Hollywood, California – Christian Slater After fifty years of business, he won his star on a celebrity journey in Hollywood.
The 55-year-old “Heathers” star reflects on his acceptance of his celebrity journey over the years in the entertainment industry and tells Fox News that the digital reputation is “always weird.”
“It’s tricky. There are cameras everywhere, and under a microscope, you actually have a lot more challenges than before, so there are quite a few challenges to deal with,” he explained. “Famousness is always weird. It’s always a weird thing and it feels like a good level now. I mean, it’s humble. It gives me the chance to be excited and walk throughout myself, so I think it’s great.”
While reputation may be a strange path, Slater said he felt “lucky, I was able to do what I really like to do” and hoped that his love for his career would create a “snowball effect” that allowed him to continue to “work with more and more people and become more and more fun.”
