Carlos Irwin Estévez (born September 3, 1965), known professionally as Charlie Sheen, is an American actor. He is known as a leading man in film and television. Sheen has received numerous accolades including a Golden Globe Award as well as nominations for four Primetime Emmy Awards and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. In 1994, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Key Information

Charlie Sheen followed in the footsteps of his father Martin Sheen in becoming an actor. He starred in many successful films such as Red Dawn (1984), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Eight Men Out (1988), Young Guns (1988), Major League (1989), Hot Shots! (1991), The Three Musketeers (1993), and The Arrival (1996). In the 2000s, when Sheen replaced Michael J. Fox as the star of ABC's Spin City, his portrayal of Charlie Crawford earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. He then starred as Charlie Harper on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men (2003–11), for which he received many Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy nominations. In 2010, Sheen was the highest-paid actor on television, earning US$1.8 million per episode of Two and a Half Men.[2]

In March 2011, Sheen was terminated from his Two and a Half Men contract by CBS and Warner Bros. following public substance-abuse problems, marital difficulties and comments made towards the series' creator, Chuck Lorre.[3][4] In 2015, Sheen publicly revealed that he was HIV positive, which led to an increase in HIV prevention and testing that was dubbed the "Charlie Sheen effect".[5][6] Post-Two and a Half Men, he starred in the films Machete Kills (2013) and 9/11 (2017), and had a recurring role on Lorre's Max series Bookie (2023–2024).

Early life

[edit]

Carlos Irwin Estévez was born on September 3, 1965, in New York City,[7][8] the youngest son of actor Martin Sheen (whose real name is Ramón Estévez) and artist Janet Templeton.[9] His paternal grandparents were emigrants from Galicia (Spain) and Ireland, respectively.[10] Sheen said in 2011 that his father was Catholic and his mother was Southern Baptist.[11] He has two older brothers, Emilio and Ramon, and a younger sister, Renée, all actors.[12] His parents moved to Malibu, California, after Martin's Broadway run in The Subject Was Roses. Sheen's first movie appearance was at age nine in his father's 1974 film The Execution of Private Slovik.[13] Sheen attended Santa Monica High School in Santa Monica, California, along with Robert Downey Jr., where he was a star pitcher and shortstop for the baseball team.[9][14]

At Santa Monica High School, he showed an early interest in acting, making amateur Super 8 films with his brother Emilio and school friends Rob Lowe and Sean Penn under his birth name.[15] A few weeks before his scheduled graduation from Santa Monica High School, Sheen was expelled from school for poor grades and attendance.[15] He then chose to become an actor, and adopted the stage name Charlie Sheen.[15] His father had adopted the surname Sheen in honor of the Catholic archbishop and theologian Fulton J. Sheen, and Charlie was an English form of his given name Carlos.[15][16]

Career

[edit]

1983–1999: Breakthrough and stardom

[edit]

Sheen's film career began in 1983, when he was cast to portray Ron in Grizzly II: The Predator, the sequel to the 1976 low-budget horror movie Grizzly, which remained unreleased until 2020.[17] In 1984, he had a role in the John Milius-directed Cold War teen drama Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, and Jennifer Grey. His next theatrical release was The Boys Next Door (1985), directed by Penelope Spheeris.[18] While largely ignored by the public, the film was critically acclaimed. The Los Angeles Times review praised Sheen, by saying he is "marvelous as a kid scared of his own desires--eyes wide open, paralyzed with fear, he looks like a deer caught in the glare of a hunter's headlights".[19] The New York Times review has also praised Sheen's "exceptionally well-acted" performance and compared the film to Badlands (1973), a film starring Charlie's father Martin Sheen for its "lean and unsentimental" atmosphere.[20]

In his early roles, critics favorably compared Charlie Sheen to his father, Martin Sheen, highlighting parallels between Charlie's performances in The Boys Next Door (1985) and Platoon (1986) and Martin's acclaimed roles in Badlands (1973) and Apocalypse Now (1979).

In 1986, Sheen has started to get more attention. He reunited with Jennifer Grey in a small scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where he played a juvenile delinquent Grey meets in a police station.[21] Sheen stayed late up until late hours to have a more authentic look.[21] New York Daily News wrote "[Sheen] makes a great impact in this one brief scene than anyone else in the movie."[22] Film critic Gene Siskel praised the chemistry between him and Grey.[23]

Sheen had a supporting role in the coming-of-age drama Lucas (1986), which got a mostly positive reception. Roger Ebert of Chicago Sun-Times said Sheen has the most difficult role to play in Lucas and his performance avoids the clichés usually associated with teen jock characters.[24] Los Angeles Times review has also praised Sheen, writing that he "exudes naturalness, manages to be handsome without being self-conscious" and surprisingly "emerges as the film’s most consistently sympathetic figure."[25] He didn't get much attention for the science fiction film The Wraith (1986), despite playing the titular role because critics thought he was underused. In a review for The Washington Post, critic Paul Attanasio mentioned that "there is all too little of the quietly charismatic Sheen."[26]

Sheen's big breakthrough role came in the Vietnam War drama Platoon. The film was a major commercial and critical success and won four Oscars, including the Academy Award for Best Picture. Sheen and the rest of the cast underwent an immersive military‑style boot camp lasting about 30 days, with strict control over food and water, minimal sleep, and blank‑fire exercises to simulate combat stress.[18] Vincent Canby of The New York Times applauded Sheen's performance, saying the character was "beautifully played."[27] The Arizona Republic described the performance as "terrific" and Newsday as "marvellous."[28][29] Variety review noted the similarities he has with his father Martin, making a comparison to his father's Apocalypse Now performance.[30] Both Platoon and Ferris Bueller were among the ten highest-grossing films of the year in the United States.[31]

His first post-Platoon role was in the road film Three for the Road (1987), which didn't get much attention and Sheen reportedly called it "the nadir" of his career.[32] Despite negative reviews, the critics described Sheen's performance among the highlights and stronger points of the film.[33][34][35] He got bigger attention in the same year by starring opposite Michael Douglas and his father in Wall Street in which he played the role of Bud Fox, a young and ambitious stockbroker. The Washington Post review raved about his performance, "the younger Sheen, who walked wide-eyed through Stone's Vietnam, walks with similar innocence through [the film] and with his three-piece determination he's perfect as a greenhorn yuppie playing with the big guns."[36] The Hollywood Reporter review found him "commendably convincing".[37] Roger Ebert was more critical, citing Sheen's performance as the film's only flaw as he "never seems quite relentless enough to move in Gekko's circle".[38] However, in the same year, Ebert praised Sheen's performance in the crime drama No Man's Land as "very good" and "charismatic".[39] Both Wall Street and Platoon were directed by Oliver Stone.

In 1988, Sheen portrayed Happy Felsch (left), a member of the Chicago White Sox involved in the 1919 Black Sox scandal, in Eight Men Out, and Richard M. Brewer (right), a cowboy and leader of Lincoln County Regulators, in Young Guns.

In 1988, Sheen was the part of two ensemble casts, where he played real-life figures. He starred in John Sayles-directed baseball drama film Eight Men Out (1988) as Happy Felsch and opposite his brother Emilio in the western film Young Guns as Richard M. Brewer. In 1989, Sheen, John Fusco, Christopher Cain, Lou Diamond Phillips, Emilio Estévez and Kiefer Sutherland were honored with a Bronze Wrangler for their work on the Young Guns.[40] An avid baseball player since his youth, Sheen has stated that he took the role in the critically acclaimed Eight Men Out not for the money or career but only because of his love for baseball.[41]

He passed on Bull Durham to do another baseball comedy film Major League (1989), a critical and commercial success.[42][43] Sheen's performance as Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, which he also reprised in the 1994 sequel, is often considered to be among his most-known characters. Common Sense Media praised his comedic ability in the first film, by writing "Sheen shines as the rockin' closer with a lot of attitude."[44] Empire magazine review also highlighted Sheen for being "a delightful surprise at light comedy."[45]

In 1990, he starred alongside his father and brother, in the films directed by them respectively in the drama film Cadence as a rebellious inmate in a military stockade and in the black comedy film Men at Work as a garbageman who finds himself in trouble. In the same year, he had a cameo role in Dennis Hopper's thriller film Catchfire and a starring role with Clint Eastwood in the buddy cop film The Rookie, directed by Eastwood himself.[9] The Rookie and Sheen's performance got mostly negative reviews. Roger Ebert has criticized Sheen for his "low energy and absent-minded performance".[46] Owen Gleiberman from Entertainment Weekly observed: "when Sheen slips over the edge and trashes a bar full of hooligan bikers, his performance suddenly comes to life; he should go psycho more often."[47] He also took on the lead role in another action film Navy SEALs (1990), which got a mostly negative reception. Los Angeles Times review notes that Sheen's portrayal lacks psychological depth, describing his character as a "new-style psychopath" who casually terminates possibly innocent civilians without remorse. Despite this, Sheen's energetic performance adds a layer of gusto to the role.[48] In a retrospective review in 2001, IGN wrote that the role "is one of many which would forever change his reputation from a dedicated actor (see Platoon or Wall Street) to the fun-loving hell raiser image that first springs into our minds today."[49]

Sheen starred in the parody film Hot Shots! (1991) and its sequel, Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993), both huge commercial successes. Film critic Janet Maslin praised Sheen, saying "[he] brings just the right exaggerated seriousness to his ace pilot's role" and Kenneth Turan also praised his comic timing.[50][51] In an interview with Bobbie Wygant, Sheen stated that for Part Deux, he underwent an intense physical regimen that included a strict diet, yoga, swimming, stationary biking, and general martial arts training. He described the program as an "insane" eight-hour-a-day, six-days-a-week routine that also involved a personal trainer for the first five weeks.[52] Both films were among the highest-grossing films of their respective years. In 1993, he featured in the real-life inspired crime drama Beyond the Law with Linda Fiorentino and Michael Madsen, where he played a disgraced former cop who goes undercover to infiltrate a violent biker gang involved in drug trafficking.

Sheen's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Sheen turned down the roles in the sports comedy White Men Can't Jump (1992) and the drama Indecent Proposal (1993), both roles went to Woody Harrelson.[53] Instead, he began taking more action-oriented roles by the mid-90s, to mixed reception.[54] He starred as Aramis in the new Disney version of The Three Musketeers (1993). Entertainment Weekly review described him as "reliably dry."[55] The film was a commercial success but his follow-up action roles in The Chase (1994) and Terminal Velocity (1994) were box office flops. Regarding his performance in The Chase, Roger Ebert has praised his "ability to play an almost impossible role in a fairly straight style".[56] Film critic James Berardinelli has also noted his "surprisingly effective chemistry" with co-star Kristy Swanson.[57]

For Terminal Velocity, Sheen received the highest salary of his movie career, earning $6 million.[58] The film got mostly negative reviews, and Sheen's performance gained him mixed comments. Entertainment Weekly review said, Sheen has some "fun" one-liners but generally, he gives "a boringly flat, square-jawed performance" whereas Variety review felt "Sheen's glib, sexy persona suits the befuddled but courageous flyboy" and Empire review found him "delightful."[59][60][61]

In 1996, Sheen has returned to the science fiction genre with the film The Arrival, an initial box office flop which later gained cult following. The Los Angeles Times review praised Sheen's performance as the paranoid astronomer, saying it's the role he was "born to" play.[62] James Berardinelli also praised Sheen's "surprisingly effective" performance and noted that he carries the film "admirably."[63] IGN review was less impressed, finding him "over-the-top".[64] Sheen also made his first sitcom appearance as a guest star in the second season of the popular television series Friends. Despite later becoming a well-known sitcom star, Sheen was notably nervous during his first sitcom attempt in front of a live audience. His anxiety was so intense that filming had to pause.[65] Nevertheless, Sheen's performance was well received, earning him spots on best guest stars of the show lists by People magazine and Looper.[66][67]

Sheen next starred in the political thriller Shadow Conspiracy (1997), a commercial and critical failure. Total Film review has described the film as Sheen's "latest attempt to send his career to the gas chamber".[68] His next release, the action comedy film Money Talks (1997), was his last box office success of the decade. He then began working primarily in the direct-to-video market, often credited as Charles Sheen. His first role under that name was as a firefighter who harasses his neighbors in the thriller Bad Day on the Block (1997), released as Under Pressure in some markets. The A.V. Club praised Sheen and co-star Mare Winningham for delivering "surprisingly textured, multidimensional performances."[69]

Sheen's subsequent Charles roles included the crime comedy Free Money (1998, opposite Marlon Brando in his final leading role), the serial killer thriller Postmortem (1998, directed by Albert Pyun); and the action film No Code of Conduct (1998), which he co-wrote and produced.[70] Sheen returned to the theatrical releases by playing a fictional version of himself in the Spike Jonze film Being John Malkovich (1999) in a performance that's been described as an "inspired cameo" by Roger Ebert.[71] PopMatters review highlighted Sheen's role as maintaining a "grim sort of reality," especially considering his real-life struggles at the time, which added depth to his performance.[72] As a part of the ensemble cast, he was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for the Outstanding Performance By a Cast.

2000–2012: Sitcom roles

[edit]
Sheen in 2012

In the new millennium, Sheen has mostly moved to television roles. His first role was the Emilio Estevez-directed Showtime biographical drama film Rated X (2000), in which he and Emilio played pornographic industry entrepreneurs Artie and Jim Mitchell, respectively. Variety review gave high praise to their performances, by writing both actors do "an uncanny, genuinely impressive job".[73] New York Post review raved about their performances as "beyond good".[74]

His first sitcom lead attempt was a pilot for ABC, called Sugar Hill in 1999, which was not picked up.[75] In 2000, Sheen first appeared on the small screen as a series regular when he replaced Michael J. Fox for the last two seasons of the sitcom Spin City. After Sheen joined, the show's ratings improved among younger viewers, especially the 18–34 demographic.[76] Michael J. Fox has stated that Sheen has been doing a "great job" as his replacement.[77] For his work on Spin City, Sheen was nominated for two ALMA Awards and won his first Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.[78][79] The series ended in 2002. He also appeared in Scary Movie 3 (2003), Scary Movie 4 (2006) and Scary Movie 5 (2013) entries in the popular horror-spoof series Scary Movie.

In 2003, Sheen was cast as Charlie Harper in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, which followed the popular Monday night time slot of Everybody Loves Raymond. Sheen's role on Two and a Half Men was loosely based on Sheen's bad-boy image.[80] Sheen's performance was well received. USA Today review wrote "Sheen is so amusingly sardonic and cheerfully self-aware, he makes Charlie's immaturity endearing rather than annoying."[81] The role garnered him an ALMA Award and he gained four Emmy Award nominations and two Golden Globe award nominations.[78] During his eighth and final season on the show, Sheen earned $1.8 million per episode.[2]

Warner Bros. dismissal and publicity

[edit]

Production of Two and a Half Men went on hiatus in January 2011 while Sheen underwent a substance rehabilitation program in his home, his third attempt at rehab in 12 months.[82][83][84] The following month, CBS canceled the season's four remaining episodes after Sheen publicly made offensive comments about the series' creator, Chuck Lorre,[3] and Warner Bros. Television banned Sheen from entering its production lot.[85] Sheen, already the highest-paid actor on television,[2] responded by publicly demanding a 50-percent raise,[86] claiming that in comparison to the amount that the series was making, he was "underpaid".[86]

CBS and Warner Bros. Television terminated Sheen's contract on March 7, 2011.[87] He was replaced by Ashton Kutcher.[88][89] In the aftermath of his dismissal, Sheen continued to feud with Chuck Lorre,[90] and filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Lorre and Warner Bros. Television, which was settled the following September 26.[91] That same month, Sheen, while presenting an award at the Primetime Emmy Awards, addressed "everybody here from Two and a Half Men" and stated, "From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season. We spent eight wonderful years together and I know you will continue to make great television."[92] In 2012, Sheen returned to television in Anger Management, the spin-off of the film of the same name.[93] The series ended after a 100-episode run in the second season.[94]

In the wake of the dismissal, Sheen had a highly publicized meltdown which was broadcast on television and the Internet. He made claims in television interviews suggesting that he was a "warlock" with "tiger blood" and "Adonis DNA", and that he was "winning".[95] He also posted videos to YouTube showing himself smoking cigarettes through his nose, and cursing out his former employers.[96] He told one television interviewer, "I'm tired of pretending I'm not special. I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars."[97] After being accused of antisemitism in 2011, Sheen claimed that his mother was Jewish,[98] although Jewish Standard reporter Nate Bloom wrote that he found no evidence to support this and described Sheen's claim as "exceedingly unlikely".[99] Sheen said later that year that his father was Catholic and his mother was Southern Baptist.[11]

On September 19, 2011, Sheen was roasted on Comedy Central. It was watched by 6.4 million people, making it the highest-rated roast on Comedy Central to date.[100] Also that year, he played a role in the hip hop music video "Steak & Mash Potatoes" by Chain Swangaz featuring Brother Marquis. The video features both rappers as fast-food employees who create havoc while their boss (Sheen) is gone.[101]

2012–present

[edit]

In 2012, Sheen was cast to star alongside Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray in Roman Coppola's surreal comedy film A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III.[102] That same year he voiced Dex Dogtective in the Lionsgate animated comedy Foodfight (2012).[70] For the 2013 film Machete Kills, in which Sheen played the President of the United States, he was credited under his birth name Carlos Estévez. It was a one-time move due to the film's Hispanic theme; it was Sheen's idea to use his birth name for the film. The trailer and opening credits for the film used an "and introducing..." tag when showing Sheen's birth name.[103] Sheen's next feature film project was the ensemble film 9/11 (2017), an adaptation of the 9/11 stage play Elevator written by Patrick Carson. The film also featured Whoopi Goldberg, Gina Gershon, Luis Guzmán, Wood Harris, Jacqueline Bisset, and Bruce Davison.[104] Sheen's performance gained mixed reviews. Film critic Alonso Duralde of TheWrap wrote Sheen now "lacks the vitality he once brought to the screen, but neither does he embarrass himself."[105]

In October 2018, Sheen flew to Australia for his "An Evening with Charlie Sheen" tour.[106] During this time, he filmed an advert for car servicing company Ultra Tune, which was the next installment in their controversial "Unexpected Situations" series alongside Parnia Porsche, Laura Lydall, Tyana Hansen, and Imogen Lovell.[107][non-primary source needed][108]

In 2025 a two-part documentary about Sheen titled aka Charlie Sheen was released on Netflix.[109]

Sheen was announced as the face of and partner in "NicoSheen", a line of disposable E-cigarettes and related products.[122]

On August 13, 2011, Sheen hosted at the 12th annual Gathering of the Juggalos, an event created by the Insane Clown Posse.

On March 1, 2011, police removed the couple's sons from Sheen's home. Sheen told NBC's Today, "I stayed very calm and focused."[152] According to People, social services took the children after Mueller obtained a restraining order against Sheen. The document said, "I am very concerned that [Sheen] is currently insane."[153] Asked if he would fight for the children, Sheen texted People, "Born ready. Winning."[153] Sheen and Mueller's divorce became final on May 2, 2011.[1][154][155]

On March 1, 2011, Sheen was concurrently living with 24-year-old pornographic actress Bree Olson and 24-year-old[156] model and graphic designer Natalie Kenly, whom he collectively nicknamed his "goddesses".[157][158][159][160] Olson left Sheen in April 2011, and Kenly left in June 2011.[161][162] In a January 2013 interview on Piers Morgan Tonight, Sheen stated that he was in a relationship with adult film actress and 2011 Penthouse magazine Pet of the Month Georgia Jones.[163]

In 2015, Rossi sued Sheen after his announcement of being HIV-positive and for other allegations such as "assault and battery, emotional distress, false imprisonment and negligence".[169][170] The suit was referred to arbitration.[171] Another girlfriend of Sheen sued him in 2017, claiming that in 2015 he had concealed his HIV status from her until after they had unprotected sex.[171] The lawsuit was settled in 2022, with Sheen paying $120,000 to the woman.[172] Sheen addressed the allegations in the documentary aka Charlie Sheen (2025), reaffirming that he never transmitted HIV to another person.[173]

For many years, Sheen resided in Beverly Hills, California. He sold his property for $6.6 million in 2020.[177] As of 2022, Sheen resides in a rented house in Malibu, California.[178]

Sheen has also owned properties in Agoura Hills, Sherman Oaks and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.[179][180][181]

[edit]

On May 20, 1998, Sheen had a stroke after overdosing while using cocaine and was hospitalized. Sheen was found in his seaside home by a friend, after which paramedics rushed him to Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, California, where he was described as being in "serious condition" after his stomach was pumped.[182] Days later, Sheen checked into a rehab clinic, then told doctors that he did not intend to stay. Sheen left, but sheriff's deputies forced Sheen back to the clinic.[183] On August 11, 1998, Sheen, already on probation in California for a drug offense, had his probation extended by one year and entered a rehab clinic.[184][185] In a 2004 interview, Sheen disclosed that his previous overdose was caused by injecting cocaine.[186]

On December 25, 2009, Sheen was arrested for assaulting his wife, Brooke Mueller, in Aspen, Colorado. He was released the same day from jail after posting an $8,500 bond.[187][188] Sheen was charged with felony menacing, as well as third-degree assault and criminal mischief.[189] On August 2, 2010, Sheen, represented by Yale Galanter,[190] pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault as part of a plea bargain that included dismissal of the other charges against him. Sheen was sentenced to 30 days in a drug rehab center, 30 days of probation, and 36 hours of anger management.[191]

On October 26, 2010, the police removed Sheen from his suite at the Plaza Hotel after he reportedly caused $7,000 in damage.[192] According to the NYPD, Sheen admitted to drinking and using cocaine the night of the incident.[192]

On November 17, 2015, Sheen publicly revealed that he was HIV-positive, having been diagnosed roughly four years earlier.[6] In an interview, he referred to the acronym HIV as "three hard letters to absorb," while clarifying that his 2011 meltdown was not a response to the diagnosis, as it came afterwards.[193] He manages his condition with a triple cocktail of antiretroviral drugs, and said that it was impossible that he could have knowingly infected any of his partners.[194] Sheen noted that since 2011, he had paid extortionists approximately $10 million to keep his HIV status secret.[194] Sheen stated that he was upfront about his HIV-positive condition with all of his past partners.[194]

In an episode of The Dr. Oz Show taped in late 2015 and aired January 12, 2016, Sheen stated that he had "been off [his] meds for about a week now," receiving alternative treatment in Mexico from Sam Chachoua, who claims to have an effective vaccine for HIV; according to his manager, however, after the episode was taped he resumed taking his medications.[195]

In April 2016, Sheen had his monthly child support payments to his two ex-wives, Richards and Mueller, reduced from $55,000 to $10,000.[196] The same month, it was announced that Sheen was under investigation by the LAPD stalking unit for threatening to kill his former fiancée Scottine Ross.[197]

Sexual abuse allegation

[edit]

In 2017, Sheen sued the National Enquirer over a story alleging that, in 1986, he raped his 13-year-old co-star Corey Haim on the set of Lucas. The case was settled in 2018. Haim's mother, Judy Haim, identified a different actor as her son's rapist on The Dr. Oz Show, and told Entertainment Tonight that Sheen never raped her son, calling the claims "made up".[198][199]

In March 2020, actor Corey Feldman repeated the claim that Sheen raped Haim in his documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, corroborated by Feldman's ex-wife Susie Feldman and his Lost Boys co-star Jamison Newlander.[200] Sheen, through his publicist, denied the allegations, calling them "sick, twisted and outlandish".[199] Corey Haim's sister Cari Haim has criticized the documentary and supported Sheen's side.[201]

In 2025 while promoting his book The Book of Sheen and during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Sheen himself also denied the allegations, calling it "a bullshit", "a vile work of fiction", and a hideous insult to the memory of Haim. Sheen later said "shame on Feldman."[202] In his documentary aka Charlie Sheen, Sheen addresses the allegations and stated that he considered suing Feldman, whom has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women since then, but ultimately chose not to, saying he did not want to give him "more content."[203][204] In a 2025 documentary Corey Feldman vs. The World, Feldman further alleged that he was sexually abused by Haim, and stating that Haim claimed Sheen had told him such behavior was acceptable.[205]

Activism

[edit]

The Charlie Sheen effect

[edit]

Sheen's disclosure of his HIV-positive diagnosis corresponded with the greatest number of HIV-related Google searches ever recorded in the United States. During the three weeks following his disclosure, there were about 2.75 million more searches than expected that included the term HIV, and 1.25 million searches were directly relevant to public-health outcomes because they included search terms for condoms, HIV symptoms, or HIV testing (e.g., "get HIV tested").[206]

A 2017 study found that Sheen's disclosure corresponded with a 95% increase in over-the-counter at-home HIV testing kits.[207]

The study's authors dubbed it "The Charlie Sheen Effect", with commenters noting "Charlie Sheen did more for HIV education than most UN events do."[208] Sheen spoke out for HIV prevention, sharing the studies on social media, tweeting "Honored, humbled, inspired, hopeful."[209]

Charity work

[edit]

Sheen was the 2004 spokesperson for the Lee National Denim Day breast cancer fundraiser that raised millions of dollars for research and education regarding the disease. Sheen stated that a friend of his died from breast cancer, and he wanted to try to help find a cure for the disease.[210]

A major donor and supporter of Aid For AIDS since 2006, Sheen was honored with an AFA Angel Award, one of only a few ever given, at the nonprofit's 25th Silver Anniversary Reception in 2009.[211] In addition to his financial support, he has volunteered to act as a celebrity judge for several years for their annual fundraiser, Best in Drag Show,[212] which raises around a quarter of a million dollars[211] each year in Los Angeles for AIDS assistance.[213][214] He has brought other celebrities to support the event, including his father, actor Martin Sheen.[215] Sheen's interest in AIDS was first reported in 1987 with his support of Ryan White, an Indiana teenager who became a national spokesperson for AIDS awareness after being infected with AIDS through a blood transfusion for his hemophilia.[216][217]

On March 27, 2008, Sheen and Jenna Elfman co-hosted the Scientology-affiliated New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project charity event.[218]

Sheen donated one dollar from each ticket sold from his "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show" 2011 tour to the Red Cross Japanese earthquake Relief Fund.[117]

In 2011, Sheen took on a Twitter challenge by a grieving mother to help critically ill babies born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia by supporting the Association of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research, Awareness and Support (CDHRAS).[219]

Sheen is a lifelong fan of the Cincinnati Reds. In August 2012, he announced that he would donate $50,000 to the team's community fund, which supports various charities. The donation came after the team raised another $50,000 in an attempt to get sportscaster Marty Brennaman to shave his head on the field after a Reds victory. After Brennaman shaved his head, Sheen offered to match the previous donation total.[220]

Opinions

[edit]

Political views

[edit]

In a 2015 interview, Sheen described himself as a "constitutional Republican" and expressed a desire to run for president in 2016.[221] Despite having been an active critic of the Bush administration at the time it was in power, Sheen spoke fondly of George W. Bush in 2014, saying: "He did the best he could with what he was confronted with, and it is beyond anything I can comprehend".[222]

Sheen has been publicly scathing about President Donald Trump. In 2016, he labeled Trump a "charlatan" and wished death upon him.[223][224] However, in a 2025 appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show during her live tour, Sheen stated that he voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States presidential election, but more recently has "been listening to both sides", praised some of Trump's policy, including his negotiated agreements in international conflicts and said he had to "part ways" with Democratic Party.[225]

Despite being a gun enthusiast in his youth, Sheen has spoken in favor of gun control. In 2013, while discussing Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, he commented, "If anybody from the NRA wants to look any of those parents in the eyes from that school and tell them that guns are still necessary, then I urge them to, and see how that goes," and added that, "we're not supposed to bury our children."[226]

September 11 attacks

[edit]

Sheen is an outspoken advocate of the 9/11 truth movement.[227] On September 8, 2009, he appealed to President Barack Obama to set up a new investigation into the attacks. Presenting his views as a transcript of a fictional encounter with Obama, he was characterized by the press as believing the 9/11 Commission was a whitewash and that the George W. Bush administration may have been responsible for the attacks.[228]

Anti-vaccination

[edit]

Sheen is staunchly opposed to vaccinations. After separating from Denise Richards, he sent a legal notice to his daughters' physician stating his lack of consent to vaccinate them.[229] The dispute over vaccines seems to have played an important role in the failure of the marriage. Richards said in an interview in 2008, "When I vaccinated Sam, he accused me of poisoning her. And I knew when he said that that the marriage wasn't going to work."[230]

Charlie Sheen

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Charlie Sheen (born Carlos Irwin Estévez; September 3, 1965) is an American actor recognized for his breakout roles in the films Platoon (1986), where he portrayed a young soldier in Vietnam, and Wall Street (1987), as an ambitious stockbroker. Born in New York City to actor Martin Sheen (born Ramón Estévez) and artist Janet Templeton, Sheen, the second-youngest of four siblings, adopted his stage name early in his career while following his family's path into acting, debuting in minor roles before gaining prominence in the 1980s. Sheen's television success peaked with his portrayal of hedonistic jingle writer Charlie Harper on Two and a Half Men (2003–2011), for which he earned up to $1.8 million per episode, making him the highest-paid actor on television at the time, though his tenure ended abruptly when he was fired due to chronic substance abuse, erratic on-set behavior, and public attacks on the show's creator Chuck Lorre. This dismissal followed a 2011 public meltdown fueled by heavy drug use, during which Sheen gave bizarre interviews boasting of "tiger blood" and being "winning," alongside claims of superior intellect and Adonis DNA, exacerbating his professional downfall. In November 2015, Sheen publicly disclosed his HIV-positive diagnosis, which dated back to 2011, explaining that he had paid millions to individuals attempting to blackmail him over the condition to maintain privacy until tabloid threats forced his hand; his physician confirmed at the time that Sheen's viral load was undetectable due to treatment compliance. Sheen's life and career have been defined by cycles of acclaimed performances, legal troubles stemming from addiction and domestic incidents, and attempts at redemption, underscoring the consequences of unchecked personal excesses in Hollywood.

Early Life

Family Background and Childhood

Charlie Sheen was born Carlos Irwin Estévez on September 3, 1965, in New York City. His father, Martin Sheen (born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez), was an established actor known for roles in films and theater, while his mother, Janet Templeton, had worked as an artist and former New York art student. Sheen was the youngest of four children in a family with strong ties to the entertainment industry; his older siblings included brothers Emilio Estévez (born May 12, 1962) and Ramon Estévez (born August 7, 1963), as well as younger sister Renée Estévez, all of whom pursued acting careers. In 1970, the family relocated from New York City to Malibu, California, following Martin Sheen's Broadway performance in The Subject Was Roses, which provided greater opportunities in Hollywood. Sheen spent much of his childhood in this coastal environment, where his parents' professional pursuits exposed him and his siblings to film and television sets from an early age, fostering an early familiarity with the industry.

Education and Initial Interests

Sheen, born Carlos Irwin Estévez on September 3, 1965, in New York City, relocated with his family to California during his childhood, where he attended Santa Monica High School. At the school, he demonstrated athletic talent as a star pitcher and shortstop on the baseball team, alongside classmates including Robert Downey Jr., Rob Lowe, and Sean Penn. His academic performance, however, was subpar, marked by poor grades and irregular attendance. In addition to sports, Sheen developed an early interest in acting and filmmaking, influenced by his father Martin Sheen's career; he made his screen debut at age nine as an extra in the 1974 television film The Execution of Private Slovik, starring his father. During high school, he pursued this passion by producing amateur Super 8 films with his brother Emilio Estévez and friends, foreshadowing his professional trajectory. A few weeks before his scheduled graduation in 1983, Sheen was expelled from Santa Monica High School due to his academic deficiencies and attendance issues, forgoing formal completion to focus on acting opportunities. In September 2013, he received a belated high school diploma certificate from school officials during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, presented by his former baseball coach. Sheen did not pursue higher education, instead prioritizing entry into the entertainment industry.

Professional Career

Film Breakthrough (1980s–1990s)

Sheen began his film career with minor roles in the early 1980s, including an uncredited appearance in The Final Countdown (1980) and a small part in Gandhi (1982), before securing his first substantial screen credit as an extra in his brother Emilio Estevez's film Grizzly II: The Predator (1983). His breakthrough arrived with the role of Matt Eckert, a high school student fighting Soviet invaders, in John Milius's Red Dawn (1984), which became the highest-grossing war film at the time with over $85 million worldwide on a modest budget. This performance, alongside co-stars Patrick Swayze and C. Thomas Howell, established Sheen as a rising teen idol in action-oriented youth dramas. Sheen's critical acclaim intensified with Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986), where he portrayed Chris Taylor, a naive college dropout thrust into the moral chaos of the Vietnam War; the film, drawing from Stone's own experiences, earned four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and grossed $138.5 million domestically against a $6 million budget. Critics praised Sheen's raw depiction of disillusionment, with the film holding an 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 122 reviews. He followed this with Wall Street (1987), again under Stone's direction, as ambitious stockbroker Bud Fox, mentored by Michael Douglas's Gordon Gekko; the film critiqued 1980s corporate greed, earned Douglas an Oscar for Best Actor, and generated $43.8 million domestically. Sheen's role, opposite his father Martin Sheen as his on-screen father, showcased his ability to convey ethical compromise, contributing to the film's 79% Rotten Tomatoes score. The late 1980s saw Sheen diversify into ensemble Western Young Guns (1988), as young Billy the Kid alongside Emilio Estevez, which earned $45.7 million and spawned a sequel, and baseball comedy Major League (1989), where he played wildcard pitcher Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, grossing $49.8 million and gaining cult status for its quotable dialogue and Sheen's energetic performance. Entering the 1990s, he headlined action films like Navy SEALs (1990) as a elite operative, emphasizing his shift toward leading-man status in high-octane genres, though reception was mixed with a 5.6/10 IMDb rating. Parodies such as Hot Shots! (1991), spoofing Top Gun with Sheen as top-gun pilot Topper Harley, capitalized on his charisma and earned $89.8 million domestically, while Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993) continued the formula with $38.1 million and self-referential humor targeting his own persona. These roles solidified Sheen's commercial viability, blending dramatic intensity from his breakthrough era with comedic appeal, though some critics noted a dilution of the depth seen in Platoon and Wall Street.

Television Stardom (2000–2011)

Sheen achieved prominence on television starting in 2000 when he replaced Michael J. Fox as the lead in the ABC sitcom Spin City, portraying Charlie Crawford, the Deputy Mayor of New York City, for 45 episodes across the final two seasons from 2000 to 2002. The series concluded on April 30, 2002, after Sheen's performance earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy in 2002. In 2003, Sheen transitioned to CBS with the lead role of Charlie Harper, a hedonistic jingle writer and bachelor, in the sitcom Two and a Half Men, which premiered on September 22, 2003, created by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn. The show depicted Harper's life upended by his divorced brother Alan and nephew Jake moving in, blending crude humor with family dynamics, and quickly became a ratings powerhouse, averaging around 15 million viewers per episode during Sheen's tenure. By 2010, Sheen had become the highest-paid actor on television, earning approximately $1.8 million per episode, with reports indicating up to $1.9 million including backend syndication points in his final season. The series' success propelled Sheen to widespread fame, with his portrayal of the self-indulgent yet charismatic Harper central to its appeal, though it also drew scrutiny for its explicit content and Sheen's off-screen personal struggles involving substance abuse, which intensified in the late 2000s. Multiple rehab stints, including one in January 2011, disrupted production, culminating in CBS halting filming in February 2011 after Sheen made public criticisms of Lorre and exhibited erratic behavior. Sheen was formally dismissed from the show on March 7, 2011, ending his run after eight seasons and 177 episodes.

Two and a Half Men and Peak Earnings

premiered on CBS on September 22, 2003, with Charlie Sheen starring as Charlie Harper, a wealthy, womanizing jingle composer residing in a Malibu beach house. The sitcom depicted Harper's life upended when his straitlaced brother Alan Harper and young nephew Jake relocate to his home following Alan's divorce, leading to comedic clashes amid Harper's hedonistic pursuits. Sheen embodied the character's sarcastic, carefree persona across the show's first eight seasons, delivering 178 episodes centered on family dynamics and bachelor excesses. The series rapidly ascended to television prominence, securing top ratings such as a 10.6 household share in its second season and sustaining dominance as a leading sitcom through Sheen's run. It garnered multiple Emmy nominations and wins, including three in 2012 for technical achievements, underscoring its production quality and broad appeal despite evolving critical reception. Sheen's compensation evolved substantially, commencing at around $250,000 per episode in season one before climbing to $1.25 million by mid-run, augmented by backend deals. By 2010, he commanded $1.8 million per episode, establishing him as television's highest-paid actor. In season eight, his final full year, salary negotiations yielded approximately $1.9 million per episode, with some accounts citing figures approaching $2 million amid escalating demands. This peak remuneration reflected the program's syndication value and Sheen's draw, though it foreshadowed contract disputes.

Dismissal, Meltdowns, and Immediate Fallout

In early 2011, Charlie Sheen's ongoing substance abuse issues escalated, leading to multiple production shutdowns on Two and a Half Men. After completing his third stint in rehabilitation in January 2011, Sheen returned to the set but exhibited erratic behavior, prompting conflicts with executive producer Chuck Lorre and halting filming on at least two occasions. Sheen's public meltdowns intensified in February 2011 amid these tensions. On February 24, he appeared on a radio show hosted by Alex Jones, where he denounced Lorre using profanities and mocked the show's production, escalating personal attacks that included references to Lorre's sobriety and creative decisions. Days later, on February 28, Sheen gave a widely viewed ABC News interview in which he claimed to possess "tiger blood," declared himself "winning" and "bi-winning," rejected a bipolar diagnosis while admitting to extreme drug use—including consuming significant quantities of cocaine—and described himself as a "rock star from Mars." These statements, delivered in a disjointed and combative manner, were later attributed by Sheen himself to heavy intoxication during the period. The cumulative effect of Sheen's conduct culminated in his dismissal from the series on March 7, 2011. Warner Bros. Television terminated his contract effective immediately, citing multiple breaches including threats of physical violence against Lorre, promotion of drug use to minors via parties at his home, and violations of a clause prohibiting "felony offenses involving moral turpitude," as detailed in a letter to Sheen's attorney that recounted specific incidents of absenteeism and hostility on set. Immediate fallout included the cancellation of the remaining four episodes of the season by CBS, which had already invested heavily in production, and Sheen's prompt filing of a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. on March 10, 2011, alleging wrongful termination and interference with his promotional rights. Sheen's viral rants drew massive media attention but severely damaged his professional standing, with the network and studio prioritizing show stability over reconciliation.

Post-2011 Roles and Recovery (2012–Present)

Following his dismissal from Two and a Half Men in March 2011, Sheen secured the lead role in the FX sitcom Anger Management, which premiered on June 28, 2012, and ran for 100 episodes until December 22, 2014. In the series, Sheen portrayed Charlie Goodson, an anger-management therapist dealing with personal and professional challenges, drawing parallels to his own life experiences. The show achieved moderate success, with Sheen earning approximately $600,000 per episode, though it faced criticism for formulaic writing and reliance on Sheen's persona. Sheen appeared in several films during this period, including supporting roles in She Wants Me (2012), A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2013), Scary Movie 5 (2013), and Machete Kills (2013). These projects marked a shift from lead television roles to more sporadic cinematic appearances, often in ensemble casts or comedies. By the late 2010s and into the 2020s, his acting output diminished further, limited primarily to guest spots, such as multiple cameos as himself and other characters in the HBO series Bookie across its 2023 and 2024 seasons. Parallel to his professional endeavors, Sheen has focused on recovery from long-term substance abuse issues. After multiple rehab stints, including one in 2011 amid his public meltdown, he achieved sustained sobriety from alcohol by late 2023, crediting a personal health motivation for the final cessation after decades of addiction that included cocaine overdoses and a 1998 stroke. His recovery narrative gained renewed attention in the 2025 Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen, where he reflected on addiction's toll, including family impacts and near-fatal episodes. In November 2015, Sheen publicly disclosed his HIV-positive diagnosis, which dated back approximately four years to around 2011, stating he had informed partners and managed the condition with antiretroviral medications that reduced his viral load to undetectable levels. The announcement, made on NBC's Today show on November 17, 2015, led to a reported surge in HIV testing, dubbed the "Charlie Sheen effect," with sales nearly doubling in the following weeks. Sheen has since described effective management through medication, including participation in clinical trials for experimental treatments, allowing him to maintain health without transmission risk when adherent. As of 2025, he signed with WME agency in October to develop new production ventures, signaling a pivot toward behind-the-scenes work amid ongoing personal stability.

Recent Projects and Media Ventures (2020s)

In 2021, Sheen appeared in the horror film Grizzly II: Revenge, a long-delayed sequel originally filmed in the 1980s but completed and released direct-to-video that year with additional footage. The project marked one of his few on-screen roles in the early 2020s, amid a period of reduced acting output following his HIV disclosure in 2015 and ongoing recovery from substance abuse. Sheen's media presence shifted toward personal storytelling in 2025 with the release of the two-part Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen on September 10, which features interviews with family, friends, and former associates, including his past drug dealer, detailing his Hollywood ascent, public scandals, and seven years of sobriety as of that year. The film includes previously unseen footage and Sheen's reflections on events like his 2011 dismissal from Two and a Half Men, presented as a candid self-examination rather than a scripted narrative. Accompanying the documentary, Sheen published the memoir The Book of Sheen in September 2025, chronicling his career highs, personal lows, and path to stability, with promotional live appearances such as a moderated Q&A event scheduled for October 25, 2025, at Reno's Grand Sierra Resort. In October 2025, Sheen signed with the William Morris Endeavor agency and partnered with producer Todd Christopher to launch STRAC Media, a production company focused on developing television, film, non-scripted content, and brand partnerships, signaling a pivot toward behind-the-scenes ventures. No major acting projects had been confirmed for release by late 2025, though unproduced titles like Major League 4 remained in development limbo.

Other Ventures

Business and Endorsements

Sheen capitalized on his public persona during the 2011 media frenzy surrounding his dismissal from Two and a Half Men, securing endorsement deals estimated at $2 million over the prior 12 months, including a Twitter sponsorship with Ad.ly that generated promotional tweets for brands. Companies pursued merchandising opportunities tied to his "winning" catchphrase, such as T-shirts, comic books, and energy drinks, though many proposals like a $3 million offer from The Chill Group to endorse their "Just Chill" beverage by remaining silent were not finalized. Early Twitter sponsors included internships.com, which paid for a promotional post highlighting job opportunities for recent graduates. Post-2011, Sheen's endorsement activities diminished amid personal controversies, with no major deals reported until recent sobriety-stabilized ventures. In September 2025, he co-founded Wild AF Brewing, partnering with The Silent Group and Harpoon Brewery to launch a non-alcoholic beer line marketed as a sober lifestyle product, reflecting his recovery narrative. In October 2025, Sheen established a new production company in collaboration with producer Todd Christopher, signing with WME for representation across film, television, non-scripted content, and brand partnerships to develop projects leveraging his career resurgence. This entity builds on familial production ties, such as Estevez Sheen Productions founded by his father Martin Sheen in 2002, though Sheen's direct involvement in the latter remains limited to occasional projects. Broader investments are noted in financial analyses as efforts to stabilize his portfolio after peak earnings exceeded $100 million annually from acting, but specific holdings beyond real estate and residuals are not publicly detailed.

Personal Life

Marriages and Relationships

Sheen married model Donna Peele on September 3, 1995, in a private ceremony; the union lasted less than one year and ended in divorce in 1996 with no children or public details on the dissolution. He met actress Denise Richards on the set of the 2000 film Good Advice, and they wed on June 15, 2002, in a small ceremony at a California ranch. The couple had two daughters: Sam "Sami" J. Sheen, born March 9, 2004, and Lola Rose Sheen, born June 1, 2005. Richards filed for divorce in March 2005, citing irreconcilable differences, amid reports of Sheen's infidelity—including an alleged affair with an adult film actress—and ongoing substance abuse issues; the divorce finalized on November 20, 2006, after contentious custody disputes. Post-divorce, Richards obtained a restraining order against Sheen in 2011 following threats, though they later reconciled enough for co-parenting. Sheen began dating real estate investor Brooke Mueller in 2006 and married her on May 30, 2008, in Santa Barbara, California. They welcomed twin sons, Max and Bob, via surrogate on March 14, 2009. The marriage deteriorated rapidly, marked by Sheen's December 25, 2009, arrest for domestic violence after Mueller alleged he assaulted her while holding one of their infants; charges were dropped after Mueller declined to cooperate. Both filed for divorce on November 1, 2010, which finalized in 2011, leading to shared custody battles influenced by Sheen's HIV diagnosis disclosure in 2015 and Mueller's own substance issues. Prior to his marriages, Sheen had high-profile relationships, including an engagement to actress Kelly Preston in 1989 that ended in early 1990 after Preston was accidentally shot by Robert Blake, with whom she later became involved. He also dated actress Robin Wright briefly in the mid-1980s. Following his 2011 divorce from Mueller, Sheen publicly pursued a polyamorous arrangement with two women he dubbed his "goddesses"—adult film actresses Bree Olson and Natalie Kenly—from 2011 to early 2012, amid his "winning" publicity stunts and substance relapses. Olson continued a relationship with him until January 2013. His HIV-positive status, diagnosed in 2011 but undisclosed until 2015, led to lawsuits from former partners alleging non-disclosure during unprotected sex, including a 2017 settlement with an adult film actress for $12 million. As of 2025, Sheen has stated he is single and content without pursuing new relationships.

Children and Family Reconciliation

Charlie Sheen has five children from three different partners. His eldest daughter, Cassandra Estevez, was born on December 12, 1984, to high school girlfriend Paula Speert. With second wife Denise Richards, he fathered daughters Sam J. "Sami" Sheen on March 9, 2004, and Lola Rose Sheen on June 1, 2005. Third wife Brooke Mueller gave birth to twin sons, Max Sheen and Bob Sheen, on March 14, 2009. Sheen's relationships with his children have been strained by his history of substance abuse, legal issues, and erratic public behavior, leading to custody disputes and periods of limited contact. Following his 2011 dismissal from Two and a Half Men amid relapses, Richards was granted primary custody of Sami and Lola in 2012, with Sheen receiving supervised visitation initially due to concerns over his stability. Mueller similarly pursued sole custody of the twins in 2011 after domestic incidents, though joint custody was later arranged. Cassandra, who pursued acting roles including appearances in The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) and her father's films, has maintained a more independent but supportive relationship with Sheen, occasionally defending him publicly. Efforts at family reconciliation intensified after Sheen's HIV disclosure in November 2015 and subsequent sobriety milestones. Richards has described informing Sami and Lola of the diagnosis amid media frenzy, noting the family's navigation of the fallout together. By 2023, Sheen credited a pivotal conversation with Sami—where she confronted his self-destructive path—as a turning point motivating sustained sobriety. In a September 2025 Netflix documentary, Sheen recounted this exchange, emphasizing his commitment to being present for his children. Mueller, who relapsed in 2024 but entered recovery, praised Sheen for "stepping up" to support her treatment, highlighting improved co-parenting for the twins, who remain largely private but were spotted with her at events in 2024. Despite progress, tensions persist, particularly with Sami, who in 2025 described an estrangement, claiming no communication and criticizing family dynamics publicly on social media. Sheen addressed this in September 2025 interviews, expressing willingness to "do anything" for reconciliation while respecting her autonomy, amid reports of sibling friction with Lola over personal choices. Lola has been more open to reconnection, participating in family discussions in the documentary. Overall, Sheen's family involvement in his recovery narrative underscores a partial mending, though full harmony remains elusive, with ex-wives Richards and Mueller providing candid insights into ongoing challenges in recent media appearances.

Residences and Lifestyle Choices

Charlie Sheen owned several luxury properties in the Los Angeles area during the peak of his career, including a 7,924-square-foot home in Los Angeles purchased for $7.2 million in 2006. He also maintained residences in Beverly Hills, Encino, and a condominium in Malibu. In 2016, Sheen listed a 9,020-square-foot mansion in the Mulholland Estates enclave, which he had acquired for $7 million earlier that year. Following professional and personal setbacks, including his 2011 dismissal from Two and a Half Men and subsequent financial strains, Sheen sold off much of his real estate portfolio. A notable sale occurred in January 2020, when he offloaded a Beverly Hills mansion for $6.6 million after multiple price reductions. By 2022, he had transitioned to renting a home in Malibu for approximately $16,350 per month, marking a shift from ownership to more modest leased accommodations amid reduced earnings. Sheen's lifestyle choices evolved significantly post-2017, aligning with his sobriety milestone—achieved around that year and maintained for eight years as of 2025—emphasizing health management and avoidance of past excesses. He employs mental strategies, such as reframing temptations as incompatible with his recovery goals, to sustain abstinence from alcohol and drugs, while incorporating practices like acupuncture for overall wellness. Additionally, Sheen reported maintaining celibacy for nearly a decade by 2025, a deliberate choice amid his HIV management and family-focused priorities, reflecting a broader retreat from the high-profile, party-centric living that characterized his earlier years. This downsized, low-key residential approach supports his long-term stability, contrasting sharply with prior extravagant expenditures tied to substance-fueled habits.

Health Challenges and Recovery

Substance Abuse History

Charlie Sheen's substance abuse issues, primarily involving cocaine, crack cocaine, and alcohol, date back to the early stages of his acting career and persisted for decades, leading to multiple rehabilitations, legal convictions, and professional repercussions. In September 1990, he completed a one-month stint in drug rehabilitation after voluntarily checking himself in, marking one of his earliest public interventions for addiction. Between 1990 and 2010, Sheen faced convictions for several misdemeanors tied to his substance use, including incidents involving intoxication and related behaviors. A near-fatal escalation occurred in May 1998, when Sheen overdosed on cocaine, resulting in a stroke; his father, Martin Sheen, subsequently persuaded him to enter rehabilitation in Malibu, California. Despite these efforts, relapses continued, culminating in a high-profile 2010 incident where he was found highly intoxicated in a trashed room at New York City's Plaza Hotel and admitted to police that he had used cocaine. The most publicized phase of Sheen's addiction unfolded in 2011, amid his firing from the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men. Hospitalized earlier that year for abdominal pain linked to drug use, he entered rehabilitation but soon engaged in erratic public behavior, including a March ABC News interview where he admitted to consuming "seven-gram rocks" of crack cocaine daily—"banging" them in a manner he claimed exceeded survivable limits. Producers cited fears that his cocaine addiction could prove lethal as a factor in terminating his contract, following episodes of on-set unreliability and hospitalization. Sheen's admissions highlighted the severity of his dependency, which he later described in memoirs as cunning and pervasive, infiltrating daily routines despite attempts at moderation.

HIV Diagnosis, Disclosure, and Management

Charlie Sheen was diagnosed with HIV in 2011 after experiencing symptoms including stabbing headaches and night sweats, which prompted medical testing. He later described feeling a sense of relief upon receiving the diagnosis, attributing it to an end to uncertainty amid his prior lifestyle of heavy drug use and promiscuity. Sheen publicly disclosed his HIV-positive status on November 17, 2015, during an interview on NBC's Today show with Matt Lauer, stating, "I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive." The revelation followed years of secrecy, during which he paid more than $10 million to individuals who had learned of his condition and attempted to extort him by threatening public exposure. Accompanied by his physician, Dr. Robert Huizenga, Sheen emphasized that the disclosure aimed to halt ongoing blackmail and misinformation campaigns. Following diagnosis, Sheen was immediately prescribed a regimen of four antiretroviral medications, which reduced his HIV viral load to undetectable levels in his blood. Dr. Huizenga confirmed that Sheen does not have AIDS and, with consistent treatment adherence, could expect a normal lifespan, though he noted risks from Sheen's history of substance abuse potentially complicating management. By 2016, Sheen transitioned to an experimental weekly injectable treatment, PRO 140, developed by CytoDyn, which maintained his viral suppression as an antibody-based therapy targeting HIV entry into cells. Sheen has since reported sustained undetectable status, crediting the regimen for controlling the virus despite intermittent relapses in personal habits.

Sobriety and Long-Term Health

Sheen achieved lasting sobriety in 2017, following decades of substance abuse involving alcohol, cocaine, and prescription opioids, after multiple failed rehabilitation attempts and relapses, including one during production of Two and a Half Men triggered by painkillers. He has maintained complete abstinence from drugs and alcohol for eight years as of September 2025, crediting the decision to his recognition of severe physical toll—including near-cardiac failure—and emotional impact on his children, which prompted a voluntary commitment to recovery without external coercion. This sustained sobriety contrasts with prior patterns of erratic behavior and public meltdowns, such as his 2011 firing from Two and a Half Men, which he attributes to untreated addiction rather than inherent instability. In tandem with sobriety, Sheen's long-term health management centers on his HIV diagnosis, publicly disclosed on November 17, 2015, after approximately four years of private treatment amid symptoms like persistent headaches and night sweats. He adheres to antiretroviral therapy, which has rendered his viral load undetectable, enabling non-transmissibility under standard medical protocols, though he emphasizes in recent accounts that sobriety is essential to avoid relapse-induced complications that could prove fatal given his age and history. A 2023 health update confirmed ongoing stability, and by 2025, Sheen reports no acute issues, having adopted celibacy for nearly a decade to mitigate risks, while framing his condition as managed rather than cured. Fatherhood has reinforced adherence, with Sheen prioritizing family reconciliation over past excesses, though he acknowledges lifelong predispositions to addiction stemming from early exposure at age 10.

Arrests, Assaults, and Lawsuits

On December 20, 1996, Sheen was arrested at his Malibu home and charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly assaulting his then-girlfriend, actress Brittany Ashland, during an argument. Ashland reported that Sheen threw her against the floor and furniture, causing injuries including bruises and a bloody mouth; Sheen claimed self-defense after she attacked him with a knife. In December 1997, he pleaded no contest to the charge, receiving a suspended 30-day jail sentence, three years of probation, and a court order for alcohol counseling and anger management classes. Sheen's most prominent arrest occurred on December 25, 2009, in Aspen, Colorado, where he was charged with second-degree assault, criminal mischief, and menacing for allegedly attacking his wife, Brooke Mueller, during a holiday dispute at a rented home. Mueller reported that Sheen pinned her against a bedpost, held a knife to her throat while threatening to kill her, and caused visible injuries including arm bruises; responding officers noted broken glass and a slashed tire on her car, leading to the mischief charge. Sheen was released on $8,500 bail and entered rehab shortly after. On August 2, 2010, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor third-degree assault as part of a plea deal, avoiding felony charges; the sentence included 30 days in jail (suspended for good behavior and rehab completion), 30 days of work release, three years of probation, 48 hours of alcohol screening and education, and 36 hours of domestic violence counseling. These incidents contributed to broader legal entanglements, including Mueller's 2011 divorce filing citing irreconcilable differences amid the assault case, which resolved with joint custody of their twins after Sheen temporarily surrendered rights during her rehab stints. No additional criminal arrests for assaults followed, though Sheen's 2011 firing from Two and a Half Men prompted mutual lawsuits: he sued Warner Bros. and producer Chuck Lorre for $100 million alleging wrongful termination and harassment, while they countersued for $100 million claiming breach of contract due to his drug use and threats, settling confidentially in September 2011.

Public Erratic Behavior and Media Backlash

In early 2011, Charlie Sheen's conduct drew intense scrutiny during conflicts with the production of Two and a Half Men, exacerbated by his recent hospitalization on January 27 for severe abdominal pains stemming from a reported 36-hour binge involving cocaine, vodka, and prostitutes. While under court-ordered rehab at his home, Sheen conducted a series of radio and television interviews in February, lambasting co-creator Chuck Lorre as a "contaminated little maggot" and "turd" unfit to write for him, while denying active substance use and claiming superior intellect. These rants escalated public concern over his stability, with Sheen asserting on February 24 that he was "100 percent sober" yet delivering disjointed defenses of his lifestyle. Sheen's media appearances peaked in late February with surreal declarations, including on NBC's Today show on February 28, where he described having "Adonis DNA," "tiger blood," and being "bi-winning" rather than bipolar, while insisting CBS executives should be "licking the flecks off my shoes" for his value to the series. In an ABC Good Morning America interview the same day and subsequent 20/20 special on March 1 titled "In His Own Words," he elaborated on having "tiger blood" that made him resilient—"dying's for fools, dying's for amateurs"—and claimed to be on a unique "Charlie Sheen" drug, while referencing himself as a "high priest Vatican assassin warlock" in an earlier Alex Jones radio appearance. These statements, often delivered with apparent lucidity amid production delays and cast tensions, fueled viral memes and widespread speculation tying his outbursts to ongoing addiction issues, despite his repeated sobriety claims. The backlash intensified when Warner Bros. Television fired Sheen on March 7, 2011, issuing a statement that his "bad-boy" antics, including televised threats to assault Lorre, had become "untenable," halting production and costing the studio millions. Co-creator Lorre responded indirectly via the show's end credits with a sobriety message, while CBS condemned Sheen's "ill-advised" attacks on the network and producers. Mainstream outlets like TIME and BBC framed the episode as a classic celebrity meltdown driven by substance abuse and ego, contrasting Sheen's self-proclaimed invincibility with evidence of set disruptions and prior rehab stints; Sheen countersued for $100 million, alleging wrongful termination to avoid paying his $1.8 million per episode salary, but settled out of court in September 2011. The saga extended to Sheen's April 2011 "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Death to Hollywood" tour, which sold out initially on novelty but faltered amid audience boos in Detroit for incoherent rants mirroring his interviews. Years later, Sheen attributed elements of the episode to excessive testosterone cream use amplifying mania, though contemporaries linked it primarily to cocaine relapse.

Sexual Misconduct Allegations and Denials

In March 2020, actor Corey Feldman alleged in his documentary My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys that Charlie Sheen sodomized Corey Haim, then aged 13, during the filming of the 1986 movie Lucas, claiming Haim had confided the details to him years later. Sheen, who was approximately 20 at the time, categorically denied the accusation, describing it as "absolutely f--king bullshit" and "categorically false" in statements and his 2025 Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen. Haim's mother, Judy Haim, publicly rejected the claim as "all made up," stating that her son never mentioned any such incident involving Sheen during his lifetime. The allegation originated from Feldman's 2017 public statements and gained traction through tabloid reporting, prompting Sheen to file a defamation lawsuit against the National Enquirer in December 2017 for publishing the story without evidence; the suit was later settled out of court. Additional civil lawsuits have accused Sheen of physical and sexual battery. In December 2015, Sheen's former fiancée Scottine Ross (professional name Brett Rossi), an adult film actress, filed a complaint alleging multiple instances of assault and battery during their relationship, including Sheen throwing her against walls and furniture amid his substance abuse episodes, as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress and failure to disclose his HIV-positive status prior to unprotected sex. Ross sought damages exceeding $5 million; the case was settled confidentially in 2017 without admission of liability by Sheen. Sheen countered that he had disclosed his HIV diagnosis and characterized some claims as extortion attempts, a pattern he has described in relation to other partners who received financial settlements totaling over $10 million following his 2015 public HIV disclosure. Sheen has consistently denied all allegations of non-consensual sexual conduct, attributing many to financial motives or fabrications amid his admitted history of sex addiction and promiscuity involving over 5,000 partners, including paid escorts and adult film actresses. No criminal charges have resulted in convictions for sexual misconduct, and Sheen maintains that his payments were protective measures against baseless publicity threats rather than acknowledgments of wrongdoing. Independent verification of the claims remains limited, with sources like Feldman facing scrutiny for inconsistencies in his broader abuse narratives and tabloid outlets like the National Enquirer having a history of sensationalism.

Public Views and Activism

Political Positions

Sheen has eschewed formal affiliation with political parties, describing his outlook as transcending conventional liberal-conservative divides and inclining toward radical skepticism of institutional narratives. In 2009, he publicly questioned the official account of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, arguing that nineteen hijackers armed with box cutters achieving such precise outcomes strained credulity and constituted a conspiracy theory in itself; he characterized the 9/11 Commission Report as a whitewash and, in a video address, implored President Barack Obama to initiate a new investigation. Sheen opposed Donald Trump's 2016 presidential candidacy, explicitly stating he did not want to witness Trump "winning" the election and recounting personal disdain for Trump stemming from a 1990s encounter. In a September 2025 interview with Tucker Carlson, Sheen reiterated his rejection of the official 9/11 explanation, attributing it to controlled demolition rather than hijacker incompetence, and disclosed receiving a admonishment from a White House official after partnering with Alex Jones to advocate for 9/11 truth during the Obama administration—an episode that, per Sheen, highlighted governmental intolerance for dissent.

Conspiracy Endorsements

In 2006, Sheen publicly questioned the official narrative of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, describing the hijacking of four commercial airliners by 19 individuals armed with box cutters and their success in striking three targets as implausible and suggestive of a "setup." He recounted observing the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on television and remarking to his brother that they appeared to fall in a manner resembling controlled demolition. Sheen also demanded evidence regarding the reported maneuvers of the aircraft that struck the Pentagon, emphasizing a need for transparency to honor victims and families. By September 2009, Sheen aligned himself with the 9/11 "truther" movement, co-authoring an open letter titled "20 Minutes with the President" that alleged fraud in the government's account of the events and called for a new investigation. In the letter, published on platforms associated with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Sheen urged grassroots activism to challenge official pretexts for policy agendas and requested a personal meeting with President Barack Obama to discuss the purported cover-up. He appeared on Jones's radio program multiple times that month to promote these views, framing the persistence of unanswered questions as evidence of systemic deception. Sheen reaffirmed his skepticism of the 9/11 commission's findings in a September 26, 2025, interview with Tucker Carlson, rejecting elements of the official story as unsellable and citing the absence of Pentagon surveillance footage despite extensive monitoring as suspicious. He recounted collaborating with Alex Jones in the early 2000s to publicize alternative theories, which prompted a brief admonishment from a White House official warning of potential career repercussions for promoting such ideas. These endorsements have positioned Sheen within fringe interpretive communities, though he has not detailed comprehensive alternative explanations beyond highlighting perceived inconsistencies in the empirical record.

Vaccine Skepticism and Health Advocacy Critiques

Sheen has expressed opposition to childhood vaccinations, particularly evident in his 2008 custody dispute with ex-wife Denise Richards over their daughters, Sami and Lola. Richards sought to vaccinate the children, citing medical recommendations, while Sheen refused consent, sending a legal notice to their physician and voicing concerns that vaccines could harm them, which Richards described as paranoia-driven. The matter escalated to court, where Richards prevailed, allowing the vaccinations to proceed despite Sheen's stance. This position has led to Sheen being categorized among celebrities skeptical of vaccines, though he has not issued detailed public statements explaining his reasoning beyond the personal context. Following his HIV-positive disclosure on November 17, 2015, Sheen initially positioned himself as an advocate for awareness and testing, contributing to a documented surge in HIV-related Google searches and testing inquiries known as the "Charlie Sheen effect." However, his subsequent health decisions drew sharp critiques from AIDS activists and medical experts. In early 2016, Sheen discontinued his antiretroviral therapy (ART), which had maintained an undetectable viral load, to pursue unproven "alternative" treatments aimed at a cure, including consultations with non-standard practitioners. His viral load subsequently rose, prompting a return to ART after the failure of these methods. Critics, including HIV advocates, condemned Sheen's actions as irresponsible, arguing they undermined trust in evidence-based treatments and risked public health by endorsing pseudoscientific approaches over clinically validated ART, which suppresses the virus and prevents transmission. One activist described it as "spitting in the face" of those who developed life-extending therapies, emphasizing that such deviations could mislead others into forgoing proven care. Sheen later joined a clinical trial for PRO 140, an experimental monoclonal antibody injection, achieving viral suppression again by late 2016, but the episode highlighted tensions between personal experimentation and adherence to established medical protocols. These choices reflect a pattern of skepticism toward conventional medical interventions, consistent with his vaccine views, though they contrast with the empirical success of standard HIV management in extending life expectancy.

Charitable Work and Awareness Campaigns

During the peak of his career in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Sheen anonymously donated an estimated $26 million to $30 million to various charities, including organizations focused on autism awareness, cancer research, and support for the homeless. These contributions occurred amid his high earnings from Two and a Half Men, prior to his publicized personal and financial challenges. In 2011, during his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour, Sheen made spontaneous onstage donations to causes such as the Organization for Bipolar Affective Disorder and the Brian Stow Fund, which aided the family of a San Francisco Giants fan severely beaten at Dodger Stadium. He also pledged all merchandising sales from an April 30 performance in San Francisco to the Stow fund and donated $50,000 to the Cincinnati Reds Community Fund, reflecting his support for baseball-related initiatives. Sheen has supported additional nonprofits, including Aid For AIDS, Chrysalis (a job-training program for the homeless), and DineLA (a restaurant fundraiser for hunger relief). Following his November 2015 public disclosure of living with HIV, Sheen contributed to awareness efforts, with studies documenting a "Charlie Sheen effect" that spiked online searches for HIV testing and prevention by millions, equivalent in impact to seven World AIDS Days. News coverage of HIV surged 265% on the day of his announcement, correlating with heightened public engagement. In 2020, he participated in World AIDS Day events, disclosing participation in a clinical trial where an injection fully suppressed his viral load, and endorsed the Prevention Access Campaign's messaging on undetectable HIV transmission risk.

Legacy and Assessment

Career Achievements and Awards

Sheen's early film roles included a breakout performance as Private Chris Taylor in Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986), which depicted the Vietnam War and earned the Academy Award for Best Picture. The film grossed over $138 million worldwide against a $6 million budget, contributing to Stone's recognition for Best Director. He followed with the role of Bud Fox in Wall Street (1987), portraying an ambitious stockbroker mentored by Gordon Gekko, which solidified his status in dramatic cinema. In television, Sheen replaced Michael J. Fox as Charlie Crawford on Spin City (1998–2002), for which he received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy in 2002. His portrayal in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men (2003–2011) as Charlie Harper, a hedonistic jingle writer, spanned eight seasons and attracted an average of 14.5 million viewers per episode during its peak, making it one of the highest-rated comedies on network television. By 2010, Sheen became the highest-paid actor on television, earning $1.8 million per episode. Sheen garnered four consecutive Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Two and a Half Men in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, though he did not win. Additional Golden Globe nominations came in 2005 and 2006 for the same role. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1998 for his contributions to television. Other film successes included comedic leads in Major League (1989), which grossed $49.8 million domestically, and the parody Hot Shots! (1991), earning $89.8 million in North America.

Cultural Impact and Criticisms

![Marquee for Charlie Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour at Radio City Music Hall][float-right]
Charlie Sheen's 2011 public meltdown, characterized by erratic interviews featuring phrases such as "winning," "tiger blood," and "bi-winning," permeated popular culture, spawning memes, parodies, and widespread media coverage. These utterances, delivered amid admissions of substance abuse and defiance toward his employers, were replayed extensively on television and online, influencing linguistic trends and public discourse on celebrity excess. Sheen later attributed the episode partly to excessive testosterone use, expressing regret over the period's intensity. The subsequent "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" tour, launched in April 2011, exemplified this cultural moment, drawing large crowds driven by curiosity despite inconsistent performances. Initial shows, such as the Detroit opener on April 2, 2011, faced booing and early conclusions amid audience heckling, while later stops like Chicago received milder responses. Critics viewed the tour as a commercialization of Sheen's instability, highlighting the spectacle's blend of scripted elements and improvisation, yet it underscored public fascination with his persona. Sheen's November 17, 2015, disclosure of his HIV-positive status since 2011 generated the "Sheen effect," spurring unprecedented public interest in HIV information. Google searches for HIV-related terms surged 417% above baseline on the announcement day, marking the highest recorded volume in the U.S., alongside increases in condom searches and news coverage. This empirically boosted awareness, though subsequent claims by Sheen of curing his condition via alternative remedies drew medical skepticism for downplaying standard treatments. Criticisms of Sheen's cultural footprint center on the media's role in amplifying his substance-fueled antics, potentially enabling denial and glorifying dysfunction without sufficient emphasis on consequences. A 2025 Netflix documentary, AKA Charlie Sheen, faced rebuke for its perceived leniency toward his decades of addiction and relational harms, lacking contrition from the subject. Detractors argue his narrative perpetuated a "consequence-free" celebrity archetype, prioritizing spectacle over accountability, though Sheen achieved sobriety around 2017 and has reflected on the personal toll.

Balanced Reception Across Viewpoints

Charlie Sheen's public persona has elicited polarized responses, with mainstream entertainment critics frequently portraying him as a symbol of unchecked celebrity excess and personal irresponsibility, particularly following his 2011 public meltdown involving drug-fueled rants about "winning" and "tiger blood." These episodes, which included attacks on Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre and led to his firing from the show on March 7, 2011, were widely condemned in outlets like The New York Times for promoting obscenity and aggression, contributing to the flop of his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour that same year, where attendance in Detroit fell short of expectations. Progressive-leaning media, such as The Guardian, have critiqued his recent Netflix documentary AKA Charlie Sheen (released September 10, 2025) for lacking genuine remorse over decades of addiction to cocaine, alcohol, and other substances, framing it as a salacious self-portrait that burnishes his legend without sufficient contrition. This perspective aligns with broader institutional narratives in Hollywood and academia-influenced commentary, which often emphasize Sheen's toxicity and failure to fully atone, potentially overlooking comparable behaviors among other industry figures due to selective scrutiny. In contrast, some independent and conservative-leaning commentators have highlighted Sheen's resilience and candor, viewing his unfiltered outbursts as a rare pushback against sanitized celebrity culture. In a September 27, 2025, interview with Tucker Carlson, Sheen reflected on his sobriety and life satisfaction post-meltdown, receiving praise from Carlson as a talented figure with enduring "life force" despite past "craziness," marking one of the few positive reassessments of his 2011 Alex Jones radio appearance. User reviews of AKA Charlie Sheen on platforms like IMDb echo this, describing it as "honest and gripping" without "fluffy" apologies, appreciating its raw depiction of self-destruction over performative redemption arcs. Sheen's identification as a "constitutional Republican" in 2015 and occasional endorsements of figures like Donald Trump in 2016 have resonated in right-leaning circles, where his rejection of programs like Alcoholics Anonymous—claiming self-cure from addiction—is seen as individual empowerment rather than recklessness. Sheen's 2015 HIV disclosure further divides viewpoints: while health advocates credited it with boosting awareness and safe sex discussions—he partnered with LELO HEX condoms in 2016—critics in tabloid and activist spaces accused him of non-disclosure to partners, fueling stigma and lawsuits that underscored perceived irresponsibility. Mainstream reactions from celebrities were mostly supportive, yet underlying tensions revealed biases, as outlets like Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center publications noted persistent societal prejudice against HIV patients, often amplified by Sheen's prior promiscuity rather than the virus itself. Conservative and libertarian perspectives, however, have framed his survival and advocacy as triumphant individualism amid medical overreach, especially given his later vaccine skepticism, contrasting with left-leaning dismissals of his health narrative as enabling denialism. Overall, this reception reflects deeper cultural fault lines: elite media prioritizing moral conformity over empirical recovery metrics, while alternative voices value Sheen's unapologetic navigation of fame's causal pitfalls—drugs, denial, and disclosure—as a gritty case study in personal agency.
