backstage

JANUARY 21, 1990
Hollywood, California

-----

On the Arsenio Hall show, backstage Christian was gonna come on and get interviewed, at the moment, he was still in his dressing room waiting for the show to start.

"Could you put this in my carry-on please?" He asks Winona, holding out his plane ticket as he was getting his hair fixed up. Right after the show, he would need to get on a flight to England to shoot the Robin hood movie.

"Where's your carry-on?" Winona asks back, turning her head to him.

"Beside the door"

He hands her the plane ticket and she puts it in the front pocket.

"It's in the front pocket" She informs him.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome" Winona smiles sweetly.

10 minutes later, Christian was backstage with Winona as he waited for his cue.

"My first guest is one of Hollywood's hottest young actors you've seen him in movies like Heathers, Young guns two, and Pump up the volume. Please Welcome, Christian Slater" Arsenio introduces him, then everybody in the audience starts screaming and cheering.

The screams and squeals took him by surprise, then he walked out into the spotlight. He faces Arsenio and greets him.

Everyone was still cheering and Christian shouts the right amount for just Arsenio to hear "I was about to walk out here and I heard all this, nearly gave me a heart attack" He chuckles.

"Yea me too!" Arsenio laughs. "Nice to see you!"

"You too man" Christian replies then they hug and pull back, turning to the audience and Christian waves at the audience consisting most of teenage girls and young women.

"I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!" A girl screams as the cheers and the music dies down.

"Oh" Arsenio raises a brow.

"Love you too" Christian mumbles jokingly, sitting down on the couch.

"That woman loves you" He points out into the audience, taking a seat in his usual armchair as everybody chuckles.

"Gary Indiana again, brutal" Christian comments, referring to the music that played while he walked out.

Arsenio chuckles "Did you tell them to play that?"

"Uh, no what? 'course not. I had nothing to do with that. No no" Christian laughs.

"You love Indiana though"

"Uh yeah, well that song, Gary Indiana"

"I know you sang it when you were.."

"When I was nine, yea. Yea that was my first tune"

Like usual, Arsenio talks with Christian, asking him a few questions.

"You know how women love men who can sing, you know" Arsenio turns to the audience.

"Yeah yeah." Screams and squeals erupts from the audience again.

"Yeah, heard the screaming heard the screaming. Yes yes that's really wonderful." Christian grins.

"You know what you should do? You should get some champagne, candles and everything. And one day sing to your woman" Arsenio suggests.

"I should. I should do a little serenading thing or something. I should get a lute, you know a play a little, strum some notes and stuff. That would be nice." He nods along.

"Yeah, I know you got a lady in your life now"

"Yeah, yeah I have a girlfriend. She's uh she's pretty terrific. Very very nice girl." Christian couldn't control the smile growing on his face.

"Tell them a little bit about her, so they know what you like in a woman" Arsenio grins cheekily as they all laugh.

"What I like in a woman.." Christian starts " Well, let's see she's uh how do I- How do I describe Winona? you know she's probably back there laughing her heinie off"

Arsenio chuckles and Christian continues. "She's uh very, well she's beautiful, she acts too, We met on the set of Heathers, and I just fell in love with her."

"Oh so wait how long have you been like dating?"

"Well! We started seeing each other right after the movie wrapped up a year before Heathers was released."

"Wow you've just announced it to public a year ago?" 

"Yeah, we didn't really want to be too public about it because, y'know a lot of hollywood relationships end because of all that."

Arsenio talks to Christian about his upcoming movies and other stuff he's been working on until the interview finishes.
