Charlie Sheen is the subject a new two-part Netflix documentary titled ‘AKA Charlie Sheen,’ directed by Andrew Renzi and premiering Sept. 10th on the streaming service.
In a trailer, Sheen, 59, says: “When you got a lot of shame about a lot of stuff, shame is suffocating. I lit the fuse and my life turned into everything it wasn’t supposed to be. There’s only one person alive that has the answers to so many people’s questions about me.”
The documentary also includes conversations with Sean Penn, ex-wife Denise Richards, Jon Cryer, Chris Tucker, ex-wife Brooke Mueller, Chuck Lorre, Ramon Estevez, Heidi Fleiss and Sheen’s drug dealer. The synopsis reads: “aka Charlie Sheen tracks his upbringing in Malibu to his effortless rise to megastardom — and dramatic fall, all within the public eye. With a stunning clarity earned through seven years of sobriety, Sheen openly speaks about the subjects and events he’s never discussed publicly before … the most outrageous moments of Sheen’s life are revisited with raw emotion and exceptional warmth, painting a portrait of a flawed man whose penchant for self-destruction is ultimately no match for the ferocious love and forgiveness he inspires in those closest to him.”
Sheen had a starring role on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men in the 2000s, but was fired from the show in 2011 following a public meltdown and conflict with the series creator, Chuck Lorre. Sheen and Lorre collaborated years later on the HBO series Bookie.
