EXCLUSIVE Dear David Jason, might you be my biological father? As a young actor, the Only Fools And Horses legend had a fling with a co-star. Here, he reveals how an astonishing letter changed his life By David Jason For The Daily Mail Published: 20:53 EDT, 4 October 2024 | Updated: 20:55 EDT, 4 October 2024 e-mail View comments There's a photograph somewhere of the cast of a 1970s production of Under Milk Wood, at the Mermaid Theatre in London . I'm there, with my thumbs in my belt loops and wearing a cravat.
Yes, a cravat. Trust me, it's what the wry, sophisticated man-about-town was wearing in those days. Also in the cast was Ruth Madoc , later famed for playing Gladys Pugh in Hi-De-Hi!, and Windsor Davies, the actor known for his role as the bawling sergeant major in It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
Add me to the pile and the audiences who attended that production were watching three future stars of three big British comedy series together in one place, all speaking in Welsh accents. David Jason says a friend of Abi had mentioned to her, almost as a joke, that she and David had very similar-shaped noses David with his wife Gill and his other daughter, Sophie, on the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall in 2020 Another member of the cast was an actress called Jennifer Hill. During that run the cravat clearly worked its magic on Jennifer.
Nature duly took its course and we ended up having a short fling. I should say that, when it came to relationships in those days, short flings were .
