Legendary French actor Alain Delon, 83, suffered a stroke a few weeks ago and is currently 'resting' in Switzerland, his son revealed yesterday.
Anthony Delon said his father's vital functions were 'perfect and his condition stabilised, according to doctors'. His son said Delon was operated on at a hospital in Paris, where he stayed three weeks in intensive care.
'The whole family took turns at his bedside, my brother, my sister and my mother Nathalie,' Anthony Delon said.
He added that his father 'went back to Switzerland and is resting quietly in a clinic'.
'My sister who now resides in Switzerland, is following his recovery closely and keeps us informed of his daily progress,' his son said.
He received an honorary Palme d'Or award at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival in May.
