Christian Slater has spoken out about his drinking problem which started after he hit his partner (at the time) Michelle Jonas.
The Holly Wood star, who will remember from such movies like Broken Arrow & Churchill: The Hollywood Years hurt his one-time partner back in 1997. He opened a bottle of champagne following the incident and as a result didn’t stop drinking for another two years.
Slater said: “For a certain period of time I met a girl, got involved with her, and it was pretty much brought into that relationship all the tools that I had at that particular time, which was jealousy, insecurity, neurosis, fear, paranoia - not the best tools to enter into a relationship.
“I found myself at home one night with a bottle of champagne, popped the cork, poured the glass, said ‘God keep an eye on me’, downed the drink and went on this phenomenal two-year run where I pretty much drank my way around the world,” he said.
