Charlie Sheen: Sexual Encounters With Men Started Amid Crack Use: ‘So What? Some of It Was Weird. A Lot of It Was F—ing Fun
Charlie Sheen discussing for the first time his sexual encounters with men.
In his upcoming memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” and the Netflix documentary series, “aka Charlie Sheen,” the actor says “I flipped the menu” when discussing his past sexual experiences with other men.
He expanded on the topic by telling People: “I’m not going to run from my past, or let it own me.”
In the documentary, Sheen say it’s “liberating” to finally talk publicly about having sex with men. He adds: “It’s fucking liberating… [to] just talk about stuff. It’s like a train didn’t come through the side of the restaurant. A fucking piano didn’t fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me.”
That’s what started it,” Sheen said. “That’s where it was born, or sparked. And in whatever chunks of time that I was off the pipe, trying to navigate that, trying to come to terms with it — ‘Where did that come from?… Why did that happen?’ — and then just finally being like, ‘So what?’ So what? Some of it was weird. A lot of it was fucking fun. And life goes on.”
Sheen has been promoting his memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” and Netflix docuentary, “aka Charlie Sheen.”
He said that his former drug dealer, Marco, helped save his life by substituting baking soda in for various substances in order to wane Sheen off narcotics.
“It’s kind of the moon landing of a solution inside of that insanity. It just made sense to give that a shot,” Sheen said.
