It’s been almost a year sinceAnthony Delon lost his mother, Nathalie. On January 21, 2021, the one and only Mrs. Delon died in Paris “surrounded by loved ones”. Aged 79, she was carried away by a “fast cancer”, as Anthony announced to AFP. It was in November 2019 that Nathalie Delon learned that she was suffering from generalized pancreatic cancer. In the columns of Paris Match, the Cheetah’s son had described his mother with emotion and tenderness. “She was a lioness in the body of a sparrow. Small, slender, endowed with a great culture, a subtle intelligence and also a vital energy, an extraordinary physical and mental strength. No one has ever been able to get in his way, or decide for him. He was a sunny person”, affirmed the dad of Lou, Liv and Alyson.
Nathalie Delon had quickly made it clear to her son that she did not want to be treated for her cancer. “I am 78 years old, she told him, I had a blast, and I don’t want to decrepit with chemo, watch myself die…”. “She did not want. We got up, we left. It was brutal”, confided the ex of Sophie Clerico.
“It won’t be easy”
But faced with the disease from which his mother suffered, Anthony Delon had then taken the decision to document everything. And in the columns of TV Star, the actor revealed that he had set up a heartbreaking project, exactly 37 days before the death of Nathalie. “During the confinement, I worked on several projects. I wrote narrative arches for an international series for which I cannot give you details. And indeed, I filmed the last thirty-seven days of my mother. There is nothing indecent or disturbing. It is not a question of showing the process of the disease but of showing it. I should start editing in January. It won’t be easy but it’s an important testimony for all of us: my daughters, me, her friends, those who loved her“, he confides, moved. An important tribute, which allows the family to mourn.
