Probably didn't hurt that 99.9% of the time his character was drunk or hungover.
"how do we keep our addict actor from abusing again?"
"Let's make his character constantly reaching for a glass of scotch"
🤔🤔
There are subtly different. The timing is not correct and what is said is more and more brittle
that's the best point ever made!! he was a party animal on the show....well...let the good times roll!!
😄👍
It got visibly worse from season 6 onwards. They obviously adapted scripts around his state on the day.
He’s Alan in real life 😂😂😂😂
😂
Lol true! But also Alan is a nervous wreck. The actor seems to be very chill and self aware.
Hold up...
He has more money than Charlie now. Let that sink in.
Lol
I love hearing the love and respect Jon still clearly has for Charlie. He speaks very sensitively and compassionately
Yeah bc Charlie sheen got that whole staff paid
Yes he’s lovely
I’d be talking nice about Charlie too if he was the reason I was getting paid $500,000 an episode without Charlie sheen that show wasn’t much we saw that after he was gone
It's not respect. Cryer doesn't tell Sheen's secrets and Sheen doesn't tell Cryer's.
I think it showing more of John's character. It's really isn't about Charlie at this point. John is just being a decent and respectful person.
He sounds like he’s still in character
I was gonna say that lol he has the same movements and stuff, I think he can play only one role, which is himself a stingy brother lol
Him an Charlie literally played themselves 🤣
@@Coolz10 🤣
@@kamilmusalat in long tv series, after a while actors just play themselves.
He dresses like he is still in character
Replacing Charlie Sheen with Ashton Kutcher was the biggest mistake ever.
I'm glad it ruined his career for was that Bruce Willis
What were they thinking.
In all fairness, no one could replace Charlie in this role. He made such a mark with this role that anyone afterwards would've fell short.
@@TuckerHopkins88 what
Kind of like replacing Michael J. Fox with Charlie Sheen in Spin City. It just didn't fit, wether or not he's a great comedic actor or not, he didn't fit the role, just like Kutcher in Two and a Half Men.
Charlie could have been injecting Absinthe into his veins, and he could still be funnier than the rest of the cast that came after him
Yes
then you are talking about the character not charlie sheen....
@@diegoabche nope charlie himself
Yup. And the writing got just utterly terrible too. They resorted to cheap gags. it was really pathetic comedy, buoyed only by the show's name and Kutcher's star power.
Tru dat bru!
Cryer is such a sensitive actor and so in tuned with other actors that it stands to reason that he would notice the changes. What impresses me more is his diplomacy and obvious respect and love for Sheen. even when discussing a sensitive topic. Bravo!
Cryer always seemed like a stand-up guy - he struggles after some early success like in Pretty in Pink (he was fantastic). Glad he got his one big show.
Dunno about that sensitive thing dude, he explains why he understood what was going on with Charlie pretty plainly: he worked with him for 8 years
@@koba2348 Yup! True that!
I agree Shaw
dont gay it up
He looked bad in his last seaaon. Even if people were looking closely or not, it was noticeable. He looked permanently wired.
Yeah, I definitely noticed...the man looked like he was ready to collapse at any given moment
Thx for the newsflash captain heinsight.
@@invzmk observelet insecure he didn't notice
@@big_slurp4603 Yeah yada yada.... or he played his role as addict more realistically. Everyone notices if they know, but i doubt many knew what the problem was at the time.
@@invzmk hindsight's 20/20
the first 6 seasons are timeless comedy gold.
and Charlie really did look a lot older in the last 1-2 seasons with him ...
Yeah - he looked terrible
That’s what drugs an aids will do to ya
I remember at that time me wishing not for the show to end and that same month everything poped off
FFS - he WAS older - like 8 yrs older - its called ageing
Yeah I just watched 8 seasons of the show and I can tell something changed in charlie between seasons 5-6.
Addiction can happen slowly, and yes, most people with addictions do get very good at hiding it. Also, most people aren’t looking for signs of addiction.
Thank you
Gina you’re beautiful 💯
You can't forget a lot of people simplily just dont know what they're looking for

Why is Wash Out talking about Topper this way?

I could see it in Charlie’s face... he had a different more serious look than previously
That period Chelsea left him?
Yep. That and exaggerated head movements. Vocal things too. Jon’s right. It was getting pretty obvious.
@@biffbifford402 True, I could see it in his face too. Something was different, the energy, the look as well as his movement. It was in fact that simple.
I am no expert on addiction, but for me what is most noticeable is the last scenes with Rose. He is rushing his lines to the point they are inaudible. Talking about Rose' s new husband in the Fashion Industry. I believe those are Charlie's last scenes on that show.
@@keithm9337 Could I ask you to provide a link? Or know the season/episode
I loved Jon Cryer on the show, he’s such a good actor.
It was never a masterpiece of a show but Charlie was funny on it. Even in his last season's he killed it. The show was never any good without him. I watched the first few episodes from the 1st season with Ashton & a couple episodes from the following seasons to see if they ever caught a groove & never laughed once. Obviously there are people who were still enjoying it but I just never found anything in the episodes I saw funny.
I’d have to disagree. The thought it was a masterpiece. Especially the chemistry between Charlie and Allen. Now I know it was a sexist show but it was freakin HILARIOUS.
Never a masterpiece? At one point he was the highest paid actor! Because of the shows success.
@@nigelnyoni8265 yes it was a masterpiece! It was the best show on tv for awhile. To each their own
The Ashton episodes are unwatchable. Not to say Charlie made the show but the show is dead without him.
The final episode was the most insulting end to a tv show i've ever seen.
Jon's got some real love for Charlie. I really miss that show, there was something always weirdly calming about it to me with those 2. RIP Berta
He's easy to like. A true professional.
Professional just means you are regularly paid to do something. It has no baring on Talent or Skill. I am so tired of people misusing this word, but yeah, he is good.
@@MrParkerman6 That's being kinda pedantic. A runner is just someone who uses there legs to move in a fast motion? No, a runner is someone who actively focuses and trains running, and typically would be considered "good" at it. Not saying your definition is incorrect but you are minimalizing the word. Most definitely skill is a metric used when calling someone a "professional". You are not a professional dog walker because your grandma regularly pays you to walk her dog.
I know it's Jon Cryer, but he will always sound and move like Alan Harper.
If you lose a two pounds a month for a year, the people that are you every day might not notice, but your relatives at thanksgiving won’t stop talking about your big change.
He never breaks character....and that's hard to find
You can say that again, I felt like I was watching Alan Harper stammering once more. Lol
Well he played a impaired guy on the show. So yes he nailed it.
Impaired in what way?
@@ceterisparibus8966 he was a drunk on the show . Did you not watch it? He's good at everything he did . Even his breakdown was a entertaining one of a kind.
Kelsey Grammar would show up for work on Cheers staggering drunk and when it came time to shoot a scene he would suddenly sober up and do the scene flawlessly. When the scene was over he would revert to being sloshed again.
...... Is that true? (Nes Manga)
He liked to party back in the day.
His sister died too I think she was murdered violently
Well he was in a bar... I just call that dedication to the character! :)
Don't underestimate the adaptability of a man named Kelsey
How did Charlie’s new show work out ? Lasted what 3 seasons? Both Charlie and Jon made a good team
Thats the truth together they are great them split up they are terrible!!! We need a reboot!!
One show had great writers , the other didn't!
@Wordsmith 430 Yeah, the plan for that show was meant to go for 100 episodes, so it did. I don't think anything revolutionary was supposed to go on with it in terms of content, just a workmanlike series that got its job done.
Do you know what he got paid per episode? 3 seasons, 100 episodes give or take. I would say not bad. Very few shows last 5+ years.
@@krisweaver8939 The deal with Fox for Anger Management was $100 million for 100 episodes.
There was a huge difference in Charlie’s appearance from season 7 to season 8- he aged like 10 years in one season
I can see him getting up after the interview and saying
"So wheres my room?"
Him and Charlie really just played themselves on the show 😂
"to act is to impair yourself" - Jungle Harry ©️
Deep
Why does it feel like I'm still watching Alan Harper even though I'm not watching the show??
Because he didn't have to change his personality. That's the idea of acting as its more congruent with a person's biological makeup than anything else. Take a look at Denzel Washington and how he portrays himself in reality as well as the movies. Great actors on set or camera are just acting themselves through the role.
@@TheMan-jz1ez but it goes against the word "Acting". Some actors adopt a character he or she isn't. I agree with you that he is a good actor.
@@AJ-qs4vw Here's the thing though. They aren't acting as themselves. They are using the authentic self to act through the character, and there's a difference. It's not like Denzal can take who he is completely, and play a character like equqlizer.
@@TheMan-jz1ez
That's your opinion
In my views are mixed between you both fellas
I've seen actors who switch roles as cake in december
As well as actors who remain the same throughout their career
Sheen had several characters, romantic-funny-comedy-drama- then last being his character of Charlie in TaHM
Ashton is always the same guy
Keanu, seems to have the same vibe in most of his movies, either funny keanu or serious keanu
RDJ has had several characters, during his time on Marvel he remained the same, right now he's changing that
Secondary Characters are more open to switch their mood, as they don't have a strong signature, BUT they're still actors
@@mauriciosolano9342no one cares
From season 3 - 5 , you could tell he was using , but seem to have control over it. His physical build was changing from decent build to being under weight. The last episodes of season 8 was obvious to everyone. He became painfully thin & his voice had changed! By all reports , he is doing much better now.
Was it noticeable to the home viewer?
No! It was perceived as method acting...
To the untrained eye it would but you could tell something was off
Charlie Sheen was the only reason anyone ever watched 2 & A Half Men. Ever since he left that show went down hill.
yep....
+PurpleSprite I agree. Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer were a good double act. Its like trying to replace Oliver Hardy with somebody else in a Laurel and Hardy film. It won't work.
I missed the re pour that went on with Charlie and Jake.
Nah man, it was the combination that worked.
Charlie by itself was nothing. Charlie + Alan + Young Jake was perfect. And you trown in Berta, their mother, rose, etc. It was gold
Henry Rollins tells a great story about the time he worked with Sheen on a movie called The Chase. Much of the cast were staying at a hotel near location, including Henry and Charlie. Shooting would commence fairly early in the morning so Henry asked the receptionist for a 6AM lobby call on every day of the shoot. One day, after coming down to the lobby, Henry noticed that Charlie was nowhere to be seen and Henry asked the doorman if he'd seen him. The doorman replied, "Oh yeah, I saw him being helped into the lobby this morning by a few of his buddies."
Uh-oh. This wasn't good. The star of the movie had gotten blackout drunk on a shooting day. Surely he'd be in no condition to work. As he was thinking that, the lift in the lobby dinged. Out stepped Charlie, looking pale, sunglasses on, somewhat fragile maybe, but otherwise composed. He went to shoot the day's scenes and did not miss a line. Not only that, but he was pulling double duty - he was filming The Chase during the day, and another movie called Major League during the evening. So, he was working 12 hour days at least, plus partying until the sun came up. And we wonder why he did drugs....
Sheen looked gaunt during his final season of Men. It was obvious.
I noticed that too. On the first episode of his last season, I thought he was sick. He almost looked like he had cancer or something.
Functioning addict. Theres plenty of them and you would never know
yup
Yup
Only until you stopped functioning ;(
Well yeah, considering social media exists.....we’re talking 90% of the worlds population suffering from addiction 😂🤷🏼♂️
And functional stoners
When Charlie left it killed the show for me. Before that it was literally my favorite show
Charlie didn't leave he was fired.
I still watch the repeats
Agreed. The show was sooo bad with Ashton Kutcher. It wasn’t the same show. They changed Alans character into something awkward. With Charlie the show felt genuine and his timing with Jon was just great.
I remember watching the season premiere after he left and the part that had me laughing out loud was allen dropping the ashes
@@korvkioskshelvete I agree with you completely. Great show until The Kutch destroyed it
The algorithm works again!
1 of the best shows ever
he was honestly hurt wasn’t he.
Miss this show and Miss Two and Half Men. RIP Larry King
Those shows are so bad brother....
I thought Sheen had become detached emotionally from the show near the end. Not in anything he did specifically but just the entire mood of the show. It was weird but describing it as being somewhat ‘off’ is really accurate in my opinion.
It really wasn’t noticeable, atleast not when the character he plays is himself lol
at least*
Who would’ve thought Charlie Sheen would out live Larry King. 🤯
everyone
Didn't know he died what happened
@@coin5207 covid
Too little, too soon, quick draw.
Cryer will always be the greatest Dweeb ever.
Addicts who use on a regular basis can hide their using.
"if he was impaired, he was very good at hiding it“ is what I told the police after getting beaten up by a guy in a wheelchair
Ha, I click on this random clip from 7 years ago and I get to see a funny comment made 12 hours ago. Nice.
Oh except the first time I read it I thought it said "after I beat up a guy in a wheelchair" XD
Second that, cant stop giggling. Funny as
Great show but I couldn't tell Charlie was high but he played w guy that drank drinks everyday on hius great back deck
Were you drunk writing this?
like when Chris Farley came back to host SNL
his timing was way off
I always loved this show. I own the dvd box set! 😀
You can say whatever you want about Charlie Sheen, but that show was hilarious with him. Between him, Alan, Jake and Bertha that show was great. It was not at all surprising it was impossible to replace Sheen lol
It’s true what Jon Cryer said. In the last season Charlie Sheen looked off and a little bloated in his last season.
But man, those first 7 seasons were golden.
Charlie and Jon and Angus were an amazing team.
And the housekeeper...She was so funny too...🤣
@@wandarobinson326 Conchata Ferrell as Berta. 10/10
@@ThiefOfNavarre I cant believe she passed away in 2020...So sad...She will be missed...😪 She was so funny...
@@wandarobinson326 Yes, really sad. The whole cast was brilliant really, Rose was probably the best stalker you could wish for xD
Damn he wasn’t acting being Alan. He really is Alan in real life 🤣🤣🤣
Facts it's cool tho tbh
I just realised this guy really looks like Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears.
jon cryer is absolute genius - how he set himself up for charlie to deliver 1 liners was awesome and vice versa
Cryer kept it going because he was just as funny. But with Charlie and Cryer it was the best
For me, Alan was the best and most important character of the show. That's why it could still survive without Charlie and thrive, albeit being pretty much a different show with Ashton Kutcher.
For comparison, removing Alan instead of Charlie would have killed the whole show
Cause he is the half man
I think it would be dead without either of them. The Ashton episodes are unwatchable.
Yea i agree. No hate for Ashton tho, hes pretty good at what he does. But replacing someone is just impossible often. It just gets cringe.
Same with Top Gear..
removing Alan could've work but there would be a spot needed to be filled by someone since it was never a one man show. It could be Jake filling that role or a new character, Berta could've gotten a bigger role too. The show was great at showing the 2 ends of the spectrum remove one and it doesn't quite work, Kutcher was an attempt to fill Charlie's role but backfired and ended up being half and a half men.
No - Kutcher is an idiot - Charlie is a genius
Lol Charlie is Charlie in real life and Alan is Alan
underrated comment
At some point addicts are better able to behave unimpaired until they reach the point of no return it’s mostly missing work because of being hung over that starts becoming obvious.
I used to watch the show faithfully and as a viewer, I never noticed. I could see how Jon Cryer and the rest of the crew would.
I wish somebody would pay me a few mill to be exactly me on camera. Lol this dude is literally himself in the show.
Your a friend of his and hang out with him?
I never witnessed Charlie miss a beat. Maybe microseconds. I didn't notice.
Charlie sheen high on anything is better than Ashton kutchner
You got problems
10 March 2021: I have always liked and respected both of them. I've always felt like they are good Americans. Both portrayed relevant and vital characters in cinema. Sheen in "Platoon " did a great portrayal of an idealistic American youth realizing the horror of a 🇺🇸 US war in Asia.
- "He looked different just microseconds"
- Really?!
yes
he meant his line delivery not his apperance
You must not be a golfer.
The "it it it" he speaks so much like alan
The one where he woke up with a trimmed head, face down on the stairs. That, and when he got his eyes done.
Kudos to him for having charlies back
He's got a can fulll of Kaboke hair fibers on his head
Sheen wears fake hair.
@@CelestialWoodway you think??? Not too sure about that. You're probably right. This guy,however went on the tonight show and demonstrated the process of hair fibers. I used to use Kaboke ,I still do, but I used to to.
cmon bro i got tiger blood, winning!
So he wasn’t acting the whole time ? Lol
UA-cam heard me watching two and a Half Men last night............... now i get this in my feed. IT'S REAL.... the A.I. is gonna get us all. It may not be here, but they are gonna get us all!

@@HOTD108_ I like to read body language and that's what I'm concluding
@@SydneyScream No ones arguing that
Let's get something straight. Charlie Sheen was Two and a Half Men. Review the last episodes, and Charlie nails every scene. Crier did a horrid Felix Unger impersonation for years. In this video, he shows Charlie his due respect, but their are others where he berates him. Charlie is a B+ talent. Crier got very lucky in Hollywood. All actors, well successful, got lucky, but Sheen was the only reason we watched the show. Sheen was upfront when he decided to do the show. His one request was back away from my personal life. Charlie ended up getting every penny he was owed by the studio.
Yawn
"He could have been killed if he resisted" This woman's astuteness of perception is quite impressive.
If youre always wrecked, people think thats just you, its like when people go to a job interview high.
1:07 anyone else feel like Larry is seriously judging Cryer here? 🤨
Judging Charlie more like...
I LIKE CHARLIE SHEEN!! I THINK HE’S A GREAT ACTOR FOR THE ROLES HE PORTRAYS. I KNOW MOST OF THE ROLES HE PORTRAYS ARE LIKE HIMSELF IN HIS EVERYDAY LIFE, BUT REGARDLESS HE STILL PERFORMS THEM WELL!!! HANG IN THERE CHARLIE!!! THE WORLD STILL NEEDS YOU!!
Why are you screaming
The final season with Charlie was hit-or-miss for me. You could feel something was off from their usual chemistry. There were maybe 3-4 episodes I really found on par with the earlier quality f.e. Evelyn's birthday 'date' with Russell the pharmacist 😂😂
Ahahahba. He’s dancing around this. Lol.
Because Charlie is/was a friend, and addiction is a complicated thing.
I feel like he did a reasonable job explaining the nuance ("microseconds"). How is he dancing around it, do you think?
The more interviews of Jon and Charlie I see, the more and more I am convinced that both of them just played their own personalities onset and conned some studio to pay them for it as 'acting' LMAO
I miss the original show.
The day Sheen left the show was the day I stopped watching.
he kept the show alive after charlie alan"s arent choser man love him
Friends since Hot Shots
Both of these guys, Charlie and Jon make it a show always to remember. This and Married ...with children are just pure state of show art to me. Love every minute watching these two 👍
You gotta give it to Charlie if he was really sober for 6 years while earning the money that he was for each episode. Jeez.
R.I.P Larry King
Jon Cryer reminds me of a Modern Day Tony Randall
He's right. You can see a difference in Charlie's acting in season 8.
I couldn't tell watching it at the time but now when I go back and watch the final season he was in you can definitely see it in his eyes 100 percent but being a former addict myself maybe I know what to look for
He still has love for Charlie. Plugged his show for him even
He was still functionally funny and THAT is what he got paid to do. He pissed off some people. If he was fired, bad move. If he quit because they were pissed off and whining at him, STILL a bad move ON THEIR PART.
The last season he seemed noticeably off or possibly impaired in some scenes.
He handled that question majestically, you can see the respect he has for Charlie not only from a professional standpoint but a personal one. Charlie’s personal issues have become so engrained in pop culture and synonymous with who he is that we neglect there was a human suffering from all too familiar and common affliction. The notoriety from his public bravado created this cult image of him that ultimately was a smokescreen causing the entire world to dehumanise him and somewhat celebrate his downfall. That’s just the nature of celebrity unfortunately Britney Spears is another prime example of fragile people being considered fair game all because they’re in the public eye. It was refreshing to hear Jon Cryer talk about Charlie like he’s an actual human being as opposed to some Hunter S Thompson like Cartoon character
You can feel the respect he still has for Charlie.
He is and will always be, The Duckman..
While the show was great with Charlie, in Season 8 you really see how Charlie rapidly aged to the end of the season. Sadly, they couldn't keep up this style of show with him looking like that anyway.
Lies Charlie was never sober in any show
He didnt work with charlie,he worked for charlie,without Charlie no show
As an addict myself, i worry about how my disease affects those around me when i relapse.. i was clean for 17 years, relapsed pretty good for 2 years, now Ive been clean for 3 months.. Honestly, its scary coz i dont think anyone really noticed
Cnn doesn't have a talk show anymore at 9pm.Boo! Thay play these rerun shows.CNN needs Someone.
CNN doesn't have anything period
I imagine Charlie sheen has a pretty heavy tolerance to various substances. My drummer could be drinking all day and 20 beers later I show up to rehearsal and don't even notice he's impaired.
And on today’s episode of “Things UA-cam recommends to me...”
