Meanwhile Hello reported that in a recent radio interview, Sheen endorsed West Wing actor Rob Lowe as a replacement for him on Two And A Half Men.
“He a buddy of mine, he’s a beautiful man, he’s a brilliant actor and I
hope he does it and kicks its ass – because I still get paid,” said the
45-year-old.
Asked whether he had any advice should another star step into his shoes, Sheen added: “I recommend making it their own.
“Don’t look at the 177 brilliant episodes I did, ignore the 44 re-runs every week that you can’t avoid, cancel your Sheen app.”
In other Sheen news, he has filmed a clip for Will Ferrell’s Funny Or Die website. It’s due out tomorrow and tntmagazine.com will post it as soon as it hits the web.
