Charlie Sheen has opened up about his 'surreal' reunion with Chuck Lorre, the creator of Two And A Half Men, after a decade-long feud. The actor was fired from the hit sitcom in 2011 following a public row with Lorre, triggered by Sheen's erratic behaviour and drug use.
Sheen described the anxiety he felt before their first conversation in 12 years as a 'tsunami'. However, Lorre was 'lovely and engaging', making the experience 'healing' and 'surreal'. Sheen told The Post: 'It was like a really fun dream you’re having... It was so refreshing and liberating. I felt like so much weight had been lifted.'
The reunion came about when Lorre reached out to Sheen about joining his new Max series, Bookie, an eight-episode comedy premiering on 30 November. Sheen plays a fictionalised version of himself with gambling debt in rehab. He said: 'When we were on the set together it was exciting and it was fulfilling.'
Lorre confirmed to The Post that there are no hard feelings, saying their long working relationship involved much fun and it was time to 'bury the hatchet'. Sheen added that he expressed regret to Lorre, who replied: 'It’s time to move past all that.'
