'The Handsome of the Century' French actor Alain Delon has passed away. He was 88.

According to the French media 'Riveracion' on the 18th, the bereaved family announced that Alain Delon had passed away on the same day. Alain Delon's three children "My father ended his life peacefully at home in the presence of his family." The cause of death was not disclosed.

Delong, who made her film debut in 1958 with the film 'When the Woman Arrives', rose to the top star ranks after playing the role of Ripley in the global hit 'The Sun Is Full'. In the film, he was described as the 'most handsome man in the world' for his good looks. Later, he led the heyday of French cinema in the 1960s with Kathryn Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo. He received the Legion d'Honneur, the highest order awarded by the French government in 1991, the honorary Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1995, and the honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival in 2019.



Alain Delong drew attention when it was revealed that he decided to euthanize in March 2022.

Alain Delon, who suffered a stroke and underwent surgery in 2019, reportedly stayed in Switzerland, where all his assets were cleared and euthanized. At the time, he said in a French TV 5-Monde interview that `I live in Switzerland, not France, where euthanasia is illegal. If there is a situation to do so, I will not hesitate to choose euthanasia.'
