Christian Aaron Boulogne Obituary

Christian Aaron Boulogne was a French photographer, actor and writer. He was known by the nickname, Ari Boulogne.

His biological father was French actor, Alain Delon although Delon has consistently denied paternity to him. He was initially raised by his mother before he was adopted by Delon’s mother Edith and her second husband Paul Boulogne whose surname he legally took.

Boulogne also made an appearance in Paul Morrissey’s Mixed Blood. After acting, Boulogne took on a career as a photographer.

Boulogne died on May 20, 2023, at the age of 60. He was found dead in his Paris apartment. A woman, supposedly his partner, was taken into custody for the failure of duty to rescue.
