The story was beautiful but has just experienced a slight slippage.
While everyone has been welcoming for two days the choice of the Walk of Fame to offer a star to Alain Delon on its famous boulevard, the organization has just denied.
Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame and head of media relations for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said on Twitter: "This is not true."
Asked by journalist Nick Rizo on Twitter about the honor reserved for the Samurai, his response was scathing.
“He was never appointed.
We can only take into account requests that we receive.
Nothing was deposited.
I am appalled that
Paris Match
can write a story without calling us for confirmation, ”she replied on the social network.
All is not lost
The information, revealed by Paris Match, had been taken up by many media, including
20 Minutes
. Contacted by Cover Media, Caroline Detrez, deputy editor of
Paris Match
, explains: “The information coming to us from the close entourage of Alain Delon, we had no doubts. Alain Delon is not a usurper: he has never claimed any victory that does not belong to him. He's had them almost all, except maybe that Walk of Fame star he deserves. Hopefully this mess will allow him to see his name on Hollywood Boulevard ”.
And indeed, there is hope.
Faced with complaints from fans of the French actor, Ana Martinez left the door open.
“Don't blame us for this.
His team should have applied for several years.
FYI, the walkoffame.com nomination process, ”she shared.
All hopes are therefore permitted!
