Charlie Sheen's Biography
Charlie Sheen is a famous American actor and writer. Despite being the son of acclaimed Hollywood actor Martin Sheen, Charlie still had to work hard to break into the film industry and build his own successful career. Net worth: $10 million.
Childhood and adolescence
Charlie was born to acclaimed Hollywood actor Martin Sheen and actress-producer Janet Estévez (née Templeton). Martin's real name is Ramón Gerard Antonio Estévez, which he changed to honor Catholic archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Martin named his son Carlos Irwin at birth, but Charlie followed his father's lead and adopted the stage name we know today. That's how audiences know him today.

Acting Career
In 1979, Martin was filming in the Philippines and brought Charlie along to the set. This experience changed everything for the aspiring actor. He landed a small role as an extra in Francis Ford Coppola's epic war drama "Apocalypse Now." The production was notoriously difficult—leading actor Marlon Brando arrived on set overweight and unprepared, while Martin suffered a near-fatal heart attack. Still, appearing in such an epic project sealed Charlie's fate and opened doors to the film world.

In 1987, Charlie landed another Stone-directed film, the drama «Wall Street», where he starred alongside Michael Douglas. Charlie planned to star in the upcoming Stone's biographical war drama «Born on the Fourth of July» and was even approved for the leading role, but Stone changed his mind at the last second and chose Tom Cruise instead.






In November 2015, Charlie Sheen publicly revealed that he was HIV positive and later confirmed that he had AIDS. The revelation sparked major controversy as numerous ex-partners claimed Charlie had never disclosed his health condition to them and threatened to sue him.
