Denise Richards is going back to her roots. The famously blonde Wild Things star and former cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is supporting ex-husband Charlie Sheen by appearing in his new two-part Netflix documentary aptly titled aka Charlie Sheen.
Just-released previews of the revealing doc give a glimpse at Denise candidly talking about her ex and their tumultuous relationship. Richards uses her appearance in the doc to debut a dark honey-colored hue to her hair, a departure from her signature blonde.

Fans React to Denise Richards in Netflix’s ‘Charlie Sheen’ Documentary
Fans were as surprised to see Richards’ dark hair as they were to see her in her ex-husband’s documentary at all. The Hollywood couple met in 2000 when Denise was a guest star on Sheen’s sitcom Two and a Half Men. The couple married in 2002 and welcomed their first child, daughter Sami Sheen, in 2004. Later that year, the couple announced their second pregnancy before quickly announcing they would file for divorce.
The pair has had their series of ups and downs, with Richards eventually pinch-hitting to help raise Sheen’s young sons Bob and Max (with ex-wife Brooke Mueller) when both Sheen and Mueller were battling addiction issues.
Over time, Sheen and Richards seemed to have buried the hatchet and have worked to raise Sami and daughter Lola in harmony.
“I’m happy for the two of them. They went through hell. You can tell there is still love there,” wrote one empathetic fan.
While some fans appreciated Richards and Sheen’s chemistry, expressing a desire for them to get back together, most commenters were quick to note just how lovely Richards looks with her darker hair.
“The darker hair on her. 😍😍,” wrote one adoring fan. Another called Richards, “My girl crush.”
How to Watch the ‘Charlie Sheen’ Documentary
aka Charlie Sheen is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, on Netflix. The two-part documentary features interviews with Sheen, Richards, former costar Jon Cryer, ex-wife Brooke Mueller, childhood friend Sean Penn, and even his former drug dealer.
The series documents the actor’s rise, fall, and battle with addiction, and his path to sobriety.
Sheen, who is celebrating eight years of sobriety, has had a well-documented battle with addiction, which ultimately led to a public breakdown and him getting fired from Two and a Half Men. The Malibu native was once the highest-paid actor on television and one of the most esteemed young actors, with roles in Wall Street and Platoon.
Now sober, Sheen is sharing his story through his Netflix documentary.
