Saved by the Bell’ star: I would have become a father at 15, but my baby was aborted

A moving interview.

Former teen heartthrob Mario Lopez, who skyrocketed to fame in the late '80s and 1990s playing A.C. Slater in Saved by the Bell, has revealed he is a post-abortive father. In his newly published memoirs Just Between Us, Lopez comes clean about his hypersexual behavior, which began in childhood and cost him a child and a marriage. Sex became his “drug of choice” early in his life, he wrote.
