Style Setters | Mr Alain Delon 

Delon made a great choice not to stay attached to Hollywood and to all it's bad films (with quite a few exceptions). His career in Europe was unique and he is famous and a star there and in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Nothing else is necessary.

The sexiest and the most handsome man ever

Most beautiful man since the raise of Homo sapiens.

i m glad this legend is still alive

Delon didn't need Hollywood, his films are legendary. Just Le Samourai alone is the greatest film ever made and his performance as Jef Costello is also legendary!

Alain Delon is a beautiful Man

Again, he's absolutely. STUNNINGLY HANDSOME.........!!!!!!!!!!! Peace

What a gorgeous man.

A living Legend.

I can't not scream whenever Alain delon's eyes are seen under the light and they look so clear even in black and white, how can someone look so handsome? his eyes are no joke

The narrator says that Delon was never "mythologized" like James Dean or Marlon Brando and that was due to his own fault for not wanting to learn English to make it big in Hollywood. I hate that arrogance and implication that every actor has to make it in Hollywood to enjoy a certain level of fame that can only be validated by success in Hollywood. Actors like Delon and especially Brigitte Bardot didn't need Hollywood and they still achieved world fame on par with any Hollywood A-lister of their time. In fact I think Hollywood would have reduced big stars like Delon and BB to silly stereotypical French characters anyways and they might not have turned out to enjoy the great careers that they ended up having with mostly French films. That's why Sophia Loren's Italian films are better than her Hollywood films.

Legend. Icon. Forever.

Ha! Of course, the narrator is only speaking from his own experience. Hollywood is not the ultimate film-making universe. In Europe (what some English do not consider themselves to be a part of), French and Italian cinema and European actors were just as if not more famous and beloved than their Hollywood counterparts. I still remember my mother ‘drooling’ over Delon, Belmondo, but Dean and Brando not so much. Plus, Hollywood sell products, Europe’s approach is more humane and natural.

A perfectly made video. Alain Delon was and still is the one who gave the European film an international profile.

The most hand some ever as well a very nice guy and a good actor. Popular also among men for his action movies.

Most handsome man ever. Simple.

My mom loves Alain Delon. I love to watch movies with her and she often mention him as her favourite actor.

Respect Mr. Delon

Hes the definition of male beauty

Living legend.

Alain delon is the best!!!

He did the right thing by returning to France. He played in some great French films!

This narration if full of untruths, approximations .. Among others, he managed english quite good and he really said "I'd like to be loved the way I love when I love"

Mr Delon is my earliest exposure to the romanticised Western ideal masculinity. The exposure to Mr Delon at tender age set my aesthetic standard for men. Dark hair, round eyed, dark bushy eyebrows. Never a fan of blonde ever since.

Bullshit. Delon said: I want to be loved like I love when I love (j'aime qu'on m'aime comme j'aime quand j'aime)

Delon was huge in Europe, believe me. For us he was "the man"!

"Handsome" is the word for him!

The most beautifule man ever

Most certainly he IS a 20th Century ICON , a beauty of a man, still a true Legend of the Universal Cinema. He has endured, because he has a very strong sense of himself. That translates as magic onto the screen.

Gorgeous man!

Good work Mr.Porter.Mr.Delon is so handsome man and your story make him even more atractive.

Alain Delon 👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️

Alian is a really gentleman 😍😍

I just read Delon's IMDb biography. They also credit him with saying "I Want to be Loved Like I Love Myself". I choose to believe your version. But - Porter is way off when he says Delon didn't master English "sufficiently". He was offered a contract by David Selznick and refused it. American film makers didn't know how to cast this beautiful and talented Frenchman.

I come from Romania and even there he was idolized. Europeans loved and still love him, the whole world is not only USA!!

Found out about this guy from The Smiths, and I’m happy I did!

It's actually known as bon chic, bon genre.

Alain Delon un gran actor y el mas guapo de todos los tiempos....

The Holy Trinity of Adonisian Icons

every woman I know I show his picture and they instantly are mesmerized He is like Human Lithium

Его душа наложила отпечаток на его внешность.несравненный мужчина! Очень, очень хорош, притягателен в любрм возрасте! И талантлив! Возле него все меркнут!

Любимый актер!

Bullshit he did not say I like to be loved like I love myself. But like i love

Well done, Mr. Porter!

In fact there`s no other actor i know who is more mythologized. Only think of what happened to his murdered bodyguard, his contacts with french conservative presidents, his businesses with french weapon industry or his involvement in the Marseille Mafia. We know only less about his time as parachuter in indochina. This man is surrounded by secrets.

Thank God he didn't make his career in USA! He made good and excellent movies in Europe!!!

M.Alain Delon

An extremely Handsome man

Because language is not just only pronouncation & vocabulary, it's a mentality & a culture as well, That's why most of the foreign actors, who made it to the A Listers in Hollywood; were of Anglo cultures backgrounds, wheather, Australians, British or Newzealenders, or even South African sometimes, cause, they only needed to change the accent, while there only from other cultures, who managed to break the language barrier & become international, but we all still love Alain Delon, weather he can speak in English or not, actually it was for his best interest to remain uniquely an international French icon, who has his on character & persona.

Delon until 30-35 years old was very beautiful. After this beauty is gone

The epitome of suave

Nicely done.

Alain Delon es insuperable. Punto final.

Lovely video!

Oui!

Bonjour merci c'est vraiment très bien merci beaucoup.

MR. Delon-=sinonim=legend

Legend forever....

Memory life forever,🤷‍♂️⚠️🤔❤

Best movies of Alain Delon are Plein Solei, La Piscina and Le Cerlce Rouge

2021 Alain Delon the most handsomest man in the world period

Bon chic bon genre, merci.

❤❤❤❤💘

Le Samouraï is a stylish, brooding, influential film that may have single-handedly defined a genre of its own. Its echos are seen in so many films over the last 56 years since its release.

Bon chic bon genre!!!

I like to be loved like i love myself 💗💖💝

Delon is pure class and truly masculine. Brando and Dean not so much. Delon by a mile.

Like he says....I liked 2 b loved as I loved myself, don't we alll,!!!! ABSOLUTELY TRUE.....I

Его красота для нас это радость.

Viva Alain!!!

Alain Delon is far superior as an idol of beauty, suave and legendary than the 2 Americans. In Europe, in 2022 he is still regarded a Giant. In Greece we say to a man who is overconfident in there own looks 'who do u think you are, Alain Delon'? I know this is said in Italy. We never here this about Brando or Dean Alain Delon is the alpha and omega of male mythology of the modern era. He is the summit of Mt Olympus He is the Platinum Concorde

Handsome man

Thanks for the video, Brick Top

Hermoso

Never before has there been a more photogenic male celebrity, Elvis and Connery were close seconds but didn’t quite rival Delon, he was a self-validated one-off. Unadulterated magnetism.

Frankly Alain Delon was as big if not bigger than Brando or Dean around the world.

Best he did not stay in Hollywood he is a best always

My name is Jean-Pierre Melville and I approve this message.

THIS COMMENTS ARE ALL WRONG AND POOR !!!! MANY OF HIS MOVIES WERE SHOOTED IN FRENCH VERSION AND ENGLISH, HE ALSO PLAYED IN ITALIANS ETC HE IS A SUPERSTAR ...

🕊⚜🙏🏻

We don't have men like him anymore. I'm born in the wrong era 😩

But in the 1920s you had the beginning of modern art in Russia and heartthrobs like Valentino..

Delon had nothing to do with the so called "Nouvelle vague".

Good for him coming back to Europe and choosing to pursue a career in French and Italian Cinema. All his Hollywood roles were lame and lacked something, it's like they couldn't allow a Frenchman to appear "cooler" than his american co-stars, it's so obvious watching the few movies he made there. They always had to make the american more likable, interesting or braver or more capable and manly, it's incredibly gratting. Had he stayed there he would just have played a variety of foreigner roles (mostly french stereotypes) that would never be given the gravitas his talent deserved. In fact, Belmondo was also courted by Hollywood at some point but he never even tried to go there because he knew he'd never get roles like in France and he was entirely right about it, Hollywood would have found a way to diminish even Belmondo's masculine physicality when acting because they would have felt so threatened by it. Also, in what world wasn't he "mythologised"? The only place where he isn't is the USA and that's because they're culturally insular. But the USA isn't the blueprint for the world and Delon is the epitome of male beauty in much of the rest of the world.

what does he say at 4:22? I've been looking up the name of the style but can't seem to spell what hes saying

un rezumat pretios

"Resolutely heterosexual" 🙃🙃

I m glad Delon did not stay with Hollywood. There are many beautiful faces on Earth, but only one Alen Delon, it is much more than have beautiful face and body, it is inner fire

But his English is rather good, fluent, to my modest opinion. Nevertheless, he made a great carrier in France and we are happy to rhe fact.

I'll add to the pile of complaints: The 50's was NOT when Modernism started. Modernism is dated to the teens. The 50's is actually the inception of Postmodernity. And the French New Wave--with its techniques of jump cut and detournement---are the quintessential postmodernists in cinema.

Thank you! Who is this Porter guy? He obviously doesn't like Delon. Also, his reference to the old laides who push and shove to see their idol - women of all ages I am certain, still find him very sexy and attractive. We all know who Alain Delon is. But I suspect NO ONE knows who "Mr. Porter" is.

Delon speaks good English and dresses like a Frenchman.

Most aesthetically perfect faces : (M) Alain Delon --- (F) Kim Jisoo --- Most subversive social influencer of the 1960's: John Lennon.

He has never been part of the new wave. Having played for Visconti and Clement he was included in the cinema despised by the new wave

The French (always) have that Superiority / inferiority Complex : that the World speaks English (thanks in no small part to our older brother : America) France (naturellement) wish that it spoke French BTW I simply adore Alain Delon

What do you mean he has not been mythologized, I bet the people who know who James Dean was are a subset of those who know who Alain Delon is in Europe

there is nothing wrong with his statement on love. you should learn to love yourself first as the begining of all relationships starts towards one's own self

NAVERNO TAK VIGLEDIAT BOGI SMERTNI NE MOJET BIT TOKIM -SOVERSHENSTVOM

il a dit " j'aime qu'on m'aime comme je m'aime " ce que tu viens de dire ne veut rien dire .

"Resolutely Heterosexual" I would doubt that he made a self analysis about this....
