'The Handsome Man of the Century' Alain Delon Decides on Euthanasia

[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Alain Delon, the French actor known as the 'handsome man of the century,' has decided to undergo euthanasia if his health deteriorates further.

On the 20th (local time), according to local media, Delon's son, Anthony Delon, recently responded in an interview with French RTL radio to the question, "Is it true that Delon wants euthanasia?" by saying, "Yes. He asked me to do so."

Anthony said that Delon promised to stay by his side and watch over him when he decides the moment to leave this world.

This is not the first time he has expressed his intention for euthanasia. In an interview last year with French public broadcaster TV5 Monde, Delon said, "I live in Switzerland, where euthanasia is legal, not in France where it is illegal. If the situation arises, I will sit down and choose euthanasia."

Born in 1935, he has been living in Switzerland since 2019 after being hospitalized and undergoing surgery for a stroke. Le Point stated, "Delon holds dual citizenship in France and Switzerland, so legally there is no problem with choosing euthanasia."
