TWO AND A HALF MEN CREATOR PRAISES PROFESSIONAL SHEEN
The TV mogul behind CHARLIE SHEEN’s sitcom TWO AND A HALF MEN has praised the troubled actor for his professionalism on set - insisting the star never lets his "personal issues" affect his work.
Sheen’s tumultuous private life has hit headlines on a regular basis throughout this year (10) after a Christmas Day (09) fight with his now-estranged wife Brooke Mueller left him facing criminal charges.
The actor subsequently took some time off from the show to battle addiction issues in rehab and he became front page news once again last month (Oct10) when police were called to investigate reports he trashed his New York hotel room. The night ended with the star being admitted to hospital after allegedly suffering "an adverse reaction to medication".
But the show’s creator Chuck Lorre insists he treasures his lead actor despite his highly-publicised problems, because he "built" the whole series around Sheen.
And Lorre is adamant the actor never brings his private problems into the workplace.
He tells the Hollywood Reporter, "We built a show around him… He’s a worker amongst workers. His personal issues don’t come onto the stage, and he’s been a good partner for a long time."
