Jon Cryer, the beloved actor who played Alan Harper in the global phenomenon Two and a Half Men, has been left utterly gobsmacked by the internet's latest trip down memory lane.
A clip from a 2013 episode of The View, in which Cryer recounts the bizarre moment his former co-star Charlie Sheen explained his 'tiger blood' comment to him, has exploded online once again. The video has racked up millions of views, leaving a new generation of fans in stitches.
The now-legendary story goes like this: At the height of Sheen's very public meltdown in 2011, he famously declared he had 'tiger blood' and was 'winning'. Puzzled by the bizarre statement, Cryer decided to ask Sheen what he actually meant by it during a tense meeting on set.
Sheen's deadpan response? "It's a term of endearment in the porn industry."
Recounting the story on the talk show, Cryer's impression of his own stunned silence—"I had no follow-up questions"—has become the punchline that launched a thousand memes. The sheer absurdity of the explanation and Cryer's perfectly delivered reaction have cemented the clip as a piece of iconic pop culture history.
The resurgence of this hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdote has sent fans of the show into a nostalgic frenzy, with many taking to social media to share their favourite memories from the peak of the Sheen saga. It serves as a wild reminder of one of television's most tumultuous and unforgettable periods, proving that some stories truly are timeless.
