Charlie Sheen shocked an interviewer when he revealed that the Mexican cartel cut him off from buying cocaine.
“The cartel cut you off?” interviewer Amelia Adams asked the “Two and a Half Men” alum on Sunday’s episode of Australia’s “60 Minutes,” per Daily Mail.
“They did, they did,” he confirmed.
“They had never seen someone acquiring that kind of weight,” Sheen, 60, added, referring to the amount of grams he would request.
“The only other people that they were delivering that kind of weight to were dealers. They thought I was dealing on the side.”
Adams then asked the actor if it was “true that [he was] smoking seven-gram rocks of crack cocaine.”
“Well, we never took one out and put it on a scale,” Sheen responded. “But that was the amount that was cooked to get it into that form.”
The “Platoon” star stated that he once joked he was “going to need a bigger pipe.”
“It’s kind of funny, no?” he asked Adams before agreeing that he was “lucky to be alive.”
Sheen’s confession comes after he opened up about his sobriety journey in his new memoir, “The Book of Sheen.”
In the book, the Golden Globe winner credited his daughter Sami for helping him quit drugs and alcohol in 2017 after decades of abuse.
He reminisced about the time he was scheduled to pick up the model from an appointment, but had to ask a friend to drive when he couldn’t sober up in time.
“Sam was very quiet,” Sheen wrote. “I didn’t need to be clairvoyant to know exactly what she was thinking.”
“Why is Dad not driving — again?” he theorized the now 21-year-old was thinking. “Why isn’t it just the two of us in the car like it used to be? When will that moment ever return? When will Dad ever return? I miss him.”
The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” star claimed that there was “only one thing that felt worse than betraying [himself] and that was failing [his] children.”
He recalled consuming “two Valiums and [drinking] three beers” the next day before never touching substances again.
Sheen shares Sami and Lola, 20, with his ex-wife Denise Richards.
The Only Fans model is estranged from her famous father and admitted in April that the “first 13 years of [her] life” were “pretty bad” during an episode of “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.”
