The rest after the ad
Guest on the set of What an era ! on France 2 on April 20, 2024 for the promotion of the play I wouldn’t have gotten there if…,Anne Parillaud remembered with tenderness, but also a little bitterness, her love story with Alain Delon. In a relationship with the actor from 1981 to 1986, the actress won a Caesar for her role in the film Nikita (1990) revealed that the father of Anthony, Alain-Fabien and Anouchka had not always been tender with her, quite the contrary. As a reminder at the time, she was 20, he was 46.”He devalued me a lot“, the actress confided to Léa Salamé and Christophe Dechavanne, then explaining that she accepted this behavior because of her parents who had belittled her enormously.
Finally after their breakup, Alain Delon takes the first step and tries to reconnect with his ex. Proud of her performance in a film, he calls her back to ask her forgiveness but also to tell her that she is an exceptional actress. “It was complicated at first and then one day, surprisingly, after another film that I had made with Daniel Auteuil, on psychoanalysis, where I played a patient…, he called me, explained Anne Parillaud on France 2. Shyness comes from there too, because I go with people who devalue me, just as my parents were able to devalue me, and I repeat the pattern (…) After this film, he called me, he was the one who reconnected. He said to me, ‘Sorry, I have to admit and I’m telling you today, you are a very great actress.’ And There you go. I told him ‘thank you’, because I knew what it meant for him to recognize it. And it helped me, that he recognized it, it was important. I left with this in my backpack.“
An exchange which was a real relief for the 63-year-old actress who has long given Alain Delon a paternal place in her life. “Alain Delon represented a father figure for me. He was twice my age and took me under his wing“, she declared to our colleagues at Paris Match in February 2018.

On the set of C to you (France 5), Anne Parillaud also recognized immense qualities in the actor who wanted to have her appear in two films that he wrote in 1981 and 1983: For the skin of a cop And The fighter. “He made me grow up, but he almost wanted to make me grow up too quickly. When he hired me for his films I wasn’t the age of the characters, and he absolutely wanted me to look like a woman whereas I was just out of adolescence and so he wanted to make me mature a little faster than my natural rhythm…“, she revealed.
