry and founded a fairly successful high-end clothing company, where he also worked as a model. However, two years later his business collapsed, and Anthony left to conquer Hollywood.
Anushka Delon
In 1987, Alain Delon entered into a civil relationship with Dutch fashion model Rosalie van Bremen. During the fourteen years that the couple lived as husband and wife, they had two children.
The eldest daughter Anushka was born in 1990, already on her twelfth birthday she made her debut in the television film “Lion”, in which she played along with her father. Delon's daughter grew up to be a bright and pretty girl, looking at the world with eyes of different colors.
In general, Anushka leads a quiet and measured life, performs with her father in the theater, sometimes acts in films, does voice-over work for films and participates in various television projects.

Let us remind you that 83-year-old Alain Delon has three recognized children from different women. In 1962, singer and actress Nico gave birth to a son named Christian Aaron “Ari” Päffgen, whose father Alain Delon herself called. But Delon did not recognize paternity, but the child was raised mostly by Delon’s parents, who gave him their last name - Boulogne.
In 1964, Alain Delon married Nathalie Barthelemy , who on October 1, 1964 gave birth to his son, the boy was named Anthony Delon , he also became an actor. After four years of marriage, Alain and Natalie divorced.
In 1987, Delon met the Dutch fashion model Rosalie van Bremen. There was an affair between Rosalie and Alain, which developed into the actor’s second civil marriage. Rosalie gave birth to two children for Delona - daughter Anushka (born in 1990) and son Alain-Fabien (born in 1994). In 1997, Alain and Rosalie separated.

Alain-Fabien Delon
Alain-Fabien, the actor's youngest son from a civil marriage with Rosalie van Bremen, born in 1994, grew up as a child spoiled by attention. When he was seven, his parents separated. At nine he got into the series “Fabio Montale”, where his father dragged him. A few years later, Alain-Fabien became addicted to drugs and almost ended up in a psychiatric clinic, where his mother tried to place him. Alain Delon intervened in the situation. He granted guardianship to the boy and took him in, but at the age of seventeen, Alain-Fabien threw such an incredible party in his apartment that it even ended in shooting and severe injury of one of the girls.
The court turned out to be lenient towards the famous actor and his eccentric son. Father and son escaped with a large fine. Now Alain-Fabien can be seen on the catwalk as a model, as well as in films.

Biography of Alain Delon
The son of a cinema owner and the stepson of a sausage maker
Born on November 8, 1935 in the outskirts of Paris, the son of Fabien and Edith received a magnificent long name at baptism: Alain Fabien Maurice Marcel. The artist's early childhood was spent in the provinces (the city of Bourg-la-Reine). It is interesting that his Corsican father was the owner of a cinema hall, and his mother gave up pharmacy work for a while and checked tickets from visitors. If only they knew then that they were raising a movie star, and on what scale!
Alas, the Delon marriage broke up when Alain was still a baby, and at the age of 5 he had a stepfather - a solid bourgeois who had his own butcher shop. Business was booming, the locals loved Monsieur Boulogne's sausage, and he and his new wife were completely absorbed in their work. For a while, the boy was given to the family by a wet nurse - Madame Nero adored the tomboy. Delon remembers these years as the very thing that happened to him in childhood. But when his adoptive parents died, the teenager returned home.
From butchers to sailors
It must be said that Alain grew up as a naughty boy and did not stay in school. Thinking about the future of their son, Edith and her husband decided that he had had enough of education and would rather continue the family business. So the biography of Alain Delon temporarily became the biography of a butcher. After studying and working a little in someone else's sausage shop (in the capital), 17-year-old Delon was mobilized.
He studied at the Naval Training Center for several months, and then, showing himself to be very undisciplined, the guy “rattled” into the war with Indochina in not the most elite troops. In our opinion - to disbat. He didn’t have to run on the attack: he either sat in the guardhouse or carried out loading and unloading work. But the almost three years that Delon devoted to the service strengthened his character, and he did not regret the time spent one bit.
First steps are always difficult
Alen remembered the time after returning home as a series of carousings - he and his friends squandered army money. Then, of course, he had to get a job. He became a waiter in a pub, though not for long: being an errand boy was not for the proud Delon! Then he began to knock on the thresholds of studios - he wanted to try himself in cinema. The answer was usually the same: “Your appearance is too pretty! There will be no career.” A lucky chance (meeting director Yves Allegret) helped Alain. The director, together with the film's star Edwige Feier, defended the debutant's candidacy in front of the studio, and Delon received his first small role. It was the crime drama When a Woman Interfers.
Dramatic Roles: Rise to Fame
Having starred in several more “passing” films, Delon ended up in Rene Clement’s project “In the Bright Sun”. It was an adaptation of Highsmith's book The Talented Mr. Ripley. The image of a young man who would sell his soul to the devil for a “beautiful” life turned out to be very expressive for the aspiring artist. Do not forget that Alain was self-taught - he learned all the intricacies of the craft, from the ability to act in front of the camera to fencing and “fist fights” on the screen, during the filming process. All the more pleasant was the praise of the demanding and strict Clement. Critics also appreciated the work of yesterday's newcomer, enthusiastically praised him and compared him with another star - Gerard Philip. Thus began the rise to fame.
A very fruitful period began for the Frenchman: he strengthened his authority by playing beautifully in Luchino Visconti’s saga “Rocco and His Brothers.” This time he portrayed a virtuous and sincere guy who was forced to become a boxer in order to feed his family.
Then he was lucky again: he starred with one of the best Italian directors, Michelangelo Antonioni: the drama “Eclipse” was highly praised at the Cannes Film Festival.
At the peak of my career
The actor did not fail in “costume roles”: in the biography of Alain Delon, Visconti’s historical drama “The Leopard” and an adventure film based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas “The Black Tulip” appeared, in which the performer got two roles at once: “the people’s avenger” and his capricious twin - aristocrat.
In the mid-1960s, the actor tried to build a career in Hollywood, but the films of this period did not become commercial hits, and after a couple of years Delon returned to his homeland. The turn of the 1960s-1970s was as successful as the beginning of the star’s creative career. During this period, the artist’s filmography was replenished with cult works: the thrillers “Samurai” and “Swimming Pool,” the action film “Goodbye, Friend,” in which Alain starred with the American Charles Bronson, and the crime drama “The Red Circle.” He was invited by luminaries, the best directors of French cinema, including Jean-Pierre Melville and Louis Malle.
Working with a legend and filming in Soviet cinema
Several times Delon was lucky enough to work with another legend of Russian cinema - Jean Gabin. This is, first of all, a story about the dizzying robbery “Sicilian Clan” and a sad picture “Two in the City”. It is curious that Alain Delon equally masterfully played both lawbreakers and police officers: there are plenty of both in his film biography.
The beginning of the 1980s brought the actor an unusual job: the legendary Soviet directors Alov and Naumov conceived an ambitious project - a political detective film co-produced (USSR, France, Switzerland) based on the novel by Yuri Bondarev “Tehran-43”. The film told about the failed attempt by the Nazis on the leaders of the Big Three (Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill). Almost forty years later, new circumstances of that long-standing history are emerging, and people who were aware of the events are dying. The French policeman Foch (Delon) gets involved in the case.
Finally appreciated!
The actor never received any awards for his roles as heroes and handsome men, but after playing a drunkard in the 1984 film Our History directed by Blier, Delon received the long-awaited Cesar. In the further biography of Alain Delon, there are no projects as high-profile as there were at the beginning and middle of his career (they deservedly entered the annals of world cinema). One can only mention the crime comedy “One Chance for Two” in the late 1990s (in which another “film veteran”, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and 25-year-old Vanessa Paradis played together with Alain).
In the mid-2000s, they remembered the actor again and invited him to star in the threequel of the comedy “Asterix and Obelix.” Although “Asterix at the Olympic Games” is considered the worst film in the franchise (even Clavier did not play Obelix again, and numerous cameos of famous athletes did not save the film), Alain Delon’s appearance in this movie can be considered a triumph. Firstly, he portrays Caesar himself, and, secondly, he delivers a wonderful monologue, summing up his entire work and at the same time ironizing himself.
