Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett first got together in 1979, split up in 1988 and then reunited in 2001

Ryan O'Neal was left red-faced at Farrah Fawcett’s funeral – when he mistakenly tried to flirt with his own daughter.

The actor, 68, didn't recognise Tatum - with whom he has a rocky relationship - when she approached him at the LA service for the Charlie’s Angels star.  

‘I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me,’ says Ryan.

‘I said to her, “You have a drink on you? You have a car?”

‘She replied, “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.’

But Tatum, 45 – who is Ryan’s daughter with actress Joanna Cook Moore - wasn’t offended.

‘That's our relationship in a nutshell,’ she tells Vanity Fair. ‘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.’
