Charlie Sheen has claimed that Bill Clinton once attempted to make a pass at his girlfriend in the ’80s.
In his new memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” the actor, 60, alleged that the former president tried to shoot his shot with his then-girlfriend, Dolly Fox, when he was filming 1987’s “Three for the Road” in Arkansas, according to multiple outlets.
The Golden Globe winner said that the alleged ordeal took place after Clinton, who was governor of Arkansas at the time and had been married to his wife Hillary Clinton since 1975, invited him and his co-stars Alan Ruck and Kerri Green to his home to do a photo op.
Calling the invitation “pretty surreal,” Sheen wrote that he invited Fox to tag along.
The “Wall Street” star said something unexpected happened next after Clinton apparently took interest in Fox, with Ruck telling Sheen that he allegedly witnessed Clinton discreetly trying to get information about Fox from his aides.
“I was answering a reporter’s question when Ruck overheard Clinton whisper to one of his aides, ‘Find out what you can about the brunette,’” Sheen recalled. “The brunette was Dolly.”
“And to this day, Alan swears it was an exact quote. Clearly the behavior that transformed an intern a few years later into a household name had been in play long before her blue dress became famous,” Sheen wrote, referring to Clinton’s infamous affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Sheen added, “It was quite the moment in time to be ringside for that slice of creepy history.”
Despite feeling “bad for Dolly to be objectified and skeeved-out like that,” Sheen said he “still had to take some pride in ‘Bubba’ fancying my gal,” referring to Clinton’s nickname.
“Alan gave Dolly the rundown in the bar later on that same night. To her credit, she laughed and was actually flattered,” he added of the alleged incident.
Reps for Sheen and Clinton didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.

Elsewhere in his memoir, Sheen recalled being determined to publicly share the story one day after no one believed his account when he was in rehab during Clinton’s 1999 impeachment hearing, which stemmed from charges about the Lewinsky scandal.
“I was still pretty faded on detox meds and [none of my fellow patients] believed me,” Sheen wrote in the book released last week. “I literally said out loud to the group huddled around the TV, ‘It’s kool, I’ll put it in a book one day and you can all go fuck yourselves.’ (And here we are).”
