Dad Bernie, 91, puts his boy in the driving seat

WHEN you’re a father at 91, you don’t have any time to waste.

And Formula 1 tycoon Bernie Ecclestone has been getting his son, Ace, behind the wheel of a racing car, even though the boy is only one.

‘Ace’s first racing car experience,’ says his mother, Fabiana, 44, who is the billionaire’s third wife. The tot is pictured with ear protectors at Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo, in his mother’s native Brazil. She was elected last year as a vice-president of the FIA. That led to the motor sport organisation’s new president, Mohammed ben Sulayem, insisting that Bernie was not involved behind the scenes.

Liam NeesoN admits that reports he had fallen for a mystery woman while filming in australia were the result of a joke he tried to make based on the title of one his movies: Taken. ‘it was b ****** s,’ confesses Neeson, who turns 70 next month. ‘i said, “i fell in love, but she was taken.” That’s a joke.’ The star says he’s still grieving his actress wife, Natasha Richardson, who died in a skiing accident in 2009 at the age of 45.
