Mr Charlie Sheen
Yeah, I know this is normally Famous People who are Idiots. But I don’t think this guy is an idiot. Eccentric, maybe. But no idiot.
This is old news by now, but something tells me we haven’t heard the last from Charlie Sheen. Last year was a big year for the old Sheenster as he went into rehab, fired his PR person, issued a series of bizarre comments on Twitter and live on television and as a result lost his contract on TV show Two and a Half Men. He was apparently the world’s best paid TV star up until then, but his dismissal doesn’t seem to have slowed him down. He’s producing new TV projects, new brands, he’s had a sold-out tour, he’s massive on Twitter...
I am on a drug, it’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.
Charlie Sheen’s always been a bit of a wild card (word is he was living with two lady friends until recently!) but let’s talk about those off the wall statements he made last year. Whilst they might’ve lost him Two and a Half Men (Ashton Kutcher took over the role) I think his uncensored streams of consciousness have only improved his career. Sure, he was getting paid a mint on the show, but now he’s way more visible, with millions of fans on Twitter. And if these are things that Charlie Sheen wants to say, then, heck, let’s hear them instead of a tailored version filtered through his management. If he made them because he was ill or going through rehab, then we shouldn’t shy away from listening because of that. The right people listening would get him the help he needed.
And actually, who isn’t "addicted to winning"? or wanted to say "I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin'rockstar from Mars"on occasion? Sure, Charlie Sheen’s got a bigger audience than most of us when he says these things, but I would love to say that last one to Janet in accounts when all she wants to moan about is the red diesel scotland invoice! In fact, I’d love to have that one printed up on a t-shirt...
I’m different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man.
