    After a stream of incoherent interviews with what seems like every news outlet he could find, Sheen first headed over to 20/20 to clear things up with ABC News' Andrea Canning on Jan. 28, 2011. The first thing he wanted the world to know? He is high - on himself. "I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen," he chortled. "It's not available because if you try it, you will die. Your face will melt off, and your children will weep over your exploded body." "I have one speed," he added. "I've one gear, go! And I dare you to keep up with me."

    Charlie Sheen made a bombshell announcement on "Today" on Nov. 17, 2015, when he announced that he is HIV positive. Sheen, who is known for his wild lifestyle, spoke with Matt Lauer saying that he was diagnosed four years ago, but has always been open and honest about his virus with his sexual partners.

    The tour broke a Ticketmaster record and sold out in 18 minutes but didn't remain so popular. The very first show, Sheen was booed off stage and eventually walked out. Apparently the audience was not at all impressed with the show, or lack of a show, that included a hodgepodge of video clips and Sheen rants that seemed hastily assembled. Here, Sheen takes off his "winning" shirt during the Atlantic City appearance at the Taj Mahal on April 16, 2011.

    Back in June 2010, Sheen's Mercedes Benz was stolen and plunged over the side of a cliff -- for the second time that year. Los Angeles Police Department officials say that a security guard spotted the luxury car about 100 feet over the side of a cliff on Mulholland Drive just before 3 a.m. on June 15. Officials ran the plates and found the car was registered to Charlie Sheen. When police contacted the actor, he said he didn't know the car had been missing. The last time he saw his vehicle was at 4 p.m. that Monday afternoon. It turns out Sheen had left his keys in the car, just like he did four months earlier when his Mercedes was found upside-down at the bottom of a ditch in the same area.

    During an in-depth interview with Andrea Canning for ABC's "20/20," Sheen praised his live-in girlfriends - whom he calls 'goddesses' - Natalie Kenly, a graphic designer and Rachel Oberlin, a porn star. "You've read about the goddesses, come on. They're an international sensation. These are my girlfriends. These are the women that I love that have completed the three parts of my heart," Sheen said. Referencing his once ongoing battle with Warner Bros. about being dismissed from "Two and a Half Men," Sheen replied, "I've got a whole family to support and love," and "people beyond me are relying on that. I'm here to collect. They're going to lose. They're going to lose in a courtroom, so I would recommend that they settle out of court."

The bizarre incident took place just days after the actor appeared on 20/20 giving one of the most memorable interviews to date. "I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen," he said. He added, "I've one speed, I've one gear, go! And I dare you to keep up with me" and that his wild ways were just "epic, epic behavior."

And you thought your holiday dinners can get a little uncomfortable.

Denise Richards says her ex, Charlie Sheen, brought a hooker with him to Thanksgiving dinner several years ago.

“Even a hooker deserves to have Thanksgiving dinner,” Richards said with a laugh on Tuesday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

Richards, 48, and Sheen, 53, were married from 2002 to 2006.

They’re remained in each other’s lives in the years since the split, as the duo has two daughters together: 15-year-old Sam and 13-year-old Lola.

Richards said on the reality show that Sheen initially had his unexpected guest for the Thanksgiving dinner wait in the car in the driveway, before telling his former spouse that she was outside.

“I was like, (sighs), I’ll set a f–king plate,” Richards recalled during a testimonial portion of the show.

A rep for Sheen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
