JEAN-CL BRIALY
Rumors have long abound about Delon’s early homosexual dallianc, exacerbated by the tails of his close and fluential iendship wh gay French New Wave actor Jean-Cl Brialy at the outset of his reer, but Delon’s actual sexualy is here ls the pot (as are his recent, unfortunate homophobic statements) than the specific homoerotic power that Delon wield his very face and body. His unreasonable pretts hasn’t necsarily ma him a gay in, but Purple Noon (and to a certa extent Visnti’s Roc and His Brothers, released the same year) did forever tablish him as a figure of simmerg homoeroticism. While not as fahful to the events of Highsmh’s book as Anthony Mghella’s 1999 adaptatn, Clément’s versn siarly soaks a homoeroticism as pervasive as the sunlight on the Mederranean.
Bergan lls him "openly gay", although his tobgraphi he scrib himself as bisexual.
