Charlie Sheen is ready to tell all. This week, the Two and a Half Men alum released his tell-all documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, which features interviews not only featuring himself but those close to him, including ex-wife Denise Richards, revisiting his tumultuous ups and downs throughout the year. The two-part documentary is tied to the release of his memoir, The Book of Sheen, in which he revisits countless wild stories — including what led to his first intervention.
Per Page Six, in the new book, Charlie revisits a time in the 1990s he ran into "my old pal Nicolas Cage" while filming the 1990 movie The Rookie, which then "opened the door to a different warehouse of mischief," with a group of friends who dubbed themselves "J-5."

Towards the end of filming the movie, he was invited over to his parents place under the guise that they would be celebrating his dad Martin Sheen's 50th birthday, which instead turned out to be an intervention, with the help of Rob Lowe, who has been outspoken about getting sober in 1990, some years after his breakout as part of the Brat Pack.
Charlie, who was then 24 years old, was then taken to Saint John's hospital in Santa Monica, California to undergo rehabilitation, however he managed to leave for the night, and only returned the following morning.

The Wild Things actress later took to her Instagram and shared clips from the premiere event, including photos of herself and a clip of the former couple sweetly hugging like old friends. She captioned it: "We both looked at each other on the red carpet and just laughed. Charlie asked, 'Is it 2002?' and I said, 'It sure feels like it.' Who would have thought?"

Speaking with People, the Ferris Bueller's Day Off actor spoke about his love life, or lack thereof, in recent years. "My romantic life is as uneventful as it possibly could be. It's been that way for a long time," he shared. While he said romance wasn't tied to his decision to embrace sobriety in 2017, it ended up becoming part of that journey.
