American actor Ryan O’Neal is said to be so estranged from his own kids that he did not recognize his own daughter Tatum at late Farrah Fawcett’s funeral.
O’Neal, 68, who wishes he never had any children, revealed that he mistook his daughter for someone else and shamelessly flirted with her. “I had just put the casket in the hearse and was watching it drive away, when a beautiful blond woman comes up and embraces me,” the
New York Post
quoted him as saying. “I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, ‘Daddy, it’s me -- Tatum!’ “I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter.
“It’s so sick,” he added. The actor recounted the bizarre encounter in the September issue of
Vanity Fair
magazine, which hits stands this week.
