Martin Sheen with his sons Charlie (left) and Emilo (right)
Martin Sheen has finally talked openly about his disturbed but absolutely famous son - Charlie Sheen. Charlie had gone through a lot recently. He was the main highlight of media in the past few weeks. Now that Charlie has been officially fired from "Two and a Half Men", Martin spoke a bit on his son.
Martin Sheen, who is now 70 years old talked to UK newspaper - The Telegraph while promoting his film "The Way" with his other son Emilo Estevez . He said that he knew what "hell" Charlie Sheen is living in.
CBS, Warner Bros fired Charlie from the famous show on the basis of his dangerously self-destructive conduct and ill behavior. Charlie sued the company and the creator of the show because he thought he was wrongfully terminated. He made many public remarks against them also.
Martin Sheen, however talked candidly, "Charlie's 45 years old. He's not a kid. Emotionally he still is. Because when you're addicted, you don't grow emotionally. So when you get clean and sober you're starting at the moment you started using drugs or alcohol. You're emotionally crippled."
He went on to say, "But I know what hell he's living in. I've had psychotic episodes in public. One of them was on camera - the opening scene of 'Apocalypse Now.' So I know what Charlie is going through. And when you do something like that, that is out of control, that's the most difficult thing. You have to courage."
I think Martin Sheen really knows how to talk. He really spelled it out clearly to the media and at the same time spoke honestly about his son's behavior. I always liked Martin Sheen for his coolness.
Meanwhile, nothing stops Charlie Sheen. He is going on a tour to perform a series of unscripted live shows. Audiences are all excited about his tour already. No matter how messed up he is, his fans love him!
