When he was young, Delon joined the army, then worked many manual labor jobs such as porter, maid... During this time, he became friends with young actor Jean Claude Brialy, who introduced him to director Yves Allégret, starting Delon's film career.
From a young age, Delon possessed a striking height and appearance. After taking part in his first small role in "Quand la femme s'en mêle" in 1957, he quickly gained attention from the audience and was invited to participate in many different film and television projects.

Scandalous personal life
Despite his brilliant career, Alain Delon has caused controversy many times because of his scandalous personal information.
In 1959, he became engaged to Schneider but then had an affair with German singer Christa Päffgen (Nico) and had a child with her in 1962. The couple annulled their engagement in 1963.
A year later, he married model and actress Nathalie Barthélémy, but the marriage only lasted five years. She was also his only legal wife.
After that, Delon had many lovers but never married, including singer - actress Dalida, Anne Parillaud, Lana Wood, Catherine Bleynie... and had at least 3 children.
The French actor is famous for his womanizing, having been exposed for having affairs and beating his wife and children... Delon's love affairs have consumed a lot of media ink, tarnishing his reputation.
In 2019, Delon's Palme d'Or award was met with public outcry due to his past accusations of violence against women and his opposition to same-sex couples adopting children.
In his final years, Delon became physically and mentally weak. According to the Guardian, the actor returned to live in seclusion at his estate in Douchy before his death. This was also the place where his three children constantly fought and sued over his property.
The land, which Delon bought in 1971, is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The last time he was seen by the public was at a movie screening in the Château Renard commune near his home in May 2023.
