Charlie Sheen’s TV crew say he was a problem on set

In contrast to Charlie Sheen‘s claims that he was completely professional on the Two and a Half Men set, crew members who worked with him say otherwise. Several crew members talked to the Daily Beast, saying that after he married Brooke Mueller, his behavior on set became a problem. Despite being the only cast member to get special treatment, such as being allowed to smoke on set and not having to show up on Monday for the script read through, he complained constantly. “He hated being there and he’d tell us,” one source said. “He’d complain about his character’s costume and just being there in general.” Sheen apparently grew more and more problematic after he trashed a New York City hotel room last October. “He started not showing up for rehearsals or he’d come very late. I honestly can’t remember any day during that time that it didn’t seem like he’d had a rough night the night before. The writers were having to write around him a lot,” another insider explained. “They had him sitting on a couch a lot, and the focus was more on Jon Cryer and (Angus T. Jones). Charlie was forgetting his lines and he never did that before. He got progressively worse.” One crew member says Sheen would often flub his lines during the live taping each week. “The audience laughed nervously and I remember it being so uncomfortable. It was painful to see.” Another member of the crew says Sheen’s unprofessional attitude left many crew members feeling “a lot of anger toward” him. “We all got burned for a bunch of money but it’s not the end of the world. We don’t wish terrible things for him,” the source told the Daily Beast. “I just don’t ever want to see him again. I definitely don’t want to work with him.”
