Winning? Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre faced a series of ups and downs after the actor’s substance abuse issues began affecting his work on Two and a Half Men.
Sheen portrayed Charlie Harper on the CBS series from 2003 to 2011, when he was fired after making a series of controversial statements about Lorre, the show’s creator.
The Wall Street actor’s exit came two months after he was ordered to go to rehab in January 2011 and deal with his alleged drug and alcohol issues. Sheen claimed in February 2011 that he was clean and sober during an interview with the Today show.
“I’ve always had a plan and executed it perfectly. Sometimes I overshoot the mark, whatever,” Sheen said of his abilities to remain professional despite his personal struggles. He then boasted that having “tiger blood” and “Adonis blood” helped him keep his addictions in check.
The Young Guns star proceeded to raise eyebrows when he made negative remarks about Lorre and the show amid its brief hiatus — which was issued in January 2011 so Sheen could get medical assistance.
“My passion is misinterpreted as anger … I don’t think people are ready for the message I’m delivering and delivering with a sense of violent love,” the Platoon actor explained on Today, claiming that Lorre had “dictatorial laziness” on set.
Sheen continued his rant: “If people think I’m insane or if they don’t think what I’m saying is true, I have no interest in their retarded opinions. I’m going to live my life the way I want and I’m going to win every moment!”
