Carlos Irwin Estévez, better known as
Charlie Sheen, is Hollywood's best known bad boy. His personal life
has often over shadowed his film and highly successful film and
TV career. His most notable films were Platoon (1986 ) and Wall
Street (1987). His popularity however, is based in his TV work, especially
as Charlie Hopper the long-running Two and a Half Men which was
allegedly based on his bad-boy image and even his Malibu Beach house
as the primary setting. Charlie's big break came in 1986 when he starred in Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986). Stone then cast Charlie in Wall Street (1987) alongside his father, Martin Sheen. His film success led to excess in his personal life and Charlie began to develop a reputation as a hard-partying, womanizer. In 1995, he was called to testify at the trial of Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. At the trial, while under oath, he admitted to spending nearly $50,000 on 27 of Fleiss' $2,500-a-night prostitutes. An ex-girlfriend filed charges claiming that Charlie physically abused her. He was later charged with misdemeanor battery to which he pleaded no contest and was given a year's suspended sentence, two years' probation and a $2,800 fine. In 1998, Charlie was hospitalized for an injected cocaine overdose. After his discharge, his father issued a public appeal for fans to pray for him, and reported him for violation of parole. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and Charlie was sent to rehab. He also gained national attention as one of the celebrity 9/11 conspiracy theorists. In 1995, after a messy divorce from Donna Peele, Charlie announced that he had become a born-again Christian. Charlie continued to make headlines with his relationships with a series of porno actresses. In 2006, he had a nasty divorce from Denise Richards who accused him of addictions to drugs and gambling. This was followed a few years later by another nasty divorce from Brooke Mueller who alleged that Charlie said, “I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom” when she submitted a declaration to the judge who temporarily stripped of Charlie’s custody of their twin sons.Charlie's drug and sex additions finally exhausted the producers of Two and a Half Men, and Charlie was fired in 2012. Charlie claims to have slept with more than 5000 women resulting in his being listed as #2 on Maxim's "Top 10 Living Legends of Sex". In an Empire magazine interview, Charlie was asked what was the largest number of people he had sex with at any one time. He replied: "...five girls at once. It was a pile-up...and it wasn't so much about going Caligula, it was very organized. Very ordered...all six people in that room came out of it pretty satisfied," So based on that claim, we suggest serving Pfeffernuesse on Charlie's birthday while remembering what a good actor he once was by watching Platoon.
