"Don't wish your days away."
How Charlie Sheen is still alive is a mystery to many 🤯. The torture that he's put his body through is mind-blowing. Yet here he is, still here and ready to tell his story.
When I saw his memoir was out as an audiobook 🎧, I reserved it from Libby (there was a long wait ⏳), and settled down to listen to the man himself tell me about how in fact, he was still alive!
Charlie Sheen has been in the background of my life forever I think, but I really started to notice him when he was in Two and a Half Men, a sitcom that I loved 📺. But he starts his book way before that point.
The book was really sobering (pardon the pun), 🍸🚫 and I found it incredibly interesting. Charlie doesn't pull any punches, he knows he was a total a**h**e, he knows he has no right to still be with us and he doesn't blame anyone but himself. As he finally approaches sobriety, he tells us about it with positivity and hope, and as he writes, he's eight years sober. 🎉 Considering the life he's led, this is a huge achievement and let's hope it continues for his sake and his kids. ❤️
If, like me, you love the sound of Charlie's voice, then get this on audiobook 🎧 and enjoy his silver-toned voice telling his story in his own inimitable way.
For the first time, Charlie Sheen, the star of Platoon, Wall Street, Major League, and Two and a Half Men, writes the story of his extraordinary life in an unfiltered memoir.
“We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former.”
Charlie Sheen should not be alive to write this book.
But in The Book of Sheen, the movie and TV star, who has defied the odds, finally presents his story, in his own words.
Charlie Sheen was born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet. He grew up on film sets—from his father’s all over the world, to his own in Malibu. There he made ambitious Super 8s, with a roster of friends who went on to become household names themselves, including his brother Emilio, Sean and Chris Penn, and the Lowe brothers.
Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a young soldier in Platoon, and an ethically compromised trader in Wall Street. But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in Spin City and Two and a Half Men, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities.
Now sober, Sheen delivers a clear-eyed narrative of his highs and lows with humor, candor, and a vivid, captivating writing style that is uniquely his. The Book of Sheen reads like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life—yet it is all true.
