People<\/a>\u00a0Cryer was the \u201conly person\u201d he didn\u2019t approach personally to be interviewed.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd the only reason I didn\u2019t call him was because I didn\u2019t have the right number for him, so the director reached out to him,\u201d Sheen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when I saw everything that Jon spoke about [in the documentary], so honestly and very compassionately, I wrote to him and I said, \u2018Hey, thank you for your contributions, and I\u2019m sorry we didn\u2019t connect personally. I hope to see you around the campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheen didn\u2019t hear back, but suspected it was because he still had the wrong phone number for Cryer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not like Jon did not respond. He\u2019s super responsible like that. So if you\u2019re reading this, Jon, DM me your new number,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Last year, Cryer, 60, said he and Sheen hadn\u2019t spoken in years after their hit sitcom unraveled amid Sheen\u2019s substance abuse. Getty Images<\/p>\n
Sheen, who is now eight years sober, conceded he understood why Cryer has struggled to reconcile their relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was in the line of fire with all that stupid s\u2013t going on, and it was affecting him and his family and his career and all that,\u201d Sheen continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t debate anything that he said [in the doc].\u201d<\/p>\n
The upcoming two-part Netflix series, which hits streaming September 10, features a slew of big names from Sheen\u2019s personal and professional life, including ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, actor Sean Penn and\u00a0\u201cTwo and a Half Men\u201d\u00a0creator Chuck Lorre.<\/p>\n

Sheen and Lorre also had a decade-long feud, falling out when the actor disgraced his then-boss in a series of interviews which ultimately led to his sacking. <\/p>\n
The pair have since reconciled, and even worked together on the 2023 drama\u00a0\u201cBookie,\u201d in which Sheen had a cameo as himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a wonderful relationship for over eight years on\u00a0\u201cTwo and a Half Men.\u201d And then things happened,\u201d Lorre said to People in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so to find our way back to having that friendship again, and I\u2019m a big admirer of his work, I always have been. It\u2019s never been about the work. The work is impeccable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indeed, Sheen brutally, and very publicly, hit out at Lorre ahead of his firing.<\/p>\n
Among the flurry of sprays, Sheen told TMZ in February 2011 he \u201cviolently hated\u201d the showrunner, dubbing him \u201ca stupid, stupid little man\u201d before proceeding to challenge him to a fight.<\/p>\n
Warner Bros. and CBS acted swiftly, shutting down production for the remainder of the eighth season as Sheen entered rehab.<\/p>\n
Sheen\u2019s contract was ripped up the following month and his character was killed off.<\/p>\n
