In 1973 McQueen flew to England to meet Oliver Reed and discuss a possible film collaboration. Reed showed me his country mansion and we got on well, recalled McQueen. He then suggested he take me to his favorite London nightclub. The drinking, which started at Reed's home, Broome Hall, continued into the night until Reed could hardly stand. Suddenly, and with no apparent warning, he vomited over McQueen's shirt and trousers. The staff rushed around and found me some new clothes, but they couldn't get me any shoes, said McQueen. I had to spend the rest of the night smelling of Oliver Reed's sick.
