What happens when you place three famously combustible personalities in the same movie? It\u2019s either going to be fireworks, fury, or greatness. In the case of one Charlie Sheen<\/a> film, it was all three, with one co-star left fuming at not only his behaviour, but that of the director, too.<\/p>\n The second-generation star enjoyed the excesses that came with Hollywood success, and when he emerged as one of the industry\u2019s brightest young talents in the 1980s, he was quickly seduced by the lure of booze, drugs, sex, and women that came with the territory of being an A-lister-in-waiting.<\/p>\n Sheen never quite reached the heights that were being predicted during his breakout years, and his well-publicised personal troubles had a lot to do with it. It wasn\u2019t until the mid-1990s that he started sliding down the career ladder, although his reputation was already preceding him<\/a> by that point.<\/p>\n Having already played the lead role in an awards-baiting Oliver Stone movie, lightning would strike twice when he reunited with the director for Wall Street. While it was nowhere near as successful as the \u2018Best Picture\u2019 and \u2018Best Director\u2019-winning Platoon, with the film\u2019s only Academy Award nomination being won by Michael Douglas, it became an era-defining picture thanks to its \u2018greed is good\u2019 mantra.<\/p>\n That wasn\u2019t necessarily a good thing, though, and it wasn\u2019t the easiest movie to make, either. Stone has always been open in his fondness for marijuana and LSD, while Sheen was always more of a cocaine kind of guy. In later years, Sean Young would reveal that she\u2019d been struggling with alcoholism for years, making the Wall Street set an accident waiting to happen.<\/p>\n Young had been tarred with the dreaded \u2018difficult\u2019 brush, but from the sound of things, she didn\u2019t do anything to warrant the treatment she received during production. In addition to calling Stone \u201ca bastard,\u201d she didn\u2019t have many kind words to say about Sheen: \u201cCharlie was on a lot of coke on that show,\u201d she told The Daily Beast<\/a>. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what coke does to you.\u201d<\/p>\n One incident saw the actor tape a piece of paper to her back with the word \u2018cunt\u2019 written on it, which she didn\u2019t even find out about until the following day. \u201cMichael tore it off without me knowing what it said,\u201d she explained. \u201cI spoke with Charlie the next day and said, \u2018Your dad was a pro. Writing \u2018cunt\u2019 on a piece of tape and sticking it to my back? Not pro. It\u2019s just stupid. What are you doing?’\u201d<\/p>\n It was a film of seriously mixed emotions for Young, who\u2019d originally lobbied for Darryl Hannah\u2019s part. According to her, Stone then minimised her role in Wall Street while it was shooting as the friction between them increased, which culminated in her being fired on the spot and then having a driver drop her off at a bus stop to get rid of her.<\/p>\n How does she feel about it now? \u201cMichael Douglas was wonderful, but Oliver and Charlie were awful,\u201d she said, encapsulating the two sides of her experience.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Related Topics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credits: Far Out \/ YouTube Still) Sat 20 December 2025 18:15, UK What happens when you place three…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,29975,75,84733,154768],"class_list":{"0":"post-358882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-charlie-sheen","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-oliver-stone","14":"tag-sean-young"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
