Months after appearing at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, where he received an honorary Palme d’Or, Delon have a strokeand has largely dropped out of public view. His retreat from fame was something he had been looking forward to for years, he told GQ in a 2018 interview.

“Look, I’ve been incredibly lucky,” he said. “I’ve been happy all my life; I’ve filmed with the best people. I’ve done what I wanted, with the people I wanted, when I wanted. I think more about the past than I think about the future, right, because my past is extraordinary. Today is incomparable. A life like I’ve had doesn’t come around twice. That’s why when it comes to retirement, I have no regrets.”
