Charlie Sheen talks about using ice cube during filming
In his Netflix docuseries, AKA Charlie Sheen, Sheen recently shared an anecdote about the filming of Free Money. At that time, he was struggling with a severe drug addiction, which made it difficult for him to stay awake during a bar scene. Frequently dozing off, he decided to try an unconventional method to keep himself alert and finish the shoot. He asked the bartender for a glass of ice. Sheen later revealed, “There was a little bathroom, and I went in there, and I took an ice cube, and I shoved it up my butt.”
Further referencing his bizarre experience, he said, “I’ve never done that before.” He mentioned that, though it was his first time using this method, it really helped him to stay awake and get done with that particular scene for the movie. “Man, I was wide awake just enough to get back on the mark and finish the bucket scene with an ice cube in my ass,” he added.

For those unfamiliar, Sheen quit drinking in 2017 and has been sober since. Although he had a difficult journey of battling addiction and dealing with his career downfall, Sheen now prefers to keep a positive outlook on the past. He said in an interview with E! News, “I can’t live in regret. I tend to believe that we’re the sum total of all of our experiences, good and bad. And if I’m going to preach that, then I have to surrender to that as well.”
