Charlie Sheen isn\u2019t holding back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The former \u201cTwo and a Half Men\u201d star spoke with People on Friday<\/a> about his upcoming Netflix<\/a> documentary, \u201caka Charlie Sheen.\u201d In the two-part series, Sheen opens up about his past sexual experiences with men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cLiberating. It\u2019s fucking liberating… [to] just talk about stuff,\u201d he says in the documentary, per People. \u201cIt\u2019s like a train didn\u2019t come through the side of the restaurant. A fucking piano didn\u2019t fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sheen went on to unpack the context behind his exploration. According to him, his same-sex experiences began during a period when he was using crack cocaine \u2014 a time he described as both chaotic and revealing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what started it,\u201d he said, explaining how drug use opened the door. \u201cThat\u2019s where it was born, or sparked. And in whatever chunks of time that I was off the pipe, trying to navigate that, trying to come to terms with it \u2014 \u2019Where did that come from? Why did that happen? And then just finally being like, \u2018So what?\u2019 So what? Some of it was weird. A lot of it was fucking fun, and life goes on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It was during his years of intense drug usage that Sheen contracted HIV, which he revealed in a now-famous interview<\/a> with Today in 2015. Sheen said he learned he was HIV positive four years before the interview aired, and had paid millions of dollars to \u201cunsavory\u201d people who had blackmailed him<\/a> by threatening to reveal his diagnosis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Initially, Sheen said he feared he had a brain tumor, but after extensive testing, he was finally given the real diagnosis \u2014 something he called a \u201cturning point\u201d in his life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 20 Years Of<\/span>Free<\/span>Journalism<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
