I remember Charlie Sheen in his early days in movies such as Platoon and Major League. And then my thoughts turn to crazy Charlie Sheen who did these crazy things that created lots of drama. Quite a few actors follow this path and then are saved from themselves. I recently saw Charlie Sheen on a talk show and was amazed at how honest he was about his past and how proud he was of his being sober for the past 8 years (He should be proud, it's a life saving accomplishment!). He was funny, self deprecating and I became interested in how he had turned his life around. His memoir, The Book of Sheen, reveals all of that...
The Book of Sheen by Charlie Sheen... " For the first time, Charlie Sheen, the star of Platoon, Wall Street, Major League, and Two and a Half Men, writes the story of his extraordinary life in an unfiltered memoir.
“We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former.”
Charlie Sheen should not be alive to write this book.
But in The Book of Sheen, the movie and TV star, who has defied the odds, finally presents his story, in his own words. Charlie Sheen was born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet. He grew up on film sets—from his father’s all over the world, to his own in Malibu. There he made ambitious Super 8s, with a roster of friends who went on to become household names themselves, including his brother Emilio, Sean and Chris Penn, and the Lowe brothers.
Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a young soldier in Platoon, and an ethically compromised trader in Wall Street. But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in Spin City and Two and a Half Men, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities.
Now sober, Sheen delivers a clear-eyed narrative of his highs and lows with humor, candor, and a vivid, captivating writing style that is uniquely his. The Book of Sheen comes across like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life—yet it is all true.
Published by Gallery Books Sept. 9th, 2025, this book is now available at your favorite book seller... and it's on my wishlist. Some celebrity memoirs are the same old stuff, but I think this one is destined to be a page turner.
