Charlie Sheen’s Past Parties Had 1 Very Important Rule: ‘No One Can Die’

Charlie Sheen didn’t have many rules for his past parties — but there was something he told guests before they entered.

“At my parties, I always said, ‘Park your judgement at the door. No pain in the bedroom. And no one can die,’” Sheen, 59, recalled in an interview with People, published on Tuesday, September 2. “Those were good rules.”

The actor detailed his high-profile partying lifestyle, explaining what led him on this path.

“There was always that voice of doubt, that it was only a matter of time before it all went away, so to enjoy it as heartily as you can,” Sheen said.

Sheen is gearing up to turn 60 on Wednesday, September 3, but he’s also preparing for the release of his Book of Sheen memoir on Tuesday, September 9, and Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, set to be released on Wednesday, September 10.

Neither project is about Sheen “setting the record straight” and “righting all the wrongs of my past,” he explained.

“Most of my 50s were spent apologizing to the people I hurt. I also didn’t want to write from the place of being a victim. I wasn’t, and I own everything I did. It’s just me, finally telling the stories in the way they actually happened,” the actor continued. “The stories I can remember, anyway.”

Sheen made it clear that he’s “not” calling this next chapter “a comeback” for his acting career.

“I’m calling it a reset,” he explained. “I’m just living for the next moment, whatever that turns out to be.”

The Two and a Half Men alum made headlines for his past addiction struggles throughout the 2000s and has experienced several rehab stays. He was fired from the show, in which he starred alongside Jon Cryer, in 2011. Sheen has since adjusted to a different lifestyle, telling People that he’s been sober since 2017.

“You have to be willing,” he said of getting sober. “I keep a [mental list] of the worst, most shameful things I’ve done, and I can look at that in my head if I feel like having a drink.”

Aside from alcohol struggles, Sheen has also experienced a past with drugs. He was hospitalized for a cocaine overdose in 1998. He confirmed years later that he injected the drug at the time.

“Whether it’s true or not, I like to think the next hit would kill me,” he told People.
