Crack is okay, if you can manage it socially. So says Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen, and he should know. Then again, considering the type of parties Sheen loves to host, it is also rather important to distinguish which kind of crack the actor is referring to. Despite his addiction to the pornstar bimbo variety, Sheen chose to dwell on the illegal drugs.
This week, a video has been doing the rounds showing Sheen playing the fool in a jokey pep talk to members of the UCLA baseball team. Sheen clarified his controversial drug stance on a radio show this Monday.
"I said stay away from the crack," he began, "which I think is good advice. Unless you can manage it socially. Because if you can manage it socially, go for it, but not a lot of people can, you know."
When teased about his own ability to handle the highly addictive drug, Sheen admitted that he had failed.
"Yeah, yeah, but that kind blew up in my face ... like an exploding crack pipe," he joked.
It’s been a pretty eventful week for the now sober Sheen. After being hospitalised on the back of a 36-hour sex and drugs binge last month, the actor quit rehab in favour of home therapy, and declared himself fit to return to work. But with filming for Two and a Half Men suspended while Sheen battles his demons, the actor showed up to an empty set.
"I went back to work and was banging on the stage door, 'Hello, where is everybody?' I don't know what happened, I guess they're closed," he said.
"I'm a man of my word, I have a contract. They said get your act together and I did, and … I think maybe it's a timing thing, they didn't think it was going to happen this fast.”
Sheen, however, had a word of warning for the producers of the hit show.
"I heal really quickly, but I also unravel really quickly, so get me right now, guys," he said. "Get. Me. Right. Now."
Sheen wasn’t nearly as talkative on the weekend when his proposed plans for a “porn star family” nearly became a reality - just not in the way the actor had intended. The actor’s jaw was said to have hit the floor when his porn pal Kacey Jordan, who Sheen paid handsomely for sex at his marathon binge, texted him to tell him she is pregnant. Luckily for Sheen, Jordan doesn’t think the child is his. In a text, obtained by gossip site TMZ, Jordan wrote:
"Charlie I'm so sorry how things turned out, I want u to know something before it hits the press...I'm pregnant and I don't believe its yours, but I'm going to Oregon to take care of the situation." Phew!
