There was once a time when Charlie Sheen was at the top of the television game. “Two and a Half Men” was a hit, and it really seemed like Sheen had turned a new leaf in what could be described as a tumultuous career and life. Well, get ready for a deep dive into that life, because director Andrew Renzi (“Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?”) is bringing that story to a Netflix documentary called “aka Charlie Sheen.”
Synopsis:
Tabloid black hole Charlie Sheen knows what’s been said about him, and he’s finally ready to confess. Directed by Andrew Renzi (Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?), aka Charlie Sheen tracks his upbringing in Malibu to his effortless rise to megastardom — and dramatic fall, all within the public eye. With a stunning clarity earned through seven years of sobriety, Sheen openly speaks about the subjects and events he’s never discussed publicly before. Through extraordinarily candid interviews with his family, friends, and cast members including Denise Richards, Heidi Fleiss, Jon Cryer, Sean Penn, Ramon Estevez, Brooke Mueller, Chris Tucker, and his drug dealer Marco, the most outrageous moments of Sheen’s life are revisited with raw emotion and exceptional warmth, painting a portrait of a flawed man whose penchant for self-destruction is ultimately no match for the ferocious love and forgiveness he inspires in those closest to him.
“aka Charlie Sheen” hits Netflix on September 10th. Watch the trailer now:
