Delon was actually a military veteran.
Delon joined the French navy at age 17 and was sent to Indochina.

Hw wasn’t a very honorable veteran. According to this obituary in today’s Telegraph:
https://archive.ph/X04Jy
“After applying unsuccessfully to be a test pilot, he joined the French navy, reporting to Brest in 1953. Already known to police in connection with petty offences, he left for Indochina as a wireless operator. He was discharged after stealing a military jeep and spent his 20th birthday in prison. On his return to France, he served a further 45 days near Toulon for stealing a gun in Saigon.”

"He briefly presided over the Miss France jury but stepped down in 2013 after a disagreement over some controversial statements, which included critiques on women, LGBTQIA+ rights, and migrants. Despite these controversies, he received a Palme d’Honneur at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, a decision that sparked further debate" Hmm... I wonder what those remarks were? Unwoke, apparently.
Depardieu & Schwarzenegger also stepped into deep doodoo in similar ways, as I recall, causing outrage among the global elites. Feminists & others were outraged.

He was great in "Purple Noon" (1960), based in the book "The Talented Mr. Ripley." He has many other highly regarded movies I hope to see.

Sometimes I just have to put aside the craziness of the actor and recognize when they do some great acting.
Billy Bob Thornton is one of those for me. I have been watching him in Fargo. He does a good job.
Other times, I have a hard time getting past the actors personal life. Robert DeNiro.

You should have paid better attention in French class.

And then there was the child he refused to recognize.
Still, he was a pretty good actor.

I remember is role as William Wilson in Spirits of the Dead. Very strange film which also featured Jane and Peter Fonda in an incestuous romance.
He reminded me of another great French actor, Jean Sorel.

There is nothing wrong with that sentence in French. It is grammatically correct.
