Alain Delon
Another leading man that has our eye is Alain Delon. If Jean-Paul Belmondo is the rough "bad boy" of French New Wave, Delon is his more elegant, beautiful brother with a cool, masculine air. Because of his dashing good looks, he has been called the male Brigitte Bardot, and has been compared to James Dean. Delon is iconic for his timeless sense of fashion, trench coats, Borsalino hats, and perfectly-tailored suits. Today, he even has his own fashion label. In movies like
The Samurai (1967), where he plays a gangster, he carries out his hits with elegant style and finesse. Delon is also featured on the album cover of The Smiths' album
The Queen is Dead.
