A Hollywood bad boy is planning to spill all about his drug-fuelled past and sex addiction in an upcoming documentary on Netflix.

According to the show’s trailer, ‘nothing’ will be off limits – but according to insiders, his decision to air his dirty laundry in public hasn’t gone down too well with his family.

Insiders say Martin Sheen refused to get involved in son Charlie’s two-part docuseries because it’s all too much for him to handle.

‘Charlie’s doing this because he’s desperate for closure,’ a source tells us. 

‘He feels terrible over what he put his father through; he has so much guilt and he still gets teary thinking about it. That’s where father and son disagree. Martin’s not too keen on Charlie laying it all out in vivid detail about his past addiction to drugs and prostitutes. He loves his son dearly but disagrees with him. To Martin, this is a private family matter. He didn’t deprive him the right to make a documentary, but he didn’t want to be involved either. Charlie gives a very graphic account of his shenanigans. Martin’s not going to disown him or anything, but the fact is he’s an old school guy and very religious. He doesn’t like dirty laundry aired in public.’

The documentary – titled aka Charlie Sheen – will premiere on 10th September, one day after the release of his memoir. It will coincide with the Mad Men actor’s 60th birthday on 3rd September.

Now almost eight years sober, Charlie will talk about the ‘suffocating shame’ he’s experienced and how he experimented with ‘everything’ during drug addiction. 

‘When you got a lot of shame about a lot of stuff… Shame is suffocating,’ he confesses in the trailer. ‘I lit the fuse, you know, and my life turns into everything it wasn’t supposed to be. The stuff that I plan on sharing, I had made a sacred vow to only reveal to a therapist.’

In a teary admission, Charlie (real name Carlos Estévez) is also heard talking about letting down his Emmy-winning father with his wild antics. 

Wiping away tears, he says, ‘I can’t imagine being my dad. I really hurt the people I love.’

Our source adds, ‘Charlie knows he can’t erase the damage he’s done over the years, but he wants people to see all the work he’s doing to change, and he wants to make an on the record to everyone he’s hurt. 

He made so many mistakes and wronged so many people when he was in his addiction, he wants to make amends on a grand scale and since his screw-ups were so public, he feels like his apologies should be just as public. 

He’s grateful that so many of his loved ones were willing to participate in this, really his dad was the only hold out.’

In one scene, Charlie embraces his 20-year-old daughter Lola Sheen, who tells the camera, ‘You can’t really have a relationship with someone going through addiction’.

Viewers also hear from the star’s childhood friend Sean Penn, who recalls, ‘He started experimenting with um… everything. Now, Charlie’s sober. He’s going to tell you the truth.’

The documentary also features his former drug dealer Marco, who shockingly reveals, ‘When Charlie said that he was smoking seven-gram [crack cocaine] rocks, he was smoking seven-gram rocks.’

In 2011, Sheen was fired from his lucrative acting gig on CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, in which he played Charlie Harper, after his third stint in rehab in 12 months.

Two years later, he appeared on Katie Couric’s talk show and revealed why he was let go.

‘I think I just started partying too hard. I was having way too much fun,’ he said.

Even Sheen’s second ex-wife Denise Richards, third ex-wife Brooke Mueller and showrunner Chuck Lorre, who he notoriously fell out with, make an appearance, as well as his Two and a Half Men co-star Jon Cryer, his Money Talks co-star Chris Tucker and big brother Ramón Estévez.

But those noticeably absent from the line-up include his 85-year-old father, his eldest brother Emilio Estévez, and his estranged 21-year-old daughter Sami Sheen.

Our source continues, ‘It’s painful for Charlie that his dad refused, because his opinion matters more than anyone’s, but at the same time he understands. Martin has spent decades picking up the pieces after Charlie’s disasters and it’s left him drained.

He’s incredibly happy that Charlie’s finally sobered up and has his act together and they’ve had plenty of heart to hearts in private about it, but the idea of making such a personal moment public is horrifying to Martin. It’s just not how he’s wired. He supports Charlie and he always will, but he’s not going to sit down in front of a crew and pick through the wreckage of the past, he finds it embarrassing and unnecessary.

Charlie is trying to be respectful of that, even though it’s a disappointment because he was really hoping his dad would stand by him for this. But as much as Martin loves his son, he’s got his own way of doing things.

He’s in his 80’s and feels he’s earned the right to live without dredging up every nightmare he’s lived through. That’s not to say he isn’t proud of Charlie’s progress, he just doesn’t see why he needs to bring up all the dark stuff again, he wishes they could leave it in the past.’
