Washington: Charlie Sheen has revealed that he doesn’t “recognise parts” of himself when he looks back on his “cringeable” behaviour from last year.
The 46-year-old actor, who suffered drug and alcohol problems in 2011 before being axed from hit TV series ‘Two and a Half Men’, has apologised to the American public for his actions last year, and has compared his wild behaviour to having an out-of-body experience.
“I didn’t recognise parts of who that guy was. I just wish it was somebody else’s body. You say it’s been a year - it’s either been a day, or a hundred years,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling on the ‘Today’ show.
“I guess the plan was to reintroduce myself to America and to the media and say, ‘Sorry about that, but here’s what’s happening now,” he said.
Sheen joked that it was a ‘‘team effort’’ which led to him ultimately overcome his drug and alcohol issues, but admitted he didn’t have many friends through his troubled time.
“It was a team effort that was ultimately led by myself. There were not a lot of people close by saying, ‘Dude, let’s just take a step back’,” he said.
Sheen has also admitted to feeling a “a little bit” bitter about Ashton Kutcher replacing him on ‘Two and a Half Men’, but he insists that has got over it by creating new sitcom ‘Anger Management’, in which he will play a therapist, because he didn’t want his TV legacy to be remembered for the wrong reasons.
On being asked if he had bad feelings towards ‘Two and a Half Men’ and Kutcher, he said, “A little bit. I gotta work through that. I could probably do it in group on my show. Just not out loud.”
“I couldn’t have the ‘Two and a Half Men’ thing be my television legacy. I couldn’t have that end on that note. If this is going to be a swansong, then it’s got to be a beautiful experience, and, so far, eight days there was more fun than eight years,” he added.
