The best and worst of Charlie Sheen

After Angus T. Jones' recent outburst about the hit show Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen has said that the show is cursed. Not that it would be like Charlie to be controversial.

The 47 year-old actor has been married three times, has five children and to say he has led a colourful life is a mild understatement. We have omitted a lot of excellent material, but that has to be the case as we pick five of Charlie’s most outlandish moments.

Getting fired from Two and a Half Men

Where else to start? Two and a Half Men was all about Charlie Sheen. He kept his first name for the show, he retained his personality and fondness for women and drink and viewers lapped it up. He became the richest man in television history and then he lost it all.

He was dismissed from the show and if that wasn’t bad enough, Ashton Kutcher was chosen as the man to replace him. Needless to say this did not go down well with Sheen and some bizarre comments followed.

Recovering in the arms of two women

At the time of his dismissal in March 2011 the actor sought comfort in the arms of two women. He was at the time living every man’s fantasy as he was living with porn actress Rachel Oberlin and model and graphic designer Natalie Kenly, whom he nicknamed the 'goddesses'.

It wasn’t to last long however as Oberlin left him two months later while Kenly held out until June of that year. He really has had a hard life.

Being told by Slash to clean up his act

You know that when Slash tells you to clean up your act then things are bad. Very bad. The rocker was told in 2001 that due to his many years of alcohol and drug abuse that he had between six days and six weeks to live.

He came through and cleaned up his act, and advised the Two and a Half Men star to do likewise during this television interview a few years ago.

Sheen calls for truth on 9/11 attacks

The actor has always been highly sceptical of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has said that the collapse of the World Trade Centre towers looked like a ‘controlled demolition’.

He has questioned the government’s accounts of the attacks and has called on President Barack Obama to address the issues of the day. This video was released in 2009 and shows his determination to advance the 9/11 Truth Movement.

Charlie Sheen roast breaks all records

Before you put Charlie Sheen and roast together and imagine a spectacular orgy, this is in reference to the piss-take on Comedy Central, or roast as the Yanks like to call it. These comedy sketches are a big deal stateside and anyone who is anyone is parodied at some stage.

Sheen had his turn last September and he broke all previous viewing records as 6.4 million tuned in to watch.
