Actor Charlie Sheen rose to stardom on Two and a Half Men but was fired from the sitcom in 2011. However, Charlie has his regrets and has admitted that the firing from the show due to his public struggles with drug addiction is a dark spot in his memory.
In a recent interview with People, Charlie admitted, “I regret that specifically still. If I hadn't done what I had, I could be living a different life right now. All my problems wouldn't be what they are. But you just don't know that.”
Charlie began his sobriety journey after leaving the sitcom and has since worked to address the damage his addiction caused.
He elaborated, “Forgiveness is still an evolving thing. I still get what I call the ‘shame shivers.’ These are the moments that hit me, of the heinous memories and choices and consequences. They’re getting farther in between, so I guess that’s progress.”
He recalled, “What has been interesting about making amends is that most people have been like, ‘Hey yeah, we’re good man, but we hope you’ve also forgiven yourself.’”
The actor further suggested that he has spent most of his 50s apologising to the people he had hurt.
While talking about his upcoming book, Charlie noted, “I also didn’t want to write from the place of being a victim. I wasn’t, and I own everything I did. It’s just me, finally telling the stories in the way they actually happened. The stories I can remember, anyway.”
