A more subdued Charlie Sheen made an unexpected appearance on “Piers Morgan Tonight” on Monday to set the record straight about his rift with CBS executives, allegations of violence, and speculation that he is currently under the influence of drugs, even offering up his most recent drug test results.
Sheen sounds more lucid in this interview than his recent rants, leaving many to believe he has been on a manic episode, and is headed for a crash — which he also addresses, continuing his trend of raising himself above the level of other mere mortal beings, saying, “I’m a winner and their lives look like they’re ruled by losers, just to put it in black and white terms. I don’t want their lives, and they want mine, but they want to criticize the hell out of it.”
“And now they’ve run the gamut from okay he’s not loaded, now what? Oh he’s manic. I don’t even know what that means, I guess that would imply that there’s going to be a crash. I don’t know when that’s coming, but maybe you can cover it when it does,” he tells Morgan.
Sheen also takes on rumors that he will be replaced by John Stamos on Two and a Half Men. “If you guys do that, you deserve everything that’s gonna happen later,” says Sheen. “Sorry John, you’re a lovely man, but you got on me on Howard Stern, bro, and I don’t forget anything,” he continued.
Sheen said he is getting support from other actors, notably Mel Gibson and Sean Penn. “He’s a stone cold dude,” Sheen said of Gibson. “Sean Penn was over the other night and we had a few laughs,” he added.
Chuck Lorre has responded by releasing his own bizarre, rambling statement, ostensibly poking fun at Sheen’s recent antics.
