These days, Jon Cryer has somewhat of a winning relationship with his Two and a Half Men co-star Charlie Sheen.

Fourteen years after Sheen was fired from the beloved sitcom following severe addiction struggles, Cryer partook in the Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen.

“It was interesting,” the Pretty in Pink star mused about the September project while on The View on Friday.

“I had a lot of mixed feelings about being a part of that because obviously he’s a very complicated guy and we had a complicated relationship. But mostly I realised that I wasn’t mad at him anymore: I was still kind of mad at America.”

Sheen and Cryer starred on Two and a Half Men for eight seasons from 2003 to 2011.

At the time of the Wall Street star’s firing, Sheen suffered a series of public meltdowns and clashed with the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre.

Sheen also accused Cryer of being a “turncoat, a traitor, a troll” for not reaching out to him during his drug battle.

Ashton Kutcher replaced Sheen for the show’s final four seasons. The series ended in 2015.

However, Cryer now realises that the public took pleasure when Sheen “went off the rails and went crazy”.

“I knew him as a friend, as a co-worker, so it was really painful to see all that and see that craziness and see a lot of people enjoying it,” he continued while on the morning talk show. “So that’s part of why I kind of wanted to, obviously, say my side of the story.”

Cryer said that the documentary featured people sharing “a lot of very truthful, tough things about Charlie”.

“And I thought, ‘Well okay, if the time is to be honest, let’s be honest’,” he recalled, adding that the project showed “a lot of who he is”.

The documentary aka Charlie Sheen detailed the Hollywood icon’s career, romances and his infamous addiction struggles.

“He did text me afterwards at one point to say ‘Thanks for doing it’,” Cryer said.

The actor also said he would be open to continuing to repair his relationship with Sheen.

“Yeah, I would,” Cyrer shared. “It’s funny because every now and then an article comes out that we’re arguing, and it’s just not the case.”

In the documentary, the Broadway performer opened up about not earning nearly as much as Sheen did while on the show.

Sheen made close to two million dollars an episode during his final year on the sitcom.

Cryer was only earning about $US550,000 ($763,000) per episode at that time. Once Sheen departed, however, Cyrer began earning $US620,000 ($860,000) an episode.

Cryer claimed that Sheen’s contract negotiations “went off the charts because his life was falling apart”.

“The dictator of North Korea was a guy named Kim Jong-il,” he explained. “He acted crazy all the time and thus got enormous amounts of aid from countries who were so scared of him that they would shovel money at him.

“Well, that’s what happened here. [Sheen’s] negotiations went off the charts because his life was falling apart. Me, whose life was pretty good at that time, I got a third of that.”

Meanwhile, last month, Sheen praised his on-screen brother for joining in on aka Charlie Sheen.

“It was very sweet, very cool that everybody showed up like they did, because they could have easily said, ‘Go f**k yourself. I’m not interested. I lived it. I don’t need to talk about it again’,” the star told People at the time. “And I would have been, ‘OK, that’s fine.’ But they didn’t, and they stepped up.”

As for if the pair have further connected, Sheen admitted, “I don’t like to bother people. But I think Jon would be open to that. Jon’s a lovely man and a very talented guy.”
