After the disappearance of Alain Delon in August 2024, his son Anthony Delon agreed to look back on his journey in an interview with Le Figaro. During a nighttime stroll in Paris, the actor openly discussed a tumultuous period in his youth, particularly his time in prison as a young adult, which profoundly changed the course of his life.
Anthony Delon, at 18 years old, was incarcerated for serious reasons after a turbulent adolescence marked by conflicts with authority, provocations, and school exclusions. He expressed his struggle with authority and desire for freedom, explaining how he pushed boundaries to the extreme. Circumstances led to his arrest while driving a stolen car and carrying a stolen gun from a gangster, Bruno Sulak, which landed him in prison.
Incarcerated at Bois d’Arcy Prison in Yvelines for a month, Anthony Delon reflected on the impact of his brief but impactful experience behind bars. He acknowledged the hardship of being confined and recognized his mistake, leading him to take control of his life upon release. This pivotal moment prompted him to start a new path by creating a line of leather jackets, eventually leading him into the world of cinema.
