Patrick isn’t the only star of the screen who has been embracing things lately. Hollywood actress Alicia Silverstone has shared a heartfelt message to Liverpool after spending time in the city for Comic Con Liverpool.
During her stay in Liverpool, the 49-year-old Clueless star was able to enjoy a taste of Liverpool life – including a visit to after-hours LGBT+ bar Heaven, before a stroll around Sefton Park.
On Instagram Alicia shared a series of pictures from posing in front of the famous waterfront Beatles statue to shopping on Lark Lane. She said: “I love Liverpool. What a treat to catch up with my dear pal Oliver James Broughton in this super cool city last week. Maray at the docks was so yum… such a vibe. The team was effortlessly arty and comfy in their skin.
“Then The Glue… the moustache men behind it all were very cool. Quick natural wine and bites at Nord, then Heaven… supposedly a gay bar, but I’m pretty sure we were the gayest ones there.”
Sharing her plans from the following day, Alicia added: “My first traditional roast, veggie of course, at Belzan. Carrots, parsnips, potatoes… all so good. I don’t even usually like parsnips!
“Wandered Lark Lane, Sefton Park, past the cathedral and down Bold Street… then back to Ireland for #IrishBlood Season 2. It’s the Liverpudlians… grounded, stylish, quietly cool and kind.”
Fans couldn’t believe how much Alicia had embraced Liverpool on her short trip. One comment said: “Sorry, you mean to tell me our girl, our queen, Cher was just two miles down the road at the Royal Albert Dock, casual class of wine and a stroll to the Pier Head, and we missed you!”
