Farrah Fawcett to Marry Ryan O’Neal
Posted by Adam
Farrah Fawcett is set to tie the knot — she’s marrying longtime love Ryan O’Neal.
“I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed,” O’Neal, 68, tells Barbara Walters in an exclusive interview on ABC’s 20/20, airing Friday, June 26.
O’Neal says the 62-year-old Charlie’s Angels star — who was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 — is now “fighting for her life.”
But he says they “will” walk down the aisle “as soon as she can, say yes. … Maybe we can just nod her head,” he said.
“I used to ask her to marry me all the time,” O’Neal tells Walters. “But … it just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it.”
The actor says he and Fawcett — who have a 24-year-old son Redmond (who is now in rehab following previous drug convictions) — have even joked about what he’ll wear for the ceremony, kidding that he’ll dress “like a gigolo. You know? And a little thin mustache and slicked-back hair. I don’t know. We have fun, we tease about that.”
Fawcett and O’Neal began dating in 1980.
