Charlie Sheen is '100 percent' interested in returning to Two and a Half Men
When you've burned a bridge all the way down, is it possible to rebuild it? That's the question facing onetime Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen, who was fired from the series in 2011 after calling creator Chuck Lorre a "stupid, stupid little man" (and a host of other, filthier epithets).
Now, as Two and a Half Men enters its final season, Charlie Sheen says he's "100 percent" interested in returning to the show. "I just want to do it classy," said Sheen in an interview with E! Online. "I want to do it in a way that still services what the show is today, and also honors what it was when I was there. Who knows? I'm sure they are over there right now, pen to paper, trying to figure something out."
If they do decide to bring Sheen back for an encore, they'll have their work cut out for them: the character was killed off-screen by a train, and has since appeared as a ghost played by Kathy Bates.
