Charlie Sheen, once TV’s highest-paid actor, made headlines with his Netflix documentary Alias Charlie Sheen, released in September 2025. The 60-year-old star of Two and a Half Men and films like Platoon opened up about his struggles with drug, alcohol, and sex addictions in both the documentary and a recent Impaulsive podcast episode.
On the podcast with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak, Sheen revealed he lost his virginity at 15 to a prostitute named Candy, paid for with his father Martin Sheen’s credit card. He described her as “Ann-Margret with Mastercard.” More shockingly, Sheen claimed to have slept with over 47,000 women, averaging three per day in his active years.

In Alias Charlie Sheen, the actor admitted, “I’m built for degeneracy, for recklessness. It could be drugs, women, or a million things. It’s part of my DNA.” He discussed past cocaine, crack, and pill use, as well as sexual encounters with men during his addiction peak. Sheen, who revealed his HIV-positive status in 2015, now calls himself semi-celibate.
When Majlak asked what drove his extreme choices, Sheen replied, “It wasn’t complex. It was about navigating each situation as my mood took me.” He likened avoiding danger to not wearing “baggy pants on a safari” to avoid a lion attack, offering candid life advice.
Sheen’s revelations, viewed by millions on Netflix (top 10 globally, 2025), spark discussions on addiction and fame. His openness about HIV and past behaviour builds trust, while his semi-celibate shift shows growth. The story resonates with 65% of Americans aware of his struggles (YouGov, 2024).
