Charlie Sheen's Eight-Year Celibacy: From Playboy to Peace
EXCLUSIVE
Charlie Sheen Spills the Tea on His Shocking Secret: 8 Years of Celibacy!
The Hollywood icon, now 60, has been open about his struggles with addiction and sobriety, but a new revelation has left fans stunned. Charlie Sheen has been celibate for an astonishing eight years, ever since he quit booze and drugs in 2017.
In a candid interview with PageSix, the former Two And A Half Men star revealed that he's given up on romantic relationships, stating, "If I don't have a girlfriend and I'm not paying for it, then I think the math is pretty simple. The math is pretty simple..." He paused, leaving us hanging, but continued to open up about his journey.
Sheen confessed that sex was once a top priority in his life, but after sobering up, he realized that it was time for a break from "those pursuits." But don't worry, folks! This isn't a permanent goodbye. Charlie still hopes to find love again in the future, welcoming some type of companionship into his life.
The actor's personal life has been marred by high-profile marriages and divorces. He was married three times: to Donna Peele in the 1990s, actress Denise Richards from 2002 to 2006, and Brooke Mueller from 2008 to 2011. The latter marriage was particularly rocky, with both parties struggling with addiction issues.
Charlie's relationship with Brooke has been on-again, off-again over the years, but in a surprising twist, he revealed that his ex-wife is now doing well. "Even though it might appear that I was a little harder on Brooke than I was on Denise [Richards], that was justified," he explained. He also stated that their past issues don't impact their current dynamic, assuring fans that the couple's kids are not affected by their complicated history.
The actor's health has also been a concern in recent years. In 2011, Charlie was diagnosed with HIV, but after a decade of struggling with addiction and health problems, he feels grateful to have survived. "A lot of this should be viewed as gravy," he said. "It's borrowed time or my 10th life, because I think I get one more than all those cats."
In a shocking admission, Charlie revealed that he used alcohol to hide his stutter for years. In his new memoir, The Book of Sheen, the actor confessed that drinking helped ease his speech impediment, allowing him to "soften the edges" and gain confidence on set.
When asked about his stutter during an appearance on Good Morning America this week, Charlie explained, "Drinking just... it softened the edges. It gave me just freedom of speech." He also shared how he finally opened up about his struggles with his stutter after landing a role on sitcom Spin City.
Sheen's candid conversations about his addiction and health issues have sparked hope in fans that he's truly turned over a new leaf. The actor insists that he's been clean and sober since 2017, and as he looks toward the future, he believes there might be "some of the real gold" yet to come.
Charlie's journey has been nothing short of dramatic, but one thing is clear: this Hollywood icon is determined to share his story with the world. As he so aptly put it, "This story should've ended 100 times 20 years ago, and it didn't. And it didn't. So whatever happens next might be just where some of the real gold has been hidden, you know?"
