What Is with Charlie Sheen’s Public Persona?


He believes he has tiger blood running through his veins. He is winning in life. He has two goddesses that live with him and occasionally babysit his two young twin boys. If you have not heard already, these thoughts are directly associated with Charlie Sheen. Sheen was recently fired from television’s top rated comedy show “Two and Half Men.” The show not only allowed the troubled actor to regain his status in Hollywood but it also permitted him to be the highest paid actor on television. Sheen and CBS are currently in a dispute on whether the network had a reasonable argument for letting him go. Every media outlet in the past couple of weeks has featured stories focusing on Sheen and his frequent erratic behavior. Sheen himself has allowed the media into his home to see what takes place behind closed doors. He appears to have lost weight. He tends to ramble incoherently and stated that he cured his battle with drug use and alcohol with the power from his own mind. It seems the more bizarre Charlie Sheen behaves, the more the public takes notice and wants to see more. It has been reported that the unemployed actor has booked appearances across country to discuss his newly found theories and ideologies. Many of these appearances have already sold out. What is apparent is that Sheen has gone through a severe transition in the last couple of weeks and should the public be partly to blame for encouraging his continued popularity? Has Sheen gone from being famous to being infamous? He has always been known for being a bad boy but should not his struggle with addiction be the main focus than his silly antics?
