Charlie Sheen has had a roller coaster of a career. The American actor was one of the most loved actors in the industry back in the day. However, destiny had different plans in store for him. Sheen’s downfall first started in 2011 when he was fired from the fan-favorite show of the time, Two and a Half men. According to sources, Sheen saw the peak of his professional career during his run in Two and a Half men. Since his departure, the American actor has been involved in a lot of controversies. He has even been accused of domestic violence and drug abuse on a number of occasions.
Charlie Sheen has not held back against his former co-star, Jon Cryer for not having his back throughout the whole drama in 2011. Sheen even called Cryer a traitor and a turncoat. However, in an interview from 2019, Jon Cryer revealed that he was also sad about Sheen’s departure from the show.
