Charlie Sheen Channels Allen Iverson
All, Athletes and Celebrities, Video February 28th. 2011, 10:15am
Charlie Sheen gave an all-time great interview to the Today Show this morning – “I’m tired of pretending I’m not special!” – and six minutes in, he referenced Allen Iverson. Only about 15 seconds of the 12 minute interview is related to sports, but the entire interview is too captivating not to watch.

Holy shit Charlie Sheen looks fucking rough.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:19 AM
The gift that keeps on giving.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
Charlie Sheen is my spirit guide.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
“You cant process me with a normal brain.”
Fantastic, you just keep being you man.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
Winning.

How do you get rid of the Shortlink bar?
February 28th, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Scary looking dude
February 28th, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Charlie Sheen: America’s Cicero
February 28th, 2011 at 10:24 AM
He looks exactly the way I would expect a person to look after doing a huge amount of drugs and drinking for 48 hours straight with a bunch of porn stars.
Also, nice mullet, Charlie.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:24 AM
I’m disappointed that Robert Downey Jr’s career spiral in the 90′s wasn’t this entertaining
February 28th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
The price you pay for living such an epic life. The Iverson comparisons are very appropriate.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
1/3 Charlie Sheen
February 28th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
He’s gonna be dead within a month. Although that would rob us of all of the great quotes he’s provided recently. I still think Mel’s phone calls were better entertainment.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
“I met his new girlfriends. He calls them the goddesses.”
WINNING
February 28th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
Train. Wreck.
Know someone who works security for Sheen, says he has no teeth from all the drugs and drinking.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
I, too, am high on Charlie Sheen.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
Tough call. They both are pretty awesome for entertainment value.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
The interview segment tomorrow could be even better. I want to see how they handle him living with two women. One a model for marijuana magazines and the other a pornstar.
Somewhere Mel Gibson is happy. Sheen has taken his place as being the easiest target for comedians on award and talk shows.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
“Scoreboard doesn’t lie.”
Charlie Sheen is a quote machine.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
RobertDowney.Legend.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
I still think Mel’s phone calls were better entertainment.
Agreed. Charlie needs to work in some heavy breathing.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
The fact that it’s Bree fucking Olson… I mean… that is just too much. I love it.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
This is fucking classic.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:33 AM
Q: Did you turn to alcohol and other substances because you were bored?
A: No, I turned to them because they work
BEST. INTERVIEW. EVER.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:33 AM
He looks horrible but not as bad as Kirk Douglas
February 28th, 2011 at 10:33 AM
You need to get us more stories
February 28th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Oh man.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Brilliant.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Kacey Jordan said the same on Stern. He has a bunch of gold teeth.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:35 AM
I think the mel gibson tapes are more compelling than Charlie Sheen. Mel Gibson actually had a serious movie career and was pretty well respected. I doubt anyone is all that shocked over Charlie Sheen being out of control.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
That’s because Downey isn’t a Warlock. And he wasn’t WINNING!!!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
SG FTL!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
He looks horrible but not as bad as Michael Douglas
Still can’t believe he locked up CZJ.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Yes. I cannot wait for the soccer moms who watch GMA to google her tomorrow and be absolutely shocked to see her exploits. Bree is pretty out there.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Kirk Douglas is 90 some years old he’s gonna look bad.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
I’m disappointed that Robert Downey Jr’s career spiral in the 90′s wasn’t this entertaining
That guy pulled a 180. Good for him and us. Don’t see Charlie Sheen as entertaining, acting wise, if he pulls out of it.
Letterman asked Downey if he had any advice for Sheen.
“Yeah, don’t get caught.”
February 28th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Thrashers extended Stuart.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
Topper Harley. Legend.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
Kirk Douglas is 90 some years old he’s gonna look bad.
This. I hope I’m well enough to go on national television when I’m 90.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
So much to love here: When the interviewer describes what most would constitute as “bad” behavior, Charlie wistfully says “Epic. Epic behavior.”
And Charlie’s example of his not being an anti-semite (duh) because he is letting a Jew interview him.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
When Charlie has a coke-induced stroke out, they’ll be on equal ground.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
Mel Gibson wasn’t in Hot Shots or Major League, Sheen wins
February 28th, 2011 at 10:40 AM
Charlie’s funny, Mel was disturbed.

FLA trades Dvorak to FLA for Bergfors and Rissmiller.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:40 AM
When Charlie Sheen is 90 he will look worse than Kirk Douglas at 90.
Because he will have been dead for 40 years.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:41 AM
Q: Are you worried you’re going to OD?
A: That’s for amateurs
This is such a captivating interview.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charlie Sheen > Hockey threadjacks
February 28th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Charlies situation is crazy, but you dont really look at him any different. I mean I knew he got wasted and plowed ho’s. Mel went so crazy with hate its weird and distracting to even watch old movies with him.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Kirk Douglas can’t touch the biggest badass of them all, Eli Wallach.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:43 AM
What was the movie Sheen was in where he steels a red BMW and takes the driver (who happens to be a smoking hot blonde) hostage? He then proceeds to flee from the police OJ style; and ends up fucking said smoking hot blonde while he’s driving along a Los Angeles freeway with about 10 police cars behind him.
I can totally picture him making that movie a reality after seeing that interview.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Mel and Charlie should star in a buddy cop movie.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:44 AM
This + infinity x infinity^Avagadro’s number.
Tuco is older, walked better, and can still speak decently.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:44 AM
Wasn’t the blonde Kristy Swanson?
February 28th, 2011 at 10:45 AM
The Chase and Kristy Swanson FTW!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:45 AM
“I won best picture at 20 and wasn’t even trying.”
So many money quotes in that interview. Charlie Shee=LEGEND
February 28th, 2011 at 10:45 AM
The Chase with Kristy Swanson.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:45 AM
I think I would’ve just opted for some RH in that situation. Much more safe.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Sad that Flea’s film career didn’t take off after that
February 28th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Holy shit, Charlie donning the #99 Ricky Vaughn Tribe jersey and pounding the glove!
There are literally dozens of Major League quotes that apply! He needs Suzanne Dorn added to the Goddesses roster.
“Vaughn, a juvenile delinquent in the offseason…”
/There is a 10% chance he could make the Tribe roster this year.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Wasn’t the blonde Kristy Swanson?
No idea. The first and only time I saw that movie was when I was like 12 years old. It was on HBO–I think that was one of the first movies I saw where sex was more than implied and they actually showed it.
Thanks Charlie!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
The Machine could play the Chief.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
No you didn’t. The greatness of Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger did.
Platoon is in my top 5
February 28th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
He was in The Big Lebowski. He’s a legend just for that.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
the Panthers are trading with the Panthers? How does this work?
February 28th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
Wild Thing, you make my heart sing…
February 28th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
February 28th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
What’s that mean?
I think the Robert Downey Jr downfall was sad more than entertaining so I’m glad that happened pre internet. RDJ is super talented. Charlie Sheen is an average actor with a well-known, crazy personal life. Thus, he is entertaining.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Don’t forget Johnny Drama.
/VICTORY’d
February 28th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Yes, but don’t tell Charlie that. His level of delusion is epic.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:49 AM
The Chase with Kristy Swanson.
That’s good can’t sleep late night cable viewing.
Sheen’s breakdown is step above Lohan, but a bunch of notches below Gibson’s.
OJ would have to be the alltime high.
(excluding stars who actually died or killed themselves)
February 28th, 2011 at 10:49 AM
The best part about the Chase is after the credits, they show him driving the car in a clown outfit quoting a scene from Apocalypse Now. So weird, random and creepy.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
average actor? he was legendary with his naive, coke hangover, deadpanned bud fox in wall street and his naive, coke hangover, deadpanned chris taylor in platoon.
look at how versatile he is!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
/science
February 28th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
Sad that Flea’s film career didn’t take off after that
He was in The Big Lebowski. He’s a legend just for that
Back to the future sequels.
“Are you chicken, McFly??”
February 28th, 2011 at 10:51 AM
Lot of names who were nobody’s in that film. Johnny Depp, Keith David/David Keith, Dr. Cox, Forest Whitaker.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:51 AM
An average actor would not win best picture at 20 without even trying.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:51 AM
Don’t forget he was Needles in the Back to the Future trilogy.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Wow. Completely forgot about this.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
SON-IN-LAW!!!!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Downey is the better actor, but they both sort of got passes from folks in show business for their past behavior because they are, by all accounts, pretty well liked (even if Charlie Sheen can’t seem to stop smacking women around as has been alleged/reported).
Being well liked can be a pain in the ass, but does come in handy when you screw up.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
My god, I forgot…I withdraw my earlier comment
February 28th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
Downey Jr. > Sheer fo sho
Platoon was awesome though.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
Sheen knows where all the drugs and porn stars are. Of course people like him.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
It probably should also be mentioned that Charlie is a Truther.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
Haha! Charlie is definitely the reason why that movie won Best Picture.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:58 AM
i laughed out loud
February 28th, 2011 at 11:01 AM
They should have gotten Charlie to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol.
Tell me you wouldn’t watch.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:01 AM
he was freaking wasted in that interview.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:01 AM
Looking back, it’s hard to believe that Oliver Stone could make a war movie starring Charlie Sheen and nobody was killed in the process.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:03 AM
“Scoreboard don’t lie.”
February 28th, 2011 at 11:05 AM
He passed a piss test that day, I believe. He wasn’t slurring his words. His perspective may be extremely unique, but he seemed pretty lucid to me.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:08 AM
Dude, that was perhaps the greatest interview of all time. “They picked a fight with a warlock.” There are not writers who could write a scrpit with that many crazy over the top one-liners.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:09 AM
His perspective may be extremely unique
Extremely Hollywood. Especially growing up in a Hollywood home.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:09 AM
I bet it sucks.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:12 AM
He passed a piss test that day, I believe. He wasn’t slurring his words. His perspective may be extremely unique, but he seemed pretty lucid to me.
have a family member who was mega hooked on pills. he was clear and seemed lucid after he got out of rehab, only to find out he was taking more. they get pretty delusional at that point and also very combative
February 28th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
Great flick, great supporting actors, but hey, he was the lead and he portrayed exactly what was intended. You can’t take that away from him.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:14 AM
Sign me up and I HATE American Idol.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:23 AM
it’s no accident tropic thunder mocked platoon. if i recall, Stiller was friends with ShHeen at the time he did platoon and the whole 6 week boot camp course, the story idea was based on his friends doing that in the 80′s.
