Charlie Sheen is opening up about his sexual history.
“I flipped the menu over,” the Two and a Half Men alum, 60, says in both his upcoming Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen (out September 10), as well as in his memoir, The Book of Sheen (out September 9), according to an article published by People on Friday, September 5.
In the documentary, Sheen reportedly talks about how it feels good to be open about his sexual encounters with men.
“It’s f***ing liberating… [to] just talk about stuff,” he admits in the doc. “It’s like a train didn’t come through the side of the restaurant. A f***ing piano didn’t fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me.”
“I’m not going to run from my past, or let it own me,” the former Anger Management actor added in an interview with People.
On Friday, Sheen also sat down with Michael Strahan for an interview on Good Morning America and discussed the topic further.
“You say sex went hand in hand with your drug use. And wanting to try as you framed it, [the] ‘other side of the menu,’ That’s sleeping with men,” Strahan, 53, remarked. “You said you’re being honest about it now. Why did you keep it secret for so long?”
“Because there was another element to it. It comes with a tremendous amount of extortion,” Sheen replied. “So at the time, I was just like, ‘All right, let’s just pay to keep it quiet.’”
Additionally, Sheen noted people “had videoed things” and “had stuff over” him, so he felt “hostage.”
“And so I just need to be free of that and then see how the world feels if people know that stuff,” he shared.
