Charlie Sheen, the 47-year-old star of Anger Management, has disclosed that his 28-year-old daughter, Cassandra Estevez, and her husband are set to welcome their first child.
He joked, ‘Me as a grandfather, Dave… I don’t know. It’s like the world’s going to crack in half.’
However, Sheen quickly noted, ‘It’s fabulous. It’s just not a title I’m ready to adopt.’
Cassandra, born when Sheen was just 19, is his daughter with high school girlfriend Paula Profit. In 2010, he gave her away at her wedding to high school sweetheart Casey Huffman.
Sheen, in addition to his eldest daughter, has two other daughters, Sam, eight, and Lola, seven, with his second wife Denise Richards, and three-year-old twins, Bob and Max, with third wife Brooke Mueller.
During his interview with Letterman, Sheen also touched on his infamous meltdown in 2011, an incident that resulted in his firing from the popular TV show Two and a Half Men.
Although many believed substance abuse was the root cause, Sheen refuted claims that drugs were responsible for the chaos.
When asked if crack cocaine played a role in the meltdown, Charlie expressed a desire that it were the case, suggesting that the underlying issues were far more profound than just substance abuse.
‘Here’s the confusing part. I wish it was crack cocaine. I wish it was an ocean of vodka, a bathtub full of pills,’ he elaborated.
‘It was just my brain was kind of separated into itself. I just had to take a stand for what I know was right.’
Charlie acknowledged that substances had previously caused issues for him.
‘Not during the meltdown,’ he clarified. ‘During the previous 30 years of my life.’
Fired from Two and a Half Men in March 2011, Sheen, who now appears in Anger Management, publicly criticized the show’s creator Chuck Lorre over the ensuing months through various platforms including stages, Twitter, and the press.
Throughout that period, Sheen exhibited erratic behavior, sparking numerous rumors regarding extensive drug use.
Ashton Kutcher, 34, subsequently succeeded Sheen in the role, continuing to play it to this day.
