. In fact, Maxime Chattam’s companion confronted her guest with a portrait of the 88-year-old actor. “Alain Delon was president of the jury the day I handed over my Miss France crown to Élodie Gossuin”, she recalled when discovering the portrait.

Alain Delon offered his help to Sonia Rolland
“My father was a fan of his. And I grew up with his films because when I was in Africa, we didn’t go to the cinema but we had the K7s that my father’s friends sent him from France”, in fact remembered the ex-beauty queen. Growing up with her films allowed Sonia Rolland to have a “fascination for this gentleman”which only grew from the day she met him.
A day that she will never forget and which allowed her to discover “someone very human who advised and guided me”. With such a revelation, Faustine Bollaert wanted to know to what extent Alain Delon was able to advise and help Sonia Rolland. “After Miss France, a dinner always follows the election.

However, the ex-beauty queen assures her, if Alain Delon offered to help her, he warned her that there was no way he would “piston”.
