What is it like to be the son of not just a famous, but everyone's favorite actor? Anthony Delon, the son of the idol of millions of Alain Delon, probably knows about it. At first, he resisted the acting profession, but the genes did their job, and the audience received a second Delon-actor.
True, he is no longer a French actor, but an American one, but that is not the point. His portfolio today includes drama films, comedies, melodramas and crime films.
Biography
Anthony Delon was born in Los Angeles in 1964. His mother - Natalie Delon - was an actress, like his father. When the boy was two years old, their family moved to Paris, where Anthony spent his childhood.
He grew up as a very wayward child, so his parents first sent him to a French school, and then transferred to the military, where discipline was stricter and more rigid. The fact is that by that time Alain and Natalie had divorced, and my mother could not cope with a violent teenager.
When Natalie returned to Los Angeles, Anthony came under the tutelage of his father. He was still uncontrollable, and Alain sent him to one of the most closed schools, where there was the most severe discipline. Partly because of this, partly because of the famous actor's employment, partly because of Anthony's character, father and son saw each other very rarely, and there was not much intimacy between them.
Having barely finished school, Anthony went to Nigeria to participate in the filming of documentaries there. This was a colossal experience for the young man - both life and cinematic. For some unknown reason, Anthony returned to Paris, and then real adventures came into his life.
True, they did not have a romantic character - rather, on the contrary. The police once stopped Delon Jr.'s car and detained him for a very important reason: during a search they found a weapon in his possession, and the car was listed as stolen. This adventure led him to jail, where he spent only a month.
When he was released, the guy decided that there should no longer be such situations in his life, and decided to radically change his lifestyle: to go into business.
With his charisma, energies and connections, it was not that easy to do, but also not so difficult. Anthony decided to start selling leather jackets and jackets in his own boutique. Things were going very well for him: clients went to the famous surname, and Anthony turned out to be a good businessman. Photos of him began to appear in many business magazines in France - he was cited as an example as the best young businessman in Paris.
However, the character can not go anywhere - he wanted more freedom and independence, after all, business requires constant attention. And then the thought comes to his mind to try himself in the acting profession. After all, his parents could become actors, which means he can …
And having been a businessman for only two years, he changes Paris to New York, where he begins his acting tests. The first experiments in cinema turned out to be successful, and a little later Anthony Delon became famous at all - the audience began to recognize him, and film critics highly appreciated his acting skills.
Only one thing did not suit him in the opuses of journalists: they all the time compared Anthony with his father Alain. This comparison, naturally, was not in favor of Delon-Maldshiy, because he was just gaining experience, and his father was at the height of his fame.
But he had no choice but to pave his way in the film industry, not paying attention to the not very flattering reviews of some hacks.
Film career
In the film "A Desert on Fire" (1997), Anthony played the role of a young man who is looking for his mother. As a child, he got lost in a helicopter crash over the Sahara, and was picked up by a local resident, Emir. He did not know anything about the boy, he just took him to him and raised him like his son. And when Ben grew up, he told him everything. Of course, the young man wanted to know who his mother is and where she is now.
The search leads him to Monte Carlo, where they meet with his mother, and she persuades him to stay in America. However, when disturbing news comes from his adoptive father, he returns to a loved one to protect him.
Anthony is considered an American actor, but he often travels to France and starred in French films. An example is the "More attendants" tape, which slightly displays the biography of the actor himself. According to the plot, the young man really wants to become a businessman, but he does not have the appropriate education. And when he goes to college, he has to face serious problems there too: the dean's fraud. And a young, inexperienced youth has to understand this. Anthony played here a friend of the protagonist and his ally in defending the truth.
There are two similar films in his filmography, where he plays a lover - these are the tapes "French Ties" and "The Arab Prince". The plots of both films are exciting and interesting, with unexpected twists. And there, and there the heroes will have to fight for their love.
There are many romantic stories in Anthony Delon's portfolio, one of them is the film "Love is not love" (2017). This is a comedy about Valentine's Day, about Paris and about four couples of lovers who solve relationship problems. It seems that many lovers recognize themselves in this film.
Personal life
Despite the unflattering characteristics that Anthony Delon received at school, he turned out to be a rather reliable family man: he has long been legally married to Sophie Clereco. They have two daughters: one is named Lup, the other is Liv.
In his spare time, Anthony loves to drive cars - he is a professional racer. He also does not miss an opportunity to take part in nature protection events.
Recently, the actor has become interested in the philosophy of Buddhism.
