CANNES, FRANCE ¨C France¡¯s Alain Delon, set on Sunday to receive an honorary prize at Cannes that has sparked scrutiny of his views on women and same-sex couples, said in a newspaper interview that as an actor at least, he was beyond reproach.
¡°People can say what they want, I¡¯m used to it. But there¡¯s nothing to be said about my career. It¡¯s irreproachable,¡± Delon, 83, was quoted as saying in the Journal Du Dimanche (JDD).
One of Europe¡¯s most acclaimed actors for more than five decades and particularly admired in his native France, Delon has starred in films including Luchino Visconti¡¯s ¡°The Leopard,¡± which won the top prize at Cannes¡¯ cinema showcase in 1963.
