The son of Apocalypse Now star Martin Sheen, Sheen has a tawdry history of alcohol and drug abuse as well as marital problems caused by his use of prostitutes.
Claims that it was an open secret in some circles that he was HIV positive were fuelled last November, when he was mentioned in the hack of confidential e-mails belonging to Sony Pictures. In one e-mail, a studio executive chatted to colleagues about whether Sheen would be able to meet contractual commitments to his TV series because “it’s hard to be a drug addict and HIV positive and do 40 episodes a year”.
In 2006, Sheen’s ex-wife, former Bond Girl Denise Richards admitted in divorce court papers she had rushed to a clinic to test for HIV – she wasn’t infected – after learning he was seeing prostitutes during their marriage. Sheen’s third marriage to actress Brooke Mueller lasted little more than two years, ending with her seeking a restraining order against him.
He then started living with a porn star, Bree Olson and model Natalie Kenly, who he dubbed his “goddesses”. His next “goddess” was former Penthouse Pet of the Month Georgia Jones, and then Sheen briefly became engaged to another porn star, Brett Rossi.
His five children are from his marriages to model Donna Peele, Richards and Mueller, and other relationships. – Reuters and Daily Mail
