Charlie Sheen Isn’t Looking For A Hollywood ‘Comeback’ But A ‘Reset’ As He Turns 60

As Charlie Sheen reaches the milestone age of 60, he is reflecting deeply on his journey, his past, and the new path he hopes to carve out for himself. 

This new chapter for the "Two and a Half Men" actor comes with a sense of reform as he seeks to return to Hollywood and redefine his legacy as an actor.

Meanwhile, his personal life continues to draw attention, especially as his two daughters take completely different paths in life.

On September 3, Sheen turns 60, and he has opened up about how he feels stepping into this new age, acknowledging that he has already lived more years than he has left.

In a new interview, Sheen said he feels good about where he is in life, especially when compared to others in his age group.

"But I'm feeling pretty good! Most guys my age, they usually have a bad back or knees. Somehow I dodged that," he said, adding that the only issue he struggles with now is a bad shoulder, for which he takes Advil.

Unlike his scandalous 40s, when he was often caught up in controversies, Sheen now spends more of his time in calm company, often meeting friends for coffee and enjoying a quieter life.

The calm and reflective Sheen we see today is a far cry from the man he once was.

While speaking with People Magazine, he discussed how he plans to delve into his dark past in his debut memoir, "The Book of Sheen," and a Netflix documentary, "AKA Charlie Sheen", both set to be released on September 9 and 10, respectively.

"Most of my 50s were spent apologizing to the people I hurt. I also didn't want to write from a place of being a victim. I wasn't, and I own everything I did. I'm finally telling the stories in the way they actually happened," he revealed.

Sheen recalled how his father, Martin Sheen, often took him and his siblings to movie sets. After high school, he joined the family business, quickly landing roles in films like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", which catapulted him to fame.

But fame came with temptations, sex, scandals, and reckless behavior that he admits he wasn't prepared for. He lived with the constant fear that it would all disappear, so he indulged as much as he could.

"There was always that voice of doubt, that it was only a matter of time before it all went away, so enjoy it as heartily as you can," Sheen confessed. And as his fame grew brighter, so did his scandals.

Sheen's downward spiral peaked in 2011 when his addiction and erratic behavior cost him his role on "Two and a Half Men." But by 2017, he turned his life around, embracing sobriety and striving to be the kind of father his children could admire.

Even so, he admits the most challenging part has been forgiving himself. "Forgiveness is still an evolving thing," he stated, explaining that he still gets "shame shivers" sometimes, but he's making progress.

Yet through it all, one passion has remained constant: his love for acting as he reveals he has plans to be back on the screen. Far from seeing it as a mere "comeback," Sheen views this as a chance to rebuild his legacy on his own terms. In his words:

“I’m not calling all of this a comeback. I’m calling it a reset. I’m just living for the next moment, whatever that turns out to be.”

After years of being defined by scandals, Sheen's last major acting role was in 2017 in an episode of "Bookie." Now, he is ready to reclaim his place in Hollywood.

Part of his reset means not letting distractions, like his recent clash with neighbor Electra Schrock, who allegedly tried to strangle him and vandalized his property, derail his focus.

According to The Blast, Sheen is choosing to rise above. An insider noted the former notorious Sheen "has matured," adding, "Charlie is happy and not stressed out over the incident with his neighbor. He is confident in what the cops and court have done so far." 

Sheen is now focused on his health, personal growth, and setting the record straight with his career.

As Sheen works on rebuilding himself, his daughters with ex-wife Denise Richards have been making headlines for their contrasting life choices.

As reported by The Blast, Lola, 19, recently revealed that she turned to faith after hitting rock bottom while battling depression.

"I just accepted my life was going to be like that forever and thought I would never genuinely laugh again, until I met not only my savior but my best friend, Jesus," she wrote in a heartfelt social media post. She has since launched a faith-based podcast titled "Heavenly Bonded."

On the other hand, her elder sister Sami has pursued a modeling career after joining "OnlyFans." While Sheen admits he is not thrilled about her decision, he has chosen to guide her with wisdom instead of criticism. Offering fatherly advice, he encouraged her to remain classy and protect her integrity.
