Hollywood actor Christian Slater says he’s put his demons behind him and finally found happiness. The 'Slipstream' actor, 38, whose marriage to TV producer Ryan Haddon ended in divorce a year ago, has been dating the millionaire Jimmy Choo fashion boss Tamara Mellon since September 2007.
In an interview with Britain's Closer magazine, he said of Mellon: “She’s a phenomenal woman and I’ve never been happier. She’s fantastic, really fabulous.”
He added: “Without a doubt I feel I’ve met somebody who’s very special, so hopefully things will keep moving on in the direction they’re going.”
Slater - who has a well publicized record of alcohol and drug abuse, but has been sober for two years, came to London last summer to star in the West End play Swimming with Sharks, a trip which resulted in him meeting Tamara, 40. “I really wasn’t expecting to meet anyone”, he said, “I’m just grateful I came here to be in this play.”
The actor has embraced life in the capital and even makes his way around in a Mini. He added: “I love London. It feels like home.”
The couple will have to deal with the pressures of a long-distance relationship when Christian’s play comes to the end of its run later this month and he returns home to Los Angeles, “We’ll take it one day at a time and do our best to support each other as we travel along this road together,” he says.
