Charlie Sheen on if he still drinks “It’s always happy hour somewhere in the world!”


Can you believe that Charlie Sheen is still around and that he’s no longer inventing new catchphrases and binge raging into the night on live webcam broadcasts? We’ve heard that his neighbors are worried about him lately considering the amount of partying he seems to be doing, but with Charlie that’s incredible relative, isn’t it?

Charlie is back, he’s on FX in a new show called “Anger Management,” and he’s doing press for it. Charlie was on Good Morning America yesterday. (You can watch the video here.) As with every interview that Charlie does, he gave some colorful quotes but they came so fast and seemingly randomly that it’s hard to put into a narrative. For Charlie, though, he seemed calm and collected. He even admitted to having regrets about how much he went off the rails last year. Call me crazy, but he came across as sober-ish and genuine. He even said he was worried about co-host Robin Roberts, who was recently diagnosed with a blood disorder and wasn’t on GMA yesterday. Here’s part of what he said, thanks to Radar.

The sometimes erratic actor, promoting his new TV series Anger Management, appeared cool and collected in his appearance on Good Morning America Monday, as he said he’s not using drugs anymore.

Asked if he’s still drinking, Charlie said, “Who doesn’t? We live in a country where it’s always Miller Time. It’s always happy hour somewhere in the world!”

When asked if drinking was a sound approach considering he’s been to rehab before, Charlie said, “I don’t believe in rehab anymore, it’s not for me,” adding rehab is just not a “one-size-fits-all” cure-all for substance abuse.

As for his new show, Charlie said the chemistry on the set has been great, adding, “There hasn’t been an odd moment there … but there’s always tomorrow.”

Charlie got into the memorable media blitz he conducted during his long and nasty divorce with CBS and Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, saying, “My biggest regret is going a little too far.”

“I was vocal about people I shouldn’t have been so vocal about,” Charlie added. “I’m grateful we’re able to sit here and talk about it. It is odd to look at the clips and some of the stuff and say, ‘That was me.'”

Charlie said that after he’s done with this show, whenever that is, he wants to concentrate on being a full time dad. I’ll believe that when I see it, but I never thought he’d be on another show again so soon, and sounding semi-coherent either. It’s still hard for me to grasp that he’s really “sober,” whatever that means for him. I get the impression that he’s still using and thinks he has it under “control,” but maybe he’s telling the truth and he’s off the hard stuff. People can change I guess. Keith Richards is still around.

Charlie is in New York along with his ex wife, Denise Richards, and their two daughters: Sam, 8, and Lola, 7, along with Denise’s adopted daughter, Eloise/ It is the first time they’ve visited New York together since his 2010 incident at the plaza with a hooker. Rob Schuter at The Huffington Post quotes a source who explains that “They all flew out Friday together. Both Charlie and Denise have press in NYC, coincidentally. His show premieres Thursday and Denise’s movie opens Friday, so they decided to jump on a private plane together and bring the kids.” Denise has a movie coming out?! IMDB has her in Madea’s Witness Protection this month, along with Blue Lagoon: The Awakening. She also has a guest stint on “Anger Management.”

Charlie is shown out in NY with Denise and their daughter, Lola, yesterday. He’s also shown outside a club in LA on 5-3-12 and at the Stanley Cup Final on 6-6-12. Credit: FameFlynet and WENN.com

    Denise looks amazing in her forties.

    • DreamyK says:

      Her dress is so beautiful and the perfect color for her.

      Why is Charlie not dead from lung cancer yet? Almost every pic of him he has a cancer stick burning.

  2. SmokeyBlues says:

    Well, he looks like seven shades of hell.

  3. hatsumomo says:

    I still cant believe he came out on top and unscathed in the midst of all that crap he pulled last year. Unbelievable!

  4. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I feel like men in HWood always get a free pass for drunken, violent shenanigans.
    Although, at least he manages to make it to the set on time, unlike LiLo.

    I doubt he is sober. I have yet to meet anyone who has overcome a lifetime of addiction without the help of rehab.

    • Maguita says:

      He had been to rehab so many times, ever since his 20s, and for him, it just never stuck. Though most 12-step programs all admit, that short-term success rate is lower than 25% (I believe short-term is based on first year after one has started the program).

      As for Charlie, he is part of that very selective Hollywood men’s club. Whatever he does, people seem to keep on giving him more chances. Unfairly? Not completely…

      The big difference between Charlie and Lilo? He publicly owns up and apologizes EVERY TIME for his f-ck-upedness. Always. He had publicly apologized at the Emmys (or was it Golden Globes?) to Chuck Lorre and his Two-and-1/2 Men cast, and all the viewers. He owns up to his alcohol and drug abuse, and sincerely apologizes for the sh-t he has done.

      As for people who say that Charlie had shot Kelly Preston, they seem to forget that not only he had admitted that Kelly had by accident shot herself (the gun went off while she was handling it), but Kelly herself, as well as the cops had supported that story.

      True, when high and drunk, Charlie is a violent douche like so many douches, but the oddest thing, after watching him on Jimmy Fallon yesterday, you tend to forgive Charlie, because of his humble attitude in admitting bluntly how badly he f-cked up, and makes you wanna watch his new show “Anger Management”!

      • Bob Costas says:

        Quick heads up: 12-Step programs and rehabilitation centers are two totally different things. Charlie said rehab was not for him…I don’t believe he ever mentioned a twelve step program.

      • boo says:

        @BobCostas I have read that he has also tried the 12 step program and that didn’t work either. There you go.

      • Maguita says:

        Was under the impression that he was talking about his many stints at Betty Ford’s very much involved around 12-steps program.

        But thank you for clearing that up. At the end, I’m quite convinced that Charlie had done them all.

      • Vesper says:

        Success in rehab depends on a lot of factors, the most common being the stage of addiction (early, middle, late), length of time in residential treatment (ideally 1 year +), and the drug involved. Crack is one of the most addictive drugs, and the relapse rates are unbelievably high.

        I seem to remember Charlie’s drug of choice is crack, although I might be mistaken. What I’m not mistaken about is that Charlie has never done long term residential treatment. Actually, it doesn’t seem that many in Hollywood put much time at all into treating their addictions. Treatment on a out patient basis is just not effective to treat the majority of addicts. Residential treatment over a short period of time (i.e. 28 days) is useless. The reality for Charlie considering the severity of his addiction is that he undoubtedly still uses and for now he appears to be a somewhat functioning addict, but that will eventually change.

        It is not true to say that rehab doesn’t work because of the high relapse rate. Addiction research over the last 20 is years has indicated that the reality is a long term addict will struggle with their addiction for the rest of their life, and numerous relapses are part of that struggle. It is no longer accurate to say that an addict can go rehab once and never use again. That typically happens only when u get someone who is in a very early stage of addiction (i.e. teenagers).

        The result of this is that people blame the addict – they are not trying hard enough, they are beyond hope or they blame rehab. No addict is beyond hope, as far as treatment goes. However, without treatment many more people would die from their addictions, and at a much earlier rate. It isn’t all that different from cancer. Chemo/radiation doesn’t necessarily cure cancer, or even put it in remission, but it gives people more time, time in which they can spend with their family and children. Addicts, their families and their children deserve that extra time.

      Send his ass to The Salvation Army. They don’t mess around. No catering to the ego of the addict. My friend was the biggest crackhead/alcoholic, really off the deep end. His behavior was ten times worse than Charlie’s, believe it or not. It’s a miracle he’s alive. He went there twenty years ago, and today, he has a family and a successful career. It’s like night and day. He credits 12 Step for saving his life, literally. Charlie hasn’t hit his rock bottom yet. He might die first.

  5. Tillie says:

    Denise looks so good!

  6. Alexis says:

    Denise looks good.

    He looks like he has one foot in the grave.

  7. tripmom says:

    I actually think he looks better in these photos than he did last year. Certainly still rough, but a touch less haggard.

  8. RN says:

    How does he still have any hair left? He looks like a plant that’s been left in the desert sun too long. I can only imagine how he smells.

  9. Cuddles La Rue says:

    The problem with Charlie Sheen is that he doesn’t WANT to get sober. Rehab is useless for someone who just doesn’t want to change. I feel bad for his family, they are watching him kill himself and it gets to a point where you pretty much have to accept it because he just doesn’t want to change.

  10. erika says:

    isn’t he like 93?

    he’s gross.

    “wants to focus on being a great Dad”?

    Please1 Ho’s n’ blow’s is reason for living. i’m sure his skin is just bathing in gin and cigar sweat
