Is There Hope For Charlie Sheen?

Whenever you think of celebrities, you probably think of talented actors, singers, and authors who work hard at their craft and who serve as role models for children and people who aspire to walk in their footsteps.  Unfortunately, however, the news is also filled with stories of celebrities who make horrendous mistakes, from verbal tirades to drunk driving, to locking porn stars in hotel room closets.  Let’s take a look at just what went wrong for Charlie Sheen.

Looking at Charlie Sheen’s history, and watching his old movies from the video store, you’ll see a portrait emerge of an actor whose career has been filled with promise and second chances.  Starting as a young child actor, he quickly rose to fame and has been working hard in the business for multiple decades now.

 

Yet his name rarely conjures up the image of the funnyman from the ‘Hot Shots’ movies or the crazy brother from ‘Two and a Half Men,’ because it is his personal life that seems to get him the most recognition.  What has made Charlie Sheen so different from other celebrities in similar situations?

It is common knowledge that Charlie Sheen has a big substance abuse problem, and like many other celebrities, his battles with addiction and sobriety are always fought in the public spotlight.  While we can’t blame the media or the public for his failures, it goes without saying that there are always people around Sheen waiting for him to fail.  This is common for celebrities and very difficult to deal with. 

 

We may never know what happened to trigger Sheen’s addictions or even what caused his most recent breakdown, but he is still one of America’s favorite celebrities and we still hold out hope that he will get it together, and one day start to heal himself… and his acting career.
