Hollywood actress Alicia Silverstone has shared a heartfelt message to Liverpool after spending time in the city for Comic Con Liverpool. The biannual event returned to Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre from Saturday, May 2 to Sunday, May 3 as a number of stars met fans.
Alicia, who played the role of Cher Horowitz in the 1996 classic Clueless, met with fans on both Saturday and Sunday at the exhibition centre which took place at M&S Bank Arena. During her stay in Liverpool, the 49-year-old actress was able to enjoy a taste of Liverpool life – including a visit to after-hours LGBT+ bar Heaven, before a stroll around Sefton Park.
Also famed for starring in movies such as The Crush, Batman & Robin and Excess Baggage, Alicia is among the most famous faces in the film industry. This didn’t stop her from exploring the city as much as she could before leaving.
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!”
Other comments said: “It’s great to see you out and about enjoying your time in Liverpool and I hope you can visit again in the future” and “An incredible array of Liverpool haunts! You really are the perpetual cool girl so of course you loved our city.”
Further replies were: “I bet you were a hit with the Scousers” and “Such a fan! Can’t believe you came to my Liverpool home, glad you enjoyed.”
