The two have remained blissfully married since then, and when they first wed, Brigitte’s friends told a news outlet that the “Contempt” star was happier than she had been in a while thanks to her sudden and secret marriage with Bernard.

Interestingly, before the two wed, Brigitte’s friends had expressed doubt that she would remarry after her last husband. Nonetheless, the two wed in a quaint little wooden church in Norway and lived together in Brigitte’s luxury 10-bedroom mansion in Saint-Tropez.

A revered Hollywood star, who was once considered one of the most handsome men, now lives a reclusive life after suffering a stroke. Amid his health scare, his kids have been in a bitter feud.

Once hailed as one of the most good-looking men in the world, this alluring French actor, 88, now lives a completely different life than he once did under Hollywood’s spotlight.

The “Flic Story” talent, who is aware of how “handsome” he is, lives reclusively in his home after tragically suffering a stroke in 2019. This occurred a few weeks after he received an honorary Palme d’Or in Cannes, France.

Sitting behind a grand stone wall that spans 1.4 miles (2.3km), his house boasts a sprawling estate called La Brûlerie. It is located 86.99 miles (140km) southeast of Paris, near the Douchy-Montcorbon village in the Loreit department of central France.
More than just his home, according to sources, this is where the silver screen legend desires to be buried, close to a chapel situated on the grounds of a cemetery he built. This cemetery is the resting place for over 30 of his beloved hounds.

Although his home base is in France, reports state that the recluse splits his time between his workspace in Paris, his apartment in Geneva, and his home in Douchy.

Aside from planning where his burial grounds will be, the French heartthrob has been dealing with a contentious familial issue. Three of his children find themselves at war with each other.

Adding another layer of complexity to the familial tension is the fact that the “Purple Noon” actor, whose children confirm, is aware of their dispute, has made it abundantly clear that he has a favorite child.

“I have a daughter who is the love of my life, perhaps a little too much with regard to the others,” he previously confessed.

“To no other woman have I so often said I love you,” he professed in 2008. Based on these statements and other observations, eagle-eyed spectators suggest that perhaps the father’s strained relationship with his sons, who are also both actors, stems from him viewing them as rivals.

Like her doting dad, the actor’s daughter has also publicized the deep love she has for her father. She recently took to Instagram to post a loving tribute to him, which also gave fans an update on how the actor is doing currently.

Alongside a picture of her dad, she penned a heartfelt message written in French. The English translation of that caption reads, “Friday morning I took a picture of my dad. For me. A memory of our times. Having breakfast with him makes me feel endlessly grateful. Unique moment of sweetness.”

She then went on to describe his appearance, calling him “handsome,” and highlighting his “vivid” and “fighting” spirit. “My own immortal,” she wrote.

“I showed him the picture […] I asked him if I could share it with you, his audience that cares about him. So with his permission there it is. And to your worries he answers: ‘Don’t worry.’ ❤️ #love,” the actor’s daughter finished.
The iconic French casanova whom fans have been worried about and who has been living reclusively is none other than Alain Delon. In response to his daughter, Anouchka Delon’s Instagram post, Alain’s admirers took to the Instagram comment section to express their feelings.

“He is beautiful and lovely as always, please be [by] his side, he needs you more than anyone, I know you love your daddy, and care [about] him too much 😘😘😘,” gushed a fan. Similarly, fellow French actor, Gilles Marini, expressed, “Stay close. ❤️ Full of love. Nothing else matter. ❤️❤️.”

Earlier this year, Bernard confirmed that Brigitte experienced difficulty breathing. Luckily, first responders quickly intervened, provided her oxygen, and stayed with her for a while to ensure she was okay.

Bernard explained that the cause of his wife’s respiratory problems was age and weather-related, citing an extreme heatwave circulating Europe at that time. Apparently, the air conditioning system in their La Madrague home was not functioning optimally.

Despite assuring the public of Brigitte’s wellbeing, a news outlet had alleged that she had stayed in the ICU. However, the “A Very Private Affair” talent set the record straight via a handwritten note: “I want to reassure everyone. I am doing very well. The press caused a scandal with an illness that happened to me…”
