Biografía

Accidentally shot then fiancée Kelly Preston in the arm. Soon after that incident, she left him and married her formerly platonic friend John Travolta.

Credited actor Keith David with saving his life during the shooting of Pelotón (1986). According to Sheen, while shooting a battle scene in an open-doored Huey helicopter, the pilot banked too hard and Sheen was thrown towards the open door. He would have plunged through the door and fallen to his death, but David grabbed on to him and pulled him back in. The same thing happened to his brother Emilio Estevez during downtime in Apocalipsis (1979) when Laurence Fishburne rescued him from quicksand.

Before his Two and a Half Men. Dos hombres y medio (2003) termination, he was the highest paid actor on a primetime series in the history of television. During that time, he was making $2 million per episode.

8/3/90: His family held an intervention to try to get him to control his drug and alcohol abuse and enter rehab. He entered rehab for 30 days and ended up staying sober for exactly 366 days. His main goal was to make one year, and after making it, he drank the very next day at Nicolas Cage's home.

Is the only member of his family to legally change his name to Sheen and pass that new name onto his children. Like his father and all his siblings, his birth name was Estevez. His father is still legally Ramon Estevez, and all his siblings still use the name Estevez.

[Studios] won't hire you, even though you screwed the same whores and ate the bullet for it. Yet they pull you aside at a party and say you're their hero for the things you do. [Variety (August 14, 1997)]

"This is like a sober acid trip" (his reaction to winning the Golden Globe Award!)

Usually in a battle sequence when a bomb is going off, you forget you're acting.

I don't think it's wise to dwell on regret. There's regret, sure. But whatever you've done good or bad, is a part of who you are now. That's the thing you can change and improve.

"I'd begun drinking all the time. We shot in New York City, so I'd be out to the bars every night till 3 or 4 a.m., then try to show up for a 6 o'clock call to stand toe to toe with Michael Douglas and handle 50% of a scene. How could that work? Yet there I was, the guy that struck gold, looking around at dawn to find that the only one still partying was me. I'd be drinking away, doing blow [cocaine], popping pills, and telling myself I wasn't an addict, because there wasn't a needle stuck in my arm. Talk about mixing up fantasy and reality! My true addiction was alcohol. The extra toxic boosters just helped me shore up the wall between my celebrity self and my real self. The questions I was running from were: 'Is this success all a fluke? Had I been fooling everybody so far? Will I get caught?' It was easy to get hammered and messed up. But in doing so, I buried my self-respect, I buried my self-esteem, I buried my creative drive, and I damned near buried myself." - On filming El poder y la avaricia (1987) and his life at the time.
