Charlie Sheen, 60, clarified comments he made about having “sex with men.” Sheen first opened up about his homosexual experiences in his memoir, The Book of Sheen, and in his Netflix series, aka Charlie Sheen. “When people say ‘sex with men,’ you immediately think of, like, butt sex. Sorry to be graphic, but that’s kind of where the mind goes, right?” Sheen said in a Wednesday interview on In Depth with Grant Bensinger. Sheen clarified “it wasn’t that,” without providing any further intimate details beyond that “it wasn’t full-fledged.” He added that he’s not ashamed. “But it’s not a shame thing,” he said. “It’s just kind of like a, ‘Huh, [sex with men] is a bit of a broad category.” Sheen has famously struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. He said that his homosexual experiences never took place without consuming “insane amounts of crack.” The Two and a Half Men star has five children and has been married three times—to Donna Peele, Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller.
