"Melancholic, popular, secretive, he was more than a star: a French monument," French president Emmanuel Macron said of Delon, one of the last vestiges of French New Wave cinema.
"I came down with a girl that I liked, who loved me... I took it all in, did the red carpet but even then, I felt at home... not least and I say this without pretension because it was made clear to me that I was not bad looking."
Delon's later years were marked by a bitter feud between his children over his care. He was also criticized for his far-right political beliefs, affecting his legacy.
