Steadying himself on a crutch, veteran French film star Alain Delon made a rare public appearance on Friday at the funeral of a fellow giant of French cinema, Jean-Paul Belmondo, who died on Monday at the age of 88, APA reports citing Reuters.
Belmondo, a charismatic actor who often performed his own daring stunts, switched from existential New Wave roles in the 1960s to mainstream films and became one of France’s most beloved comedy and action heroes.
Family members and film figures Рincluding Delon and director Claude Lelouch Рgathered in the Saint-Germain-des-Pr̩s church in central Paris for the funeral, a day after a national tribute led by President Emmanuel Macron.
Delon, 85, stayed for some time in front of the church, where he was applauded by Belmondo fans massed outside.
