Christian Slater’s Father In Suicide Horror

Christian Slater has been accused by his father of pushing the old man to the brink of suicide!

After the star called him a “manic-depressive schizophrenic” and cut him off financially, his father tried to sue him for $20 million! “I was destitute!” said former soap star Michael Hawkins, shown here outside a theater in 2004 where Christian was performing in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

“I couldn’t afford to fix my car, and I was so devastated I wanted to commit suicide," Hawkins, shown here outside an L.A. soup kitchen in 2015, told a source for The National ENQUIRER. "I told my social worker, and she called police,"  They took me to a mental ward. I spent ten days there. I was so depressed about losing that car.”

Michael appeared in “Ryan’s Hope” in the ’70s, and now he wants $3 million from his successful son. Christian, one-time hellion who hung with Robert Downey Jr. in his wild days, is currently riding high on his award-winning “Mr. Robot” work.

“I’m responsible for him being a success! I taught him how to act!” insisted Michael, shown here circa 1973 with then-wife Mary Jo Slater and toddler Christian. “He knows how much he owes me, but he just won’t admit it.”
