Being sober is boring: Charlie Sheen

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

Wildman actor Charlie Sheen, barely out of hospital from his latest reported drug-and-booze meltdown, said Tuesday he has no intention of mending his ways.

"I was sober for five years a long time ago and was just bored out of my tree," he said in a phone call to DirecTV/Fox Sports Radio host Dan Patrick.

"It's inauthentic -- it's not who I am. I didn't drink for 12 years and, man, that first one, Dan. Wow."

Sheen, star of the TV series "Two and a Half Men" and the son of actor Martin Sheen, has become nonstop tabloid fodder with escapades allegedly involving hard drugs, hard drinking, prostitutes and porn actresses.

Two weeks ago he checked into rehab after being rushed to hospital with "severe abdominal pains" from a reported drug- and booze-fueled bender.

The emergency required suspension of production on "Two and a Half Men," in which Sheen, 45, plays a hedonistic bachelor.

In his rambling radio interview, Sheen suggested he should get back to work while he still could.

"Check it. It's like, I heal really quickly. But I unravel pretty quickly. So get me right now, guys," he said, addressing the show's producers.

TMZ, a celebrity news site, reported that Sheen had been partying with five women, including a porn star, and a briefcase full of cocaine at the time of his last meltdown.

The star filed for divorce from his wife of two years in November, days after being taken to hospital following a reported drunken incident at a luxury New York hotel involving another porn star.

In addition to his reported substance abuse, Sheen had several run-ins with the law in the 1990s in cases related to drugs, domestic violence and prostitution.

Sheen laughed off his problems Tuesday, saying the good behavior clause in his TV contract was irrelevant.

"Yeah, blah, blah, nitpick, nitpick," he said. "I haven't read it, but I don't think it covers 'Let us totally dominate and interfere with your personal life.'"

He said crack cocaine was bad, but not for everyone.

"I said stay off the crack, and I still think that's pretty good advice, unless you can manage it socially. If you can manage it socially, then go for it, but not a lot of people can, you know?"

I read this earlier. Charlie is someone who has never wanted for anything. He had everything when it comes to worldly goods from the moment he was born, the ability to pursue instant gratification in any way he wished...and professional accolades the minute he walked on to the stage. He strove for very little. People who experience this soon find themselves profoundly bored with life—so calloused that they can no longer feel or appreciate the simple things of life, or can find joy in accomplishing something. They are doomed to a life of numb, meaningless everything.

 

I find it very sad. If he makes it more than a year, I will honestly be surprised. What a terrible waste.

 

He is however, a good example of the industry that Hollywood has become. It used to be the majority of stars were people from small town America with working class values and history who had to work for someone else to earn their success. Now, they are second and third generation people who enter the family business because they have no skills outside of the industry. And frankly not that many in it.

 

No wonder they are so very out of touch with the rest of us.

Pollyannaish!

 

Actually Hollywierd has always had these types:

 

Charlie Chaplin was no saint....Fatty Arbuckle....Errol Flynn....but it is sad. His father Martin Sheen was a hard living guy until his heart-attack on Apocalypse Now. I thought when Charlie married Denise Richards & had kids, he'd have a reason to change, but in that you are right.......even when he had everything, it wasn't enough.

Oh that is true. In fact I'll go one step further and say that the WORLD has always had these types. But I think even with the hedonistic lifestyles there was a respect and understanding of the rest of us—a connection and even a shame attached to their weaknesses. There is a difference between spoiled brats, and people who are broken because of other things.

 

I hoped so too, especially for the sake of his children. I have to admit, that despite his issues I generally like his work. I have NO CLUE as to why though, because he clearly hasn't earned my respect!
