Subsequently, it was Alain Delon who offered him his first role in For the skin of a cop in 1981, then in The fighterin 1983.

He was twice my age and took me under his wing, she explained in the columns of Paris Match, in 2018. His view of me had immense value”. But after three years of relationship, the two lovers separate. However, after breaking off contact, they now maintain “a bond of friendship”. Anne Parillaud then found love with Luc Besson thanks to whom she was revealed to the general public for her role in Nikita. Together, in 1987, they welcomed a little girl named Juliette.
