Your childhood is SO important when it comes to becoming a well-rounded individual! Seriously!
We absolutely believe it when we hear that an ex co-star of Charlie Sheen‘s believes that his ‘issues’ have come from an absolute ‘madhouse’ of a childhood — we mean, it takes a special kind of person to get through things like Charlie’s been through!
That ex co-star? HOLLAND TAYLOR! Here’s what she said:
“Anybody who’s spent time with Charlie likes him He’s as smart a person as you’ll ever find.
He grew up with a movie star father [Martin Sheen] who was gallivanting around the world. [Today] Martin is a big AA person and very public about it. But back in the day, Martin was a young, crazy, brilliant talent — always gone, always traveling, sometimes bringing his kids along. It was just a madhouse way to grow up.”
The kicker that made sure Charlie Sheen’s childhood had a profound effect on who he is now? According to Holland:
“Charlie himself was a teenage movie star with hundreds of thousands of dollars in his pocket at any given moment. It sounds great to a lot of people, but it’s not that easy to mature and to have a regular life. If you grow up in [Hollywood], you’re going to be affected by the atmosphere. And if you go into acting a young age, watch out.”
We’ve seen it happen before — and we’re seriously impressed that Charlie had been able to manage himself enough to end up with a very lucrative adult career as well!
We just wish he were a little more grounded. You know, for HIS kids’ sake!
