Charlie Sheen Opens Up About Current Status With Jon Cryer

Charlie Sheen is reflecting on where his friendship with Jon Cryer currently stands following the release of his 2025 documentary series.

Though Cryer appeared in the project Aka Charlie Sheen, the 60-year-old actor revealed in a recent interview with People that they haven't managed to reconnect since the series dropped. "I don't like to bother people," Sheen explained.

Still, Sheen expressed optimism about a potential reconciliation, suggesting that Cryer "would be open" to him reaching out. Sheen acknowledged a pattern of his own making, noting that he tells journalists he'll contact Cryer and then doesn't follow through.

"Jon's a lovely man and a very talented guy," Sheen said, offering his praise for his former co-star. He also emphasized his appreciation for Cryer's decision to participate in the documentary, calling it "very sweet" and "very cool."

During a panel discussion about the project, Sheen elaborated on his gratitude toward the cast members who contributed to the series. "It was very sweet, very cool that everybody showed up like they did, because they could have easily said, 'Go f–k yourself. I'm not interested. I lived it. I don't need to talk about it again,'" he shared. "And I would have been, 'OK, that's fine.' But they didn't, and they stepped up."

Sheen also discussed his broader feelings about documenting his life story through multiple mediums. He expressed relief that his narrative has been captured both in the documentary and in his memoir The Book of Sheen, describing the final products as "told beautifully, visually and, hopefully, decently."

He highlighted the unique strengths of each format, noting that certain moments required the visual medium to fully resonate with audiences. "There's stuff in the book that's not in the doc and vice versa, because there are things I couldn't capture with the written word that [director Andrew Renzi] did visually, because some things you just have to see to feel it," Sheen explained. "And there were some stories I couldn't tell well enough on camera that I knew I could tell through my pen."
