The protagonist of El gatopardo , A full sun and Rocco and his brothers suffered a few weeks ago a cardiovascular accident and a slight cerebral hemorrhage, according to the press confirmed last week his eldest son Anthony Delon, stepbrother of Alain-Fabien.

The actor was operated in the Parisian hospital of the Pitié-Salpétriere, where he spent three weeks in intensive care. And at the end of July he was transferred to the Genolier clinic in Switzerland, a clinic frequented by celebrities, millionaires and politicians from around the world.

Alain Delon's health has deteriorated in recent months. In mid-June, he was admitted to the American Hospital of Neuilly sur Seine, outside Paris, "due to dizziness and minor headaches."

The French actor received in May the honorary Golden Palm of the Cannes Festival for his career, an award that was surrounded by controversy. The American association Women and Hollywood (Women and Hollywood) asked the organizers of the festival not to give him the prize because they say that the actor is "racist, homophobic and misogynist" and a sympathizer of the extreme right.

Despite the controversy raised in social networks and in the press around the world, the Cannes Festival continued with the ceremony. "We do not give the Nobel Prize to Delon, it is an honorary Palma for his career," Thierry Frémaux, head of the Cannes Festival , recalled, removing iron from the matter.
