In the years following Charlie Sheen’s highly publicized dismissal from Two and a Half Men, it’s natural to assume he and former co-star Jon Cryer shared some personal animosity for one another.
But in a recent interview with People magazine, the 60-year-old Sheen revealed his desire to reconnect with his ex-comedy partner 14 years after Sheen’s public meltdown and subsequent firing from Two and a Half Men.
Speaking about his two upcoming projects, the memoir The Book of Sheen and Netflix’s new documentary aka Charlie Sheen, the lead actor best known for his work on Platoon, Major League and Wall Street discussed his appreciation for Cryer’s contributions to the upcoming documentary.
As part of the documentary’s production, Sheen revealed he was unable to reach Cryer to request his involvement in the series, as Sheen no longer had an up-to-date phone number for his former sitcom castmate.
“The only reason I didn’t call him was because I didn’t have the right number for him, so the director reached out to him,” Sheen told People.
“But when I saw everything that Jon spoke about, so honestly and very compassionately, I wrote to him and I said, ‘Hey, thank you for your contributions, and I’m sorry we didn’t connect personally. I hope to see you around the campus,'” the actor continued.
As of yet, Sheen said that he hasn’t heard back from Cryer, leading him to believe he might have once again contacted him via an old address.
“I’m thinking I wrote to the wrong number,” said Sheen. “It’s not like Jon did not respond. He’s super responsible like that. So if you’re reading this, Jon, DM me your new number!”
While Sheen publicly derided Cryer for continuing on with Two and a Half Men following his controversial exit from the show back in the mid 2010s, the two actors appear to be on much better terms nowadays.
As part of the new documentary, Cryer opened up about his experiences witnessing Sheen’s personal substance issues, while at the same time Sheen has routinely voiced his regret for criticizing Cryer in the past.
“It was really cool to hear from his perspective,” Sheen said, referring to Cryer’s contributions in the documentary. “He was in the line of fire with all that stupid s**t going on, and it was affecting him and his family and his career and all that. I can’t debate anything that he said.”
