He was the world’s most handsome man

As a 25-year-old, French movie star Alain Delon was known as the “most seductive man in cinema history.”

When he appeared on screen, his otherworldly handsomeness left viewers breathless and in real life, “ladies would pass out at the mere sight of him.”But the actor, an international symbol from the 1960s to 1980s, had a life embroiled in controversies, including infidelities, family feuds and even an accusation of murder.

In 2019, Delon fell quiet after having a stroke, and since he retreated from the public, his name emerged again on August 18, 2024, the day he died at 88.
