Muriel Robin has shared rare insights into the unique relationship she had with French cinema icon Alain Delon. Between admiration and humor, the former friend of Pierre Palmade surprised the audience with several unexpected personal anecdotes. Appearing on the show “Quelle époque!”, the comedian reflected on her career, memorable moments, and love life. She spoke fondly of Alain Delon with tenderness and a touch of self-deprecation.
Muriel Robin honored and as sincere as ever On May 4th, Muriel Robin received a Molière d’honneur to celebrate her entire career. This was a significant recognition for the major figure in French comedy, known for both her talent and her frankness. Appearing on “Quelle époque!” on May 9th, the artist emotionally opened up about this symbolic moment. She took the opportunity to pay tribute to several personalities who have influenced her professional life, especially her former PR agent Tony Krantz. She also candidly explained why she mentioned Pierre Palmade: “If I don’t mention him, I have a memory problem!” she stated frankly to the guests.
During the show, Muriel Robin also shared several memorable personal stories. True to her direct style, she spoke about contracting tuberculosis in her youth. However, it was her story about Alain Delon that captured the audience’s attention. The comedian humorously revealed that she had once proposed to the actor. “I proposed to him, yes,” she recounted, before adding, amused: “But luckily, he said no.” This unexpected revelation sparked laughter on the show that Saturday night.
A relationship full of admiration and self-deprecation Muriel Robin didn’t stop at that first anecdote. She then recounted how Alain Delon’s perspective on her had changed several years later. “A few years later, he saw me, physically, I had changed,” the comedian explained with amusement. According to her, the actor then said to her, “Ah, if you had been like that, I might have said yes.” A remark to which Muriel Robin immediately responded with a lot of mischief: “Yes, but I no longer want to!” This lighthearted and sincere moment perfectly illustrates the special relationship they had, blending fascination, humor, and tenderness. At that time, Muriel Robin was already with Anne Le Nen, whom she eventually married in February 2021. Very happy in this relationship, the comedian revealed that Alain Delon seemed more interested in her wife than in herself. “He was much more interested in my wife than in me,” she confessed ironically on the show. Always with humor, she then added, “I would dare say that Anne, who is not completely ugly and not completely dumb, was preferred to Alain Delon by me!” This anecdote once again elicited laughter from the audience. Through these insights, Muriel Robin shows a more intimate side of her personality, between sincerity, affection, and self-assured self-deprecation.
