Nolwenn Leroy experienced a surprising and unexpected moment with Alain Delon. Invited to NRJ, the singer recounted a mishap. On her birthday, she hung up on the actor who was hitting on Muriel Robin. This memory dates back to a time when prank calls were common. Caught off guard by a masked call, the former Star Academy winner did not believe the caller’s identity. A memorable moment for her as she plans to make a musical comeback in 2027.
Nolwenn Leroy tricked by an unexpected call
Camille Combal’s guest on ‘Chez Camille’ on NRJ, Nolwenn Leroy shared a surprising story about Alain Delon. The singer explained that the actor had called her on her birthday after hearing about it on the radio. However, when she answered her phone that morning, she did not suspect it was really the famous actor. “Hello, this is Alain Delon,” he reportedly said. Without thinking further, Nolwenn Leroy hung up on the actor, convinced it was simply a joke from a loved one.
Moments later, Alain Delon called back a second time and left a voicemail, which made Nolwenn Leroy realize her mistake. “I was mortified,” she confessed on NRJ, recalling the embarrassing incident. She admitted she never expected a personal call from the actor, even though they had met before. Eventually, she had the chance to apologize to Alain Delon after this awkward exchange. Camille Combal preferred to joke about the situation, associating private calls with Nicolas Canteloup’s impersonations.
An anecdote that continues to amuse
This story, shared in 2018 on ‘Thé ou Café’ on France 2, was also humorously addressed by Catherine Ceylac at the time. Despite the years, this anecdote still entertains the public and deeply affects the singer. This tale conveys a mix of admiration, clumsiness, and misunderstanding. By recounting this memory on the radio, Nolwenn Leroy showed she still held a kind of fondness for that embarrassing moment. The exchange remains even more memorable since Alain Delon’s passing in August 2024, which deeply moved many French people.
Today, this anecdote resurfaces regularly in the singer’s interviews, illustrating the particular relationship Alain Delon had with certain artistic personalities. Known for his charisma and spontaneity, the actor did not hesitate to call artists he admired directly. Nolwenn Leroy, on the other hand, continues her career in music and television. Starting on May 18th, viewers can see her in the series ‘L’été 36’ on TF1. Additionally, the artist also hopes to make a musical comeback by 2027. Despite several years passing since the incident, this famous phone call remains one of her most astonishing memories. A remarkable scene that she now recounts with a lot of hindsight and self-deprecation.
