Two of the Best Actors in One Scene? That’s Exactly What The Swimming Pool Director Brought to Life.
Despite their painful breakup, Romy Schneider and Alain Delon agreed to work together. It was a serious test of endurance for both Schneider and Delon.
The film instantly became a hit, which is a bit surprising. After filming, fans hoped for good news from the star couple, but there was no talk of rekindling their relationship. Especially since, by that time, Romy Schneider was married.
Alain Delon specifically denied any possibility of a romance with his former lover to avoid causing jealousy in the actress’s husband. However, all their colleagues noticed the undeniable chemistry between them. They couldn’t hide the joy they felt just being able to work together.
Behind-the-scenes photos made it clear. There were no doubts left — love was in the air. Their strong feelings were so evident that they didn’t even have to act, which is why they nailed their roles perfectly.
However, the romance between the actors ended right after filming. Romy Schneider made it clear that her heart had been broken once again.
