“I’m really enjoying the new Charlie Sheen documentary on @netflix. If you fancy a break from sombre news, this is really good. Charlie has had and still has his struggles, but he has kept his sense of humour and is a very interesting character,” wrote another fan.

Aka Charlie Sheen Plot
The documentary film features Charlie Sheen candidly revisiting some of the pivotal moments of his life, from growing up in Malibu to his on-screen glory and public breakdown. After seven years of being sober, the actor and those closest to him revisit some of these moments with a mix of humour and regret.
From his unconventional upbringing, losing his virginity to an escort at the age of 15, HIV diagnosis to his episodes of drug abuse and domestic violence – the documentary did not shy away from capturing the honest portrayal of Charlie Sheen’s life.
