While we can’t blame you for losing track of time these days, with the epidemic and all that happened in 2020, it’s difficult to believe Charlie Sheen’s notorious meltdown happened ten years ago.

In an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment on Thursday, the 55-year-old actor expressed regretfor his previous actions, which includes making headlines for giving bizarre interviews and coining terms like “winning” and “tiger blood.”

At the height of “Two and a Half Men,” Sheen was the highest-paid actor on television in 2011, earning about $2 million each episode. However, behind the scenes, the 55-year-personal old’s life was in shambles.

On Christmas Day in 2010, Sheen pled guilty to abusing his ex wife, Brooke Mueller. He was also embroiled in a public spat with Chuck Lorre, the show’s creator, whom he constantly insulted in interviews.

‘People have [said to] me, “Hey, man, that was so cool, that was so fun to watch. That was so cool to be a part of and support and all that energy and, you know, we stuck it to the man,”‘ Sheen recalled in his interview.

‘My thought behind that is, “Oh, yeah, great. I’m so glad that I traded early retirement for a f***ing hashtag,”‘ he continued, referencing #winning and #tigerblood, two of his famous expressions that have become part of the pop culture zeitgeist.’

Sheen has expressed regret for his actions, according to the source. “There was 55 different ways for me to handle that situation, and I chose number 56. And so, you know, I think the growth for me post-meltdown or melt forward or melt somewhere — however you want to label it — it has to start with absolute ownership of my role in all of it,” he said. “And it was desperately juvenile.”

“I…needed someone to reach out to and say, ‘Hey, man… How can we help?’ And instead they showed up in droves with…all types of fanfare and celebration of…what I think was a very public display of a mental health moment,” he explains.

Sheen revealed his earlier attempts to quit drinking to Dr. Mehmet Oz in 2016, joking that he must have attempted to say no to the bottle “about 2,000” times over the years.

“There was a stretch where I didn’t drink for 11 years. No cocaine, no booze for 11 years,” he said. “So I know that I have that in me.”

Sheen said that after getting his HIV diagnosis, he fell off the wagon.

“It was to suffocate the anxiety and what my life was going to become with this condition and getting so numb I didn’t think about it,” he explained at the time. “It was the only tool I had at the time, so I believed that would quell a lot of that angst. A lot of that fear. And it only made it worse.”

After relapsing following his HIV diagnosis, Sheen celebrated one year of recovery in 2018.

He chose to get clean after being too inebriated to transport his daughter to an appointment the same year, he claimed in an interview.

He assured the hosts, “I don’t drink and drive, ever. I called my buddy Tony and we got her to the thing and got her home. And it was that night, I was like, ‘Wow, I’m not even responsible enough to be available for my children’s needs.”

He’s making a comeback now, according to Yahoo!, with a new program in the works.
