Christian Slater's daughters make a rare appearance as they join him at Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony
Christian Slater's daughters made a rare appearance as they joined him in Hollywood to support him at his Walk of Fame ceremony.
The 55-year-old actor was honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard and had his wife Brittany Lopez as well as his daughters by his side for the special occasion.
He was also joined by Sarah Michelle Gellar, his co-star in the Dexter: Original Sin spinoff, as well as his Mr. Robot castmate Carly Chaikin for the event.
The Blink Twice star shares two children, daughter Lena and a baby boy who will celebrate his first birthday in July, with his wife, 35.
He also shares two adult children, son Jaden, 25, and daughter Eliana, 23, with his ex-wife Ryan Haddon.
His daughters Eliana and Lena were at his side when his star was unveiled and posed for sweet family photos together.
While celebrating the major milestone, he gushed about his family in his acceptance speech.
'I have amazing and wonderful children. I can't imagine my life without them. They are the greatest,' he said.
He gushed about his wife and having his kids' support.
'Having a star on Hollywood Boulevard is great, but none of this would have been possible without my family and the love I have today.'
He previously spoke about the full circle moment since he used to skate on Hollywood Boulevard as a teenager.
When he was age 16, he trained with professional skateboarder Stacy Peralta for the 1989 Gleaming the Cube.
It was the beginning of his career when Peralta shared advice he still remembers today.
'He told me the smoothest area to learn to skateboard is the Walk of Fame,' he said.
'There's not a lot of cracks or breaks between the cement because they're always pouring it in for ceremonies. It's one nice, even, flowy ride.'
When Variety suggested he could make his grand arrival at the ceremony on a skateboard, he quipped: 'I'm out of practice, but maybe I could try and gleam my way into the ceremony.'
Back in August 2024, he spoke to People about experiencing fatherhood again at this stage in his life.
Just before he welcomed his youngest child last year, he reflected on raising young children in his 50s.
'The whole thing is different. I'm certainly a lot more present and I just love it,' he said.
'I think I was more scared of it the first go around and a little bit more confused, and I was very distracted,' he continued.
'And now, it's all I really think about, and all I really care about, and all I want to be around. I'm happy to be in that situation.'
Slater rose to fame in cult classic films like Heathers and Pump Up the Volume.
He also starred in box office hits such as Interview With the Vampire and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves that made him a silver screen star.
In his early career, he was a teen heartthrob and he went on to become a leading man after starring in True Romance and Untamed Heart.
