It sounds like a match made in heaven: Charlie Sheen and Playboy magazine. With his new FX comedy "Anger Management" debuting next week, Sheen is making the usual media rounds, and we've scored a sneak peek at the extensive interview he just gave to the venerable men's magazine. Sheen opens up about everything from prostitutes to fatherhood in the July/August issue of Playboy (on newsstands June 29) -- and we've got an exclusive first look for you right here.
In the interview, Sheen goes over the same apologies we've already heard from him for last year's surreal media blitz that led to his firing from "Two and a Half Men," saying he "was in total denial." But he also sheds some light on how his life has changed since declaring himself a "rock star from Mars," on his one big regret from the "Men" fiasco, and why he's planning to retire after "Anger Management" ends. Here are some of the highlights:
- Well, we don't have to worry about Sheen having any self-esteem issues. Even though he's no longer crowing about his "Adonis DNA" (a phrase he now calls "just stupid"), the actor says that his three-decade career proves he's just wired a little differently than you and me. "If you’re special, you’re tortured. I know that sounds arrogant, but you can’t not be special and have a 30-year career. You can’t not be a little different from others and be successful for three decades. Your mind has to work a little differently than the average brain.” Yeah, we don't think anyone's arguing that your brain works a little differently than ours, Charlie.
- Everybody wants to party with Charlie Sheen... which he means he now has to be extra-careful who he lets through the front door. "We take phones and purses at my house, and people have to sign s---," he reveals. "I’m not living in the Pentagon, but I’ve been burned enough to have to take precautions. It’s either that or choose a different type of woman or party guest, because you never know.” Hmmm, doesn't sound like he's willing to choose a different type of party guest. In fact...
- Though his penchant for prostitutes has led to some infamous run-ins with the law, Sheen's not ready to give up that particular vice just yet. But he does sound a little disillusioned by the whole process. "I’m not saying I’ll never be with a prostitute again. But it’s hard. Parts of it are soulless and parts of it are nourishing. It’s always a roll of the dice.”
