Charlie Sheen has shared a heartfelt appeal to his former co-star, Jon Cryer, as he bared all in a new interview.
Sheen and Cryer, both 60, starred as Charlie and Alan Harper in the sitcom Two and a Half Men from 2003 until 2011.
The pair's chemistry led the show to become one of the most popular sitcoms of its time around the world.
However, Sheen was infamously fired from the role after he made disparaging remarks about the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, amid a period of increasingly erratic behavior.
The actor's rise and fall is set to be explored in his new Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, and will also feature Cryer, along with Lorre, Sheen’s ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, his longtime friend Sean Penn, and several family members.
Sheen admitted in a new interview with People: "The only person I didn’t call personally to participate in the doc was Jon.
"And the only reason I didn’t call him was because I didn’t have the right number for him, so the director reached out to him.
"But when I saw everything that Jon spoke about, so honestly and very compassionately, I wrote to him and I said, ‘Hey, thank you for your contributions, and I’m sorry we didn't connect personally. I hope to see you around the campus.'"
Sheen admitted that he hasn't received a response from Cryer, but believes he may not have an up-to-date number for him.
He explained: "I’m thinking I wrote to the wrong number. It’s not like Jon did not respond. He’s super responsible like that. So if you’re reading this, Jon, DM me your new number!"
After Sheen was fired from the show, Two and a Half Men continued with Ashton Kutcher stepping in as the co-lead alongside Cryer for three more seasons.
Sheen addressed that time, and Cryer's comments about it in the documentary, explaining: "It was really cool to hear from his perspective.
"He was in the line of fire with all that stupid s**t going on, and it was affecting him and his family and his career and all that. I can’t debate anything that he said."
Sheen also shared his surprise at Cryer’s take on his struggles with addiction and where they stemmed from, explaining: "He said, ‘He’s a guy that doesn't believe he deserves the things he has, or that it was he earned,’ and I was like, ‘Whoa.'
"He nailed that, and I’m so glad he opened that door, because it gave me a chance to really start thinking about that.
"Suddenly, I felt like I was on a couch in Jon’s therapy office, and he was dead on. That was really insightful of Jon, really, and compassionate."
Cryer also previously addressed the possibility of a Two and a Half Men reboot, saying on The View last year: "Oh gosh, I don’t know how that happens.
"Thing is, Charlie is doing a lot better now, which is wonderful. He and I have not spoken in a few years, but he’s doing a lot better, which obviously I am happy about.
"The thing for me is, when Two and a Half Men was happening, Charlie was like the highest-paid actor in television – probably ever. And there has been nobody that has surpassed the enormous amount of money he was making.
"And yet he blew it up. So you kinda have to think, I love him, I wish him the best and that he should live in good health the rest of his life, but I don’t know if I want to get in business with him for any length of time."
At the time he was fired, Sheen was reportedly earning around $1.8 million per episode, making him the highest-paid actor on television at the time.
The show ran for over 20 episodes a season, meaning Sheen was making over $30 million annually, and while Cryer's salary was significantly less, he was still in the highest tier of sitcom salaries.
aka Charlie Sheen will begin streaming on Netflix on September 10.
