Charlie Sheen has lived life very close to the edge. In the 1990s, he was bedevilled by controversies around drug use, being hospitalized for cocaine use in 1995, admitting spending $50,000 at Heidi Fleiss’ brothel, and even suffering a stroke after a cocaine overdose in 1998.
Several stints in rehab followed, but his career skyrocketed with his lead role in the hugely popular sitcom Two and a Half Men. Then it all fell apart, and Sheen began making erratic rants about having “tiger blood” and boasting about the prodigious amounts of cocaine he was consuming.
