Sir David Jason Discovers Long-Lost Daughter

Sir David Jason, the 84-year-old actor known for 'Only Fools And Horses', experienced a whirlwind of emotions upon discovering he has a daughter, Abi Harris, whom he never knew existed for 52 years. In his memoir 'This Time Next Year', Jason describes receiving a poignant letter from Abi, who suspected he might be her biological father due to a brief relationship he had with her mother, actress Jennifer Hill. The letter prompted Jason to feel everything from wonder and amazement to fear and outright panic, as he grappled with the implications of this newfound family connection. Abi, who sought to verify her parentage, requested an anonymous paternity test, emphasizing that she did not want financial support. Jason’s initial shock eventually turned to positivity, as he revealed the news to his wife and daughter, who were supportive of the situation. He expressed sadness over the lost years but also a sense of joy from this unexpected revelation.
