Aug 4 (IBNS) Ryan O’Neal was stunned by the beauty of his daughter Tatum at Farrah Fawcett’s funeral.

In a startling interview, Ryan revealed that he couldn’t identify his daughter just moments after the hearse carrying his longtime love left the service.

“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. I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, ‘Daddy, it’s me, Tatum!’” Ryan was quoted as saying by NBC Chicago.

“I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter. It’s so sick,” he said.

Ryan, father of four, had pledged to marry Fawcett on her death bed just weeks before she died of anal cancer in June.

O’Neal fathered Tatum, 45, and Griffin, 44, with first wife Joanna Moore. He sired son Patrick, 42, with actress Leigh Taylor-Young and Redmond, 24, with Fawcett.

Redmond, the only child with whom O’Neal has contact, is in jail for violating probation on drug charges.

But Tatum said the uncomfortable encounter with her father at Fawcett’s funeral was just more of the same from her estranged father.

“That’s our relationship in a nutshell. … You make of it what you will. “It had been a few years since we’d seen each other. And he was always a ladies’ man, a bon vivant,” she said.
