Charlie Sheen clarified his recent comments about hooking up with men in the height of his drug addiction.
The actor explained on the âIn Depth with Graham Bensingerâ podcast Wednesday that sex is a âbroad category,â claiming his encounters werenât as âgraphicâ as some may assume.
The Golden Globe winner noted that those watching his âaka Charlie Sheenâ documentary last month may have âimmediatelyâ thought of intercourse when they heard his confession.
âI donât want to be like, âOK, I did this thing, but this and that part of it didnât happen.â But it didnât,â the âTwo and a Half Menâ alum insisted. âI donât know that that matters.â
Sheen doubled down on the hookups not being âfull-fledged.â
He added, âThey say you experiment in college, you know? I never went to college, so maybe that explains it.â
The Emmy nominee spoke to People in September about how âfâking liberatingâ it felt to speak transparently about âflip[ping] the menu overâ in his past.
âA train didnât come through the side of the restaurant,â he said of making his admissions publicly. âA fâking piano didnât fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me.â
Sheen, additionally, set the record straight on âwhat startedâ him hooking up with men â his crack addiction.
âThatâs where it was born, or sparked,â the âPlatoonâ star recalled to the outlet. âAnd in whatever chunks of time that I was off the pipe, [I was] trying to navigate that, trying to come to terms with it.â
Sheen remembered asking himself, âWhere did that come from? ⊠Why did that happen?â
Eventually, however, he decided to adopt a âso what?â mentality about the experience since âlife goes on.â
He quipped, âSome of it was weird. A lot of it was fâking fun.â
Sheen, who contracted HIV and went public with his diagnosis in 2015, spilled numerous secrets in both his documentary and his memoir, âThe Book of Sheen.â
In the latter, the âRed Dawnâ star reflected on his virginity loss, his near-decade of celibacy and more.
