Anthony Delon shocked: how he learned of the birth of his sister Anouchka

Anthony Delon looks back on his relationship with his father, Alain Delon, in his autobiography Between dog and wolf, published this Thursday, March 10, 2022. A relationship so tense since his childhood, that his father had not announced the birth of his half- sister Anouchka in 1990.

In his autobiography Between dog and wolf, published by Cherche-Midi editions this Thursday, March 10, 2022, Anthony Delon details his relationship with his fatherAlain Delon, since his childhood. A strained relationshipmarked by a rough upbringing, sometimes violent, like this time the actor whipped him in a fit of rage. This dark aspect of his father, the eldest of the Delon clan explains it by his divorce with his mother, Nathalie Delon, in 1968, tired of having been deceived. From there, “he left the field open to a slow depression which began to make its bed insidiously”, he writes.

In 1987, Alain Delon meets Rosalie Van Breemen, a Dutch model. At that time, Anthony Delon reaped the success of his first steps in the cinemawhen it has just turned in Chronicle of an announced death in 1986. But the arguments and ego issues widen the distance with his father. So much so that the star of The swimming pool don’t even bother to announce to his eldest the birth of his half-sisterAnouchka, November 25, 1990. Indeed, the author explains that he unexpectedly learned that he was a big brother on the radio.

Anthony Delon left it to Anouchka Delon to be “executor” of their father

If their relationship has been on the rocks for decades, the two actors seem to be reconciled today, especially since the death of Nathalie Delon on January 21, 2021, following pancreatic cancer. Alain Delon has since proven “unusually tender” towards his son, calling him “my little one” and offering him to manage one’s affairs. Very busy with his leather jacket brand Anthony Delon 1985, the 57-year-old star turned down his offer, leaving it to her little sister to take care of it. “She will also be his executrixa function that I refused a decade ago”ends Anthony Delon in his autobiography, adding that he “loved and loves all the members of this family”.
