Charlie Sheen wrote about Chris Penn “From Love” for Sean Penn

Charlie Sheen looks back on the influential relationships of his life.

I spoke with David Duchofney at the event with his new memoirs, Sheen’s book, Sheen’s 60-year-old Sheen on September 8th at 92nd Avenue Y in New York.

“We found it as a way to emulate it, imitate it and copy what our parents were doing,” Sheen, son of actors Martin and Janet Sheen, explained to Ducobugne. “The two houses that kind of bouncing off – Casa Penn and our place – are where everything really happened.”

Sheen joked that he “didn’t believe how bad these early homemade films were” (many clips will be released for the first time in the Sheen’s new Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen).

“We didn’t really have the resources to do substantive productions,” the actor said. “We were dependent on what dad kicked in, or what Penn’s parents (actress) Irene and (director) Leo, what they kicked. Essentially our prop division was blank guns, blanks, blood.”

Sheen also spoke in the book about the importance of respect for his early death in 2006.

“Many of that was written out of love for Sean,” Sheen said. “I wanted Sean to read how much his brother meant to me, and I wanted to go to Sean and read his stuff while I was making it.

Sheen’s book covers the early years of the actor before he began his Hollywood career. This includes film roles like Ferris Buhler’s Holiday and Apocalypse, as well as comedies like Two and a half men and Spin City.

“Writing a book was the most challenging job I’ve ever had,” Sheen said at the event. “And we’ll tell you what’s most rewarding.”

The now sober scene from eight years speaks to his struggles with addiction in memoirs and his progress.

“I’m still getting what I call ‘trembling shudders.’ The actor told people for a recent cover story. “They’re getting far away in between, so I think it’s an advancement. What’s interesting about making corrections is that most people say, ‘Hey, we’re nice people, but I hope you forgive yourself too.”

Sheen also said that by releasing his memoirs and documentaries, “it’s not about setting the record straight or correcting all his past mistakes.”

“Most of my 50s have been spent apologizing to those I hurt,” he continued. “I also didn’t want to write from where I was a victim. I’m not, I own everything I did, it’s just me.

Sheen’s books are now available wherever books are on sale.
