Charlie Sheen shocked the interviewer when she revealed that the Mexican cartel had refused to buy cocaine.
“Has the Cartel Cut You Off?” Interviewer Amelia Adams asked the “Two and a half men” alumni on Sunday’s “60 Minutes” episode of Australia’s “60 Minutes.”
“They did, they did,” he confirmed.
“They never saw anyone gain such weight,” the 60-year-old added, referring to the amount of grams he demands.
“The other people they were delivering that weight were dealers. They thought I was handling it aside.”
Adams then asked the actor if it was “the truth that (he) was smoking a seven-gram rock of crack cocaine.”
“Well, we’ve never taken it out and put it on scale,” Sheen replied. “But that was the amount cooked to make it into its shape.”
The “Platoon” star said he once joked.
“That’s a bit weird, isn’t it?” he asked Adams before agreeing, “I’m lucky to be alive.”
Sheen’s confession comes after he is opened about his drinking journey in his new memoir, The Book of Sheen.
In the book, the Golden Globe winner praised his daughter Sami for helping him quit drugs and alcohol in 2017 after decades of abuse.
He recalled the time he was scheduled to pick up the model from the appointment, but had to ask a friend to drive when he couldn’t settle in time.
“Sam was very quiet,” Sheen wrote. “I didn’t have to be see-through to know exactly what she was thinking.”
“Why isn’t your dad driving? Again?” He was thinking about the 21-year-old now. “Why aren’t the only two people in the car not like they used to be? When will the moment come back? When will Dad come back? I miss him.”
The “Ferris Buhler Holiday” star claimed that “there was only one thing that felt worse than betrayal (his) and that (his) child had failed.”
He recalled consuming “two bariums and three beers (drinking)” the next day.
Sheen shares his ex-wife, Dennis Richards, with Sami and Laura, 20 years old.
The only fan model was alienated from her famous father and admitted in April that “(her) first 13 years of life” was “pretty bad” in an episode of “Dennis Richards and Her Wild Things.”
