Everything about Charlie Sheen totally explained

Charles Irwin Sheen (born September 3, 1965) is a Golden Globe Award-winning and Emmy-nominated American actor. He is perhaps best known for his roles as Chris Taylor in the Vietnam War drama Platoon, Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn in Major League, Charlie Crawford in the ABC sitcom Spin City and Charlie Harper in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.

Biography

Early life

Sheen was born Carlos Irwin Estévez in New York City, son of artist Janet (née Templeton) and actor Martin Sheen (who was born "Ramón Estévez"). His parents moved to Malibu, California after Martin Sheen's Broadway turn in The Subject Was Roses. Sheen has two brothers and one sister, all of whom are actors: Emilio Estévez, Ramón Estévez Jr. and Renée Estévez.

Career

Sheen started acting in 1974 at the age of nine, appearing in a small role alongside his father in the TV movie The Execution of Private Slovik. Sheen has been playing the role of Charlie Harper on the sitcom Two and a Half Men, which debuted in 2003. In the Empire magazine interview, he stated that he took a bullet for the industry when he was called into court to "name names."
   In 1995, Sheen married Donna Peele. The marriage lasted a little more than a year--September 3, 1995 to November 19, 1996. In 1996, Sheen announced that he'd become a born-again Christian.
   Although Sheen was involved with a number of Hollywood personalities, his long-term relationship with Ginger Lynn in the late 1990s garnered the most media attention. He was also involved for a time with former porn star Heather Hunter. On June 15, 2002, he married actress Denise Richards after meeting her while filming Good Advice in 2001. They have two daughters, Sam J. Sheen (born March 9, 2004) and Lola Rose Sheen (born June 1, 2005). On April 19, 2006, Denise Richards filed for divorce from Sheen. Sheen and Richards's divorce was official on November 30, 2006.
   Sheen and Richards are engaged in an acrimonious custody dispute over their two daughters, with Richards requesting a custody evaluation, no overnight visits for Sheen, and authority to make decisions regarding the care of the children. Richards alleges abusive behavior by Sheen toward her and staff, paranoid behavior regarding the care of the children, and that he continues to have gambling and drug addictions. Sheen denies these allegations and further alleges that Richards later requested sperm from him in order to have another child. Richards also cited Sheen's beliefs about 9/11 in the divorce proceedings.
   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 due to breast cancer, and he wanted to try to help find a cure for the disease.
   As of 2007, Sheen is engaged to Brooke Mueller, a real estate investor. Jason Itzler, owner of the escort service NY Confidential, claimed in March of 2008 that Sheen paid $20,000 for the services of two prostitutes, one of which was Ashley Dupre, of Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal fame. Sheen denied the allegations.

9/11 Truth Movement involvement

On March 20, 2006, Sheen revealed during an Alex Jones interview that he questions the official story concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks. Sheen stated during the interview, "...it just didn't look like any commercial jetliner I've flown on any time in my life and then when the buildings came down later on that day I said to my brother, 'Call me insane, but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition?'" During a March 22, 2006 appearance on CNN's Showbiz Tonight, Sheen stated "...19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 percent of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory". On October 27 2007, his views on 9/11 were echoed by his father Martin Sheen.

"Living Legend of Sex"

In a 1997 Empire magazine interview, Sheen was asked what was the largest number of people Sheen had sex with at any one time. He replied: "...five girls at once. It was a pile-up...and it wasn't so much about going Caligula, it was very organized. Very ordered...all six people in that room came out of it pretty satisfied". Sheen was listed as #2 on Maxim's "Top 10 Living Legends of Sex", citing an alleged 5,000 women that he's slept with.
