Inside, aka Charlie Sheen: Actor breaks silence on long-held personal struggles

The documentary featuring Charlie Sheen is being praised as a liberating and brutally honest portrayal of a star who has been a media favorite for decades. Sheen's self-destruction, from his dramatic dismissal from Two and a Half Men to his public meltdowns, is revisited not to provoke sympathy, but for him to fully acknowledge his past choices.

Director Andrew Renzi deliberately included Marco, the actor's former drug dealer, to give unfiltered, first-hand reports of the actor's drug abuse. Marco even reveals that he was one of the key figures who helped wean Sheen off drugs, a testament to the complex relationships that defined this period of his life.

While Sheen's father, Martin Sheen, and brother, Emilio Estevez, do not appear directly in the film, they have given the project their full support, stating that this is Charlie's story to tell. The documentary aims to reshape Sheen's public image and correct the record on his own terms by addressing his past honestly and even humorously. The Scary Movie 3 actor says in the trailer:

“I lit the fuse, you know, and my life [turned] into everything it wasn’t supposed to be. Everything was fine for a while. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got arrested… for a while.”

Charlie Sheen first became popular in the 1980s after appearing in acclaimed movies like Wall Street and Platoon, which solidified his status as a leading man. Later, he became the highest-paid actor on television after achieving enormous success in television with shows like Spin City and the popular sitcom Two and a Half Men.

Sheen's life at 60 now stands in sharp contrast to the public personality he built during his years of substance abuse. With eight years of sobriety, he lives a much quieter life, focusing on his family and his health. He only returned to acting in Chuck Lorre's Bookie series, and he will soon release The Book of Sheen, a memoir to go along with his upcoming Netflix documentary.
