In a recent interview to promote his film, Nymphomaniac, Slater alleged that his father suffers from manic-depressive schizophrenia. "He's always had trouble," said the Heathers star, 46.

Now co-starring in USA Network's cult hit Mr. Robot, Slater said he didn't speak to his father for nine years because he was "in the middle of the relationship" between his parents "and needed to get out of that."

The two reconnected in 2004 when Slater starred onstage in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, divulged Hawkins.

"I was there on opening night," Michael told RadarOnline.com. "We embraced and he introduced me to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Ryan Haddon. He came the next day and thanked me. We had a wonderful conversation. At that time, he was still helping me financially."

Despite that meeting, they are no longer on good grounds. "It was the last we ever spoke face to face," Hawkins told RadarOnline.com. "He has teenage children —my grandchildren —who I have never met. It's very sad."
