Nearly a year after the release of his revealing documentary, Charlie Sheen has shared a surprising update regarding his relationship with former co-star Jon Cryer. Despite the two sharing the screen for eight seasons on the massive sitcom hit Two and a Half Men, Sheen admitted this week that the two have still not personally reconnected.
The documentary, which delved deep into the actor’s high-profile career and personal struggles, featured extensive interviews with Cryer. In the film, Cryer provided a compassionate yet raw look at the chaos that unfolded during their time together. While Sheen has praised the Jon Cryer documentary comments as being “dead on” and insightful, that public appreciation hasn’t translated into a private phone call.
At a recent industry event in Los Angeles, Sheen confessed that while he often tells the media he intends to reach out, he has yet to follow through. The actor cited a simple, human reason for the delay: “I don’t like to bother people.”
During a panel discussion for the project, Sheen offered a mix of praise and his trademark wit. He expressed immense gratitude that his former colleagues “stepped up” to participate in the documentary when they could have easily declined.
However, he couldn’t resist a playful jab at Cryer’s absence from the event. He joked that his former screen brother might still be holding onto a “grudge” from their public falling out over fifteen years ago. Despite the humor, Sheen maintained that he holds no ill will, calling Cryer a “lovely man” and expressing hope that a conversation will eventually happen.
While fans have long held out hope for a professional reunion, the current status remains a stalemate of polite distance. For now, the bridge between the two actors remains built on public praise rather than private reconciliation. Whether Sheen will finally “bother” his old friend remains to be seen.
