No ‘wild things’ grow on Reed’s grave as fans drown it in booze, says son

The son of Oliver Reed has revealed that nothing will grow on his famous father’s grave in Cork because so many people pour a tipple on it to toast the larger-than-life acting legend.

Mark Reed also disclosed that his dad fell in love with Ireland because it was one of the few places where he wasn’t judged.

Reed’s eldest child, who still regularly returns to Churchtown where the Gladiator star spent his final years, confirmed to Anton Savage yesterday on The Ray D’Arcy Show that plants won’t grow on the plot because so many fans pour a drink from the nearby pub on it.
