A sober Charlie Sheen, once the highest-paid TV star, looks back on a life of fame, drugs, excess and seven interventions in his book
A young Charlie Sheen once had Hollywood in his pocket, starring in culture-shaping films like Wall Street and Platoon before eventually becoming the highest-paid actor in television.
But underneath the glory lay decades of drug abuse, seven worried family interventions, innumerable drug-fuelled escapades and countless affairs.
The actor’s tumultuous journey towards sobriety is unabashedly laid out in his tell-all memoir, The Book of Sheen.
The 359-page book was released by Gallery Books this month. It reveals the story behind Sheen’s rise, fall and eventual sobriety in 2017. Netflix has also released a documentary on the actor that revisits his journey through fame.
