Actor Charlie Sheen has provided further clarification regarding his recent revelations about past sexual encounters with men. The former “Two and a Half Men” star, who first disclosed the information in his memoir and a Netflix documentary, offered more specific details in a new interview on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger.”
Sheen sought to correct public perception about the nature of these encounters, which he previously linked to his years of addiction. “When people say ‘sex with men,’ you immediately think of butt sex,” Sheen stated. “Sorry to be graphic, but that’s kind of where the mind goes, right? And it wasn’t that.”
The actor described the experiences as not being “full-fledged” and compared them to experimentation typically associated with college. He emphasised that the encounters “never happened without insane amounts of crack,” directly linking them to his past substance abuse.
Sheen insisted his clarification is not driven by shame but by a desire for accuracy. “It’s not a shame thing,” he explained. “It’s just that people may have pictured something that didn’t happen.”

The actor also revealed he has been sober and celibate for the past eight years. His latest comments have generated mixed reactions online, with some viewers praising his continued honesty and others finding the additional details unnecessary.
The interview underscores Sheen’s ongoing effort to control the narrative of his highly publicised personal life, ensuring his story is told precisely as he intends.
