Charlie Sheen: photo, childhood

The future star of Hollywood and the conqueror of women's hearts was born on September 3, 1965 in the American city of New York. His real name is Carlos Irwin Estevez. The father of the future celebrity - Martin Sheen (this is his pseudonym) was a successful actor, and his mother - Janet Templeton was an artist. It is interesting that in the footsteps of the parent went not only Charlie, but also his two older brothers (Emilio and Ramon), as well as younger sister (Renee). Some time after Charlie's birth, his family moved to Malibu.

The boy attended a school in Santa Monica, where he was in a baseball team. He was very keen on this game, and coaches even predicted a great future for him in the sport. However, Charlie felt a different vocation in himself. Moreover, he grew up surrounded by like-minded friends, one of whom was Sean Pen, who later became a famous actor, and at that time already filmed amateur films.

The beginning of acting career

The first film debut of the future Hollywood star took place when he was only nine years old. Then the boy starred in the film "The execution of Private Slovic", the main role played by his father - Martin Sheen. Charlie took part in another tape, over which his father worked. It's about the sensational film of Francis Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" in 1979. Despite the fact that the young man got only the role of extras, he was involved with his head in this most difficult and powerful project. By the way, during the filming of his father earned a heart attack, and Marlon Brando recovered so much that the director considered it possible to shoot only his face and then in the twilight.

After graduation, Charlie has seriously thought about film career. At the age of 19, he starred in the film "Red Dawn", which shone with such celebrities as Patrick Swayze, Lea Thompson and Jennifer Gray. In 1986, the young actor was offered a role in the film "Ferris Bueller takes a day off". He appears in a small episode in the role of a drug dealer.

Charlie Sheen: filmography, the way to the top

His first serious role was played by the novice actor in the 1986 film, entitled "Platoon," directed by Oliver Stone. Charlie's hero was a brave soldier named Chris Taylor. He liked Stone so much that he offered Shin a role in his next movie, Wall Street, where he played a character called Bad Fox. The director came to such delight from the work of the young actor that he invited him to his next picture called "Born on the Fourth of July". But literally at the last minute Tom Cruise was approved for the role. In connection with this incident, actor Charlie Sheen decided to never again cooperate with Oliver Stone. This did not prevent the young man from continuing to conquer the heights of the filmoim. So, in 1987 he starred in two films at once: "Three on the Road" and "No-Land".

Continuation of film career

Charlie Sheen, whose filmography for four years (from 1987 to 1991) was replenished with a whole series of fairly successful works, continued his creative path, performing in various roles. So, he played superbly in the tape "Young Arrows" (1988) and "Major League" (1989). In 1990, Charlie was invited to take part in six films at once. So, in "Rookie" he played the role of a policeman in a duet with Clint Eastwood. After that, the light saw the picture "Back track", and then "Men at work", directed by Charlie's brother - Emilio Esteves. In addition, Shina could be seen in such films as "Seals", "Mountain of Courage" and "Disbat."

First big success

In 1992, Charlie starred in only one film, but this role without a doubt can be called the key in the career of a young actor. It's about the comedic action movie "Hotheads" directed by Jim Abrahams. Hero Tire became the charming and hilarious Topper Harley. The film was so successful with the audience that next year it was decided to withdraw the second part of the "Hotheads".

Charlie's career went uphill, and he actively continued to appear in comedies and action films, as well as in mystical and adventure films. In 1993, he appeared in the image of Aramis in the next screen version of The Three Musketeers. This role Shina was very warmly received by both spectators and film critics. In the same year, he shone in such tapes as "Charged Weapons", "Beyond the Law" and "Lethal Fall".

Charlie Sheen, whose filmography is rich in paintings of various genres, yet always gave preference to comedies. So, in this genre, you can especially distinguish such tapes as "Very Scary Movie" and "Big Theft."

Shooting in TV shows

In 1994, Charlie Sheen starred in the episode "Friends." It was his first, but not the last role in the television series. After it followed the shooting in the projects "Show Drew Kerry" and "City whirlwind". In 2003, the actor received one of the key roles in the series "Two and a half people." Charlie Sheen starred in eight seasons of this TV project, which became super popular.

Harmful habits

Unfortunately, not only films featuring Charlie Sheen attracted the attention of journalists and the public. So, the actor's name often appeared in the headlines of the media in connection with his addiction to alcohol and drugs.

In 1998, Charlie landed in a hospital after an overdose of cocaine. After that, he again continued to use drugs until he decided to undergo rehabilitation.

A crisis

The consequence of the addiction of Charlie Sheen to alcohol and illegal drugs was his dismissal from the TV series "Two and a Half Men" of the CBS channel, which occurred in 2011. The actor's relationship with the creators of the film project began to deteriorate long before that. However, then the problem did not seem particularly serious. Moreover, Charlie went to undergo another rehabilitation program (by the way, the third in the 12-month period). However, a few weeks after the return of Shin from the medical center, CBS canceled the shooting of the last four episodes of the latter at the time of the series. It happened after the actor publicly insulted one of the creators of the sitcom Chuck Lorry. In addition, Shin, who at that time was already the highest paid participant in television series, demanded a 50% increase in his salary. Charlie motivated his position by the fact that in comparison with the income of the series itself, he considers himself an "underpaid actor".

At that time, Shin, as they say, "fell off the reel" and began to get up strange things. So, he posted on the Internet videos, where he smoked cigars through his nose, and also skillfully scolded former employers. In an interview, he said that he was tired of pretending "that he was not special" and "that he was not a crazy rock star from Mars." Of course, such antics did not contribute to the successful work of Charlie, as a result of which he was forced to make a short pause in his career.

Personal life

Charlie Sheen has always been known for his weakness for the fairer sex. He was officially married three times and became the father of five children. And not always he treated his beloved gently and affectionately. Thus, several facts of actor's act of aggression in relation to wives and girls are recorded.

The first daughter of Charlie was born in 1984 by his former school friend Paula Profit. The girl was called Cassandra Jade. In 1990, he wounded his bride Kelly Preston, and she decided to break off the engagement. In the next few years, he met with a lot of porn actresses, among which are Heather Hunter and Ginger Lynn.

The first official wife of Charlie Sheen - Donna Peel - married him in 1995. However, after the actor lit up in the list of regular customers of one of the escort agencies, very soon their marriage broke up.

Six years later, in 2002, Charlie married his colleague on the set - Denise Richards. In the marriage, the actors had two daughters: Sam and Lola. Richards filed for divorce in 2005. Now, the former wife of Charlie Sheen has accused the actor of being overly addicted to alcohol and drugs, as well as to physical assault. Finally, the couple filed a divorce in 2006.

After the lapse of the two children, Shin bound himself by marriage to Brooke Muller, who subsequently gave him the twin sons Max and Bob. However, this union did not last long: the couple divorced in 2011. At the same time, Brooke repeatedly accused the former spouse of inadequate behavior.

Earlier this year, Charlie Sheen said that he married 24-year-old porn actress Brett Rossi.
