Actor Charlie Sheen has been celibate for eight years, he revealed in an interview ahead of the release of both a new memoir and a documentary exploring his life. They delve into the Two and a Half Men star’s journey to sobriety, via the pitfalls of addiction and being diagnosed with HIV, to where he is now, a proud father who turned 60 last week. He told Page Six there’s “not enough room in my car” for a relationship, and when he was asked if that meant celibacy, he added, “If I don’t have a girlfriend and I’m not paying for it, then I think the math is pretty simple.” The Platoon star added, “Oh my gosh, for so long [sex] was all I cared about, or it was near the top of the priority list.
