At the time, Sheen was facing a series of personal struggles, but a decade after his departure, Sheen said he regretted the way in which he behaved. In a bitter public feud with Lorre,Sheen hurled antisemitic insults and called the sitcom creator a “turd” and a “clown.”
“There was 55 different ways for me to handle that situation, and I chose number 56,” he toldYahoo! Entertainmentin February 2021. “And so, you know, I think the growth for me post-meltdown or melt forward or melt somewhere — however you want to label it — it has to start with absolute ownership of my role in all of it,” Sheen explained. “And it was desperately juvenile.”
On the eve ofTwo and a Half Men’s series finale nearly eight years ago, Lorre addressed speculation that Sheen would return for a final bow, saying at the time that he was grateful for theSpin Cityalum’s role in the show’s long-running success.
“It would be inappropriate not to acknowledge our success with Charlie and how grateful I am and we are,” theBig Bang Theorycreator said at a press conference. “I have nothing but good feelings for those eight and half years.”
