“Alain Delon has lost none of his lucidity, but is physically diminished,” according to his lawyer

“Alain Delon is lucid, contrary to what his sons say, and is only physically impaired,” declares the actor’s lawyer Christophe Ayela in an interview published Monday in “Le Parisien”.

“Alain Delon has not lost his lucidity, as his sons claim, he is only physically diminished”declares his lawyer Christophe Ayela in an interview with Parisian published Monday. The lawyer was reacting to the request for guardianship made by his son Anthony, supported by another son, Alain-Fabien.

“I do not agree with his sons, who want to put him under guardianship. This seems unnecessary and vexatious to me”estimated the lawyer of the 88-year-old actor. “I affirm that he is still very coherent. Alain Delon is certainly diminished, but he is still with us”. He refuted the argument according to which a doctor had observed a “abolition of discernment” from the star: “This doctor is not an expert. He must have come across a day when he was not in good shape and he probably turned him away”.

Treatment stopped

Another doctor mandated by the Montargis public prosecutor’s office, Alain Delon residing in Douchy (Loiret), must soon assess his state of health. A measure of judicial protection could then be decided. Me Ayela said she hoped that this doctor would recommend the resumption of medical treatment from which her client no longer benefits, and which Alain Delon’s daughter, Anouchka, insists on. “I find it inconceivable and shocking that his sons stopped his treatment without medical advice”he stressed.

Anthony Delon for his part affirmed, in an interview published Sunday by the Swiss daily The morningthat his father was not left without care. “He is being followed here in Douchy by an extremely competent doctor” And “we also have recognized specialists in France”he said. “One of the treatments administered to him, experimental, was stopped last summer, in agreement with my father, my brother and my sister. Because he could no longer tolerate this treatment, and this relentlessness threatened in reality of killing him”according to Anthony Delon.

Discernment abolished

The latter welcomed the upcoming medical expertise, which according to him “will help protect [son] father, to confirm what the five tests carried out since 2019 have revealed, and to ratify what the public prosecutor announced, that is to say that his discernment is abolished.

Since the beginning of January, the star’s three children have been waging a fratricidal war, each swearing to defend their father’s best interests. Anouchka Delon calls for him to be treated in Switzerland, where she lives, while Anthony and Alain-Fabien say they respect their father’s wish to end his days at his property in Douchy.
