In an interview with Vanity Fair, published by the New York Post, Ryan O'Neal said that he is so disconnected from his children that he hit on his daughter, Tatum O'Neal, at Farrah Fawcett's funeral, and didn't even know it was 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," O'Neal, 68, said. “I said to her, 'You have a drink on you? You have a car?' She said, 'Daddy, it's me -- Tatum!'"
"That's our relationship in a nutshell," Tatum told the magazine when asked about the bizarre exchange. "You make of it what you will.”
"I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter -- it's so sick," he added.
When asked if he was sorry he'd had children, O'Neal nodded and said, "A couple of them I would take back."
"I don't think I was supposed to be a father," said the actor, who had Tatum, 45, and Griffin, 44, with first wife Joanna Moore; son Patrick, 42, with actress Leigh Taylor-Young; and son Redmond, 24, with Fawcett.
"Just look around at my work -- they're either in jail or they should be," O'Neal said.
He said Redmond, who is in jail for violating probation on drug charges, is the only child he still sees.
How about the fact that he was hitting on someone at his wife's funeral??
Read the entire interview in the September issue of Vanity Fair which hits newsstands this week.
