The son of actor Martin Sheen, Sheen shot to fame in the 80s, quickly progressing from small roles in his father\u2019s projects to his own bonafide hits Platoon and Wall Street.<\/p>\n
He had already become a tabloid favourite when he hit his second career peak on sitcom Two and A Half Men.<\/p>\n
According to the Daily Mail, he was fired from the show in 2011 after a series of drug induced breakdowns. <\/p>\n
Adams asked if it was true he was smoking 7g \u201crocks\u201d of crack cocaine at the peak of his addiction.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, we never took one out and put it on a scale\u201d, the star joked, \u201cbut that was the amount that was cooked to get it into that form\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember the Jaws moment: we\u2019re gonna need a bigger pipe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now 60, Sheen has been sober since 2017 and is focused on repairing his relationships with his five children. <\/p>\n
In his upcoming memoir The Book of Sheen, he credits daughter Sami for inspiring him to get sober, Page Six reports.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the interview, Sheen discussed his recent admission he has had sex with men, telling Adams the revelations were partly informed by extortion demands.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not what led the charge. That\u2019s more of an off-label benefit to making that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheen said it was a \u201ctremendous relief\u201d to be open about the times he had \u201cflipped the menu over\u201d – his euphemism for his experimentation with gay sex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The son of actor Martin Sheen, Sheen shot to fame in the 80s, quickly progressing from small roles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[17517,8843,34599,15308,2562,20926,12471,156,16718,34598,9097,111,139,69,6029,423,34600,312,13311,19763,8229,61],"class_list":["post-37629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-because","tag-believed","tag-cartel","tag-charlie","tag-claims","tag-cocaine","tag-dealing","tag-entertainment","tag-him","tag-mexican","tag-must","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-once","tag-point","tag-refused","tag-says","tag-sell","tag-sheen","tag-they","tag-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
