Charlie Sheen has revealed the one drug that he has never done because he didn’t think he would ‘look good’ on it.
The Two and a Half Men star has led an eventful life (to say the least) and is now set to tell his story in a book and Netflix documentary.
That story is littered with celebrity tales, misdemeanors, and - of course - Sheen’s prolific drug use.
Charlie Sheen has led an interesting life by any standards.
Sheen, the son of Hollywood superstar Michael Sheen, has lived much of his life in the public eye, and that trend has continued with his family.
From earning millions making TV shows with - then falling out of touch with - Jon Cryer, to being diagnosed with HIV, there isn’t much of Sheen’s life that has been private.
His daughter’s move into the OnlyFans world has been one of the latest stories to hit the news about the Sheen family.
So, given all of that, he’s decided that it is time to tell his own side of events.
Nowadays, Sheen lives a much more laid-back and sober life than during the height of his fame, when he was performing stunts such as bringing a prostitute to Thanksgiving dinner.
However, even during those days there was one drug that he simply wouldn’t touch.
It’s one that was involved in the death of fellow Hollywood TV legend - and Charlie’s friend - Friends star Matthew Perry.
We’re talking about ketamine.
Speaking to Page Six, Sheen revealed: “I never did it,
“I knew a couple people that did and so I would see them on it. It just wasn’t a color I knew I would look good in.”
Charlie Sheen and Matthew Perry shared a strong bond
Discussing his friend Perry’s death, he added: “Matt and I shared a deeper truth we saw in each other — we were both, as Bobby Dee Jay used to say, ‘veterans of the unspeakable,’
“We had that common ground instantly with each other.”
Bobby Dee Jay, in case you are wondering, is Sheen’s nickname for Robert Downey Jr. - a friend who has had his own battles to face on that front.
On his own drug use, Sheen explained how he would form relationships with his dealers, but also had to do sub-standard films sometimes to keep the pipeline open.
He said: “I was always pretty good friends with my dealers,
“I know that’s funny. When you let him hang out, when you let him stay for the party, you usually get a better rate on the dope — but there is a connection because I was only doing those s***ty films to keep funding the habits.”
Now though, Sheen sounds in a better place and is ready to tell his version of events.
