Charlie Sheen – författare

For the first time, Charlie Sheen – the star of Platoon, Wall Street, Major League and Two and a Half Men – writes the story of his extraordinary life in an unfiltered memoir.‘We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former.’Charlie Sheen shouldn’t be alive to write this book. But in The Book of Sheen, the movie and TV star, who has defied the odds, finally presents his story, in his own words. Charlie Sheen was born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet. He grew up on film sets – from his father’s all over the world, to his own in Malibu. There, he made ambitious Super 8s, with a roster of friends who went on to become household names, including his brother Emilio, Sean and Chris Penn and the Lowe brothers.Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a young soldier in Platoon and an ethically compromised trader in Wall Street. But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in Spin City and Two and a Half Men, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities.Now sober, Sheen delivers a clear-eyed narrative of his highs and lows with humour, candour and a vivid, captivating writing style that is uniquely his. The Book of Sheen reads like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life – yet it is all true.

CHARLIE SHEEN - Der »bad boy« Hollywoods:... ein Leben zwischen den ExzessenObszön und liebenswert, durchgeknallt und hochsensibel – Charlie Sheen hat in den letzten 30 Jahren für mehr Schlagzeilen gesorgt als jeder andere amerikanische Schauspieler. Drogenexzesse, Affären mit Pornodarstellerinnen und Callgirls, Gewaltausbrüche und Konflikte mit dem Gesetz stehen im Gegensatz zu schauspielerischen Glanzleistungen in den unterschiedlichsten Rollen.Sheen brillierte in dem Anti-Vietnamkriegs-Drama Platoon ebenso wie in der humorvollen Sitcom Two And A Half Men , produziert von Chuck Lorre, dem Schöpfer von The Big Bang Theory .Sein Arbeitspensum ist legendär, was nur noch von seinem schlechten Ruf übertroffen wird. In seiner Autobiografie erzählt der sich zu seiner HIV-Infektion bekennende Liebling der Klatschpresse von Abstürzen, dem alltäglichen Chaos und cineastischen Triumphen. Es ist eine Geschichte des Kampfes mit der Sucht und den eigenen Dämonen, denen er sich immer wieder stellen muss. Wer auf "political correctness" hofft, wird enttäuscht werden. Stattdessen erwartet den Leser eine Achterbahnfahrt durch emotionale Abgründe, gekrönt von einer mit viel Humor gewürzten Selbsterkenntnis.

Maailmantähden rehelliset ja vauhdikkaat muistelmat.Charlie Sheen kertoo nyt ensimmäistä kertaa omin sanoin poikkeuksellisesta elämästään. Hänen ei pitäisi olla enää elossa ottaen huomioon, mitä hänelle on tapahtunut. Kirjassa kerrotaan, miten hän on uhmannut todennäköisyyksiä useamman kerran.Hän on näyttelijä Martin Sheenin poika, joka kasvoi isänsä elokuvien kuvauspaikoilla. Hän nousi näyttelijänä suureen suosioon 1980-luvulla Platoon ja Wall Street -elokuvien myötä. Vaikka hän siirtyi myöhemmin menestyksekkäästi televisioon päärooleihin, hän ajautui sivuraiteille elämässään.Nyt raitistuneena Sheen kertoo uskomattoman tarinansa, jota voi lukea kuin romaania, mutta kaikki on totta.
