Brigitte Bardot laments her loneliness: "I have no one left, everyone is gone."

BarcelonaShe was one of the greatest stars of French cinema, but that was more than 50 years ago. Brigitte Bardot, 90, gave an interview this weekend on the BFM television channel in which she reflected on the final stages of her life and the loneliness that accompanies her. "I have no one left, everyone is gone," revealed Bardot, who couldn't help but share her grief over the disappearance of many of her friends. One of the last to die was Alain Delon, with whom she had a very close bond.

"You never get over the death of a friend. I'm very, very sad. I miss him so much. We shared the same way of thinking," says Bardot, who will turn 91 in September and who suffered a severe respiratory crisis in 2023. In the interview, the star of And God created woman She points out that her relationship with Delon was always a friendship and never romantic, as was long rumored. "We only made two bad movies together. So, cinematically, it wasn't a big deal. In terms of friendship, however, it was," she emphasizes. The couple acted alongside Famous loves (1961) and Extraordinary stories (1968).

Like Delon, Bardot is a great animal rights activist and devoted to her dogs. In fact, since leaving the cinema, she has dedicated herself to fighting for the animal rights cause; a mission that has sometimes led her to make controversial statements, like when he called Reunion Island "demonic" and its inhabitants "savages".

The former French sex symbol says she's not afraid of death. "Life today makes death seem extraordinary to me," she confesses. In the interview, Bardot, who has lived in seclusion in a mansion in Saint Tropez since 1958, once again displays her explosive character. "I'm very lucky because I have a fiery disposition! It's hard to bring me down," says Bardot, who asserts that she won't be happy until France abolishes hunting with dogs.
