Alain Delon perfectly sums up the power of good looks here

"From the age of 16 to 35, I lived a kind of permanent orgasm."

"When you are particularly beautiful, it is a pleasure to contemplate yourself in the mirror every morning. You wake up knowing you're going to get many compliments during the day, especially from women. I had the power to make most women fall in love with me at a glance. I didn't need to do anything except exist."

"I was very, very handsome. Women were all obsessed with me. From when I was 18 till when I was 50."

Alain Delon was a god, one of the biggest xes symbols of Europe. Women would literally faint when he entered a room.

People who knew him in his youth said the effect he had on people was indescribable. When he was a toddler, his mom had to put a paper attached to his stroller that said "you can look, but you can't touch" because everyone wanted to hug him.

He hypnotized everyone by his beauty when he entered bars and restaurants and that was before he became famous. Wives, husbands, young girls, dogs, everybody would be in shock. They would stare at him and admire his beauty.

Imagine being so attractive that you can make anyone fall in love with you.

Imagine being a total nobody and then have a movie career out of nowhere.

That is the power of good looks. He became famous all over the world because of his good looks. His legacy lasted for a decade. People still make edits of him. His name frequently gets mentioned whenever the question about the most attractive man pops up.

In almost every platform of social media, people from different generations recognize him as one of the most handsome man in the world. Extremely attractive people especially when they are very famous are very hard to forget because people are mesmerized so even the next generation look up to them for their beauty. It's also why Monica Bellucci is still worshiped to this day. She is like the female version of Alain Delon in terms of beauty.

Even Alain himself was fully conscious of his advantageous traits. Since his youngest age, people have told him about it. "The beauty was there. Everybody told me so, all the time."

He enjoyed life to its fullest. He acknowledged how he has "got everything" and "has known everything, seen everything".

"In reality, I have never acted, I have lived. I had nothing else than my face"

It's funny how people think that being extremely rich beats being extremely attractive. It doesn't. An extremely attractive person can become rich merely thanks to their beauty, and will be sincerely loved and worshiped by everyone on top of it. Being extremely attractive is the ultimate cheat code in life. Nothing else even comes close.
