O’NEAL FEARS LOVE SPLIT CAUSED FAWCETT’S CANCER
RYAN O’NEAL fears he was to blame for his late partner FARRAH FAWCETT’s cancer battle, because he’s convinced the years of pain he put her through contributed to her developing the disease.
The actor dated the Charlie’s Angels star on and off for two decades before they split in 1998. They subsequently reconnected in 2001 after O’Neal was diagnosed with leukaemia, and he remained by Fawcett’s side throughout her struggle with anal cancer up until her death in June (09).
O’Neal opens up about his long relationship with the actress in a new Vanity Fair interview, in which he confesses to leaving Fawcett in 1998 for a younger woman - because the actress was going through the menopause.
But O’Neal regrets causing Fawcett so much pain and wishes he could turn back time to "do it over".
He tells the magazine, "I would have been much kinder, more understanding, more mature. I’d lose some of the savagery. I don’t know how she got cancer; maybe some of it was me."
