Charlie Sheen opened up about feeling “awful” while hanging out with his brother Emilio Estevez‘s Brat Pack during the ‘80s. Although he wasn’t interested in acting jobs, he said that looking at the pack inspired him to become an actor. He stated that he wanted to be “part of all of the perks” that the job came with.
Charlie Sheen says it ‘felt awful’ being around Emilio Estevez’s Brat Pack
During the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast, the Hot Shots! actor recalled his life prior to becoming famous. Sheen shared that he used to hang out with his older brother, Emilio Estevez’s, Brat Pack, a group of young actors in the ‘80s. However, he never felt good about it.
“It felt awful,” Sheen said. “I felt like I was just taking up the rear. I felt like a valet on certain nights.”
Sheen went on to say that despite being “in the mix” and hanging out in VIP lounges with popular celebrities, he never received the same attention from women that others in the group did. “It felt the worst when [they got] all the attention from all the pretty girls, and they would all go home with them, and I would just go home,” Sheen recalled.
He referred to his new book The Book of Sheen, and said, “I think there’s a line in the book that my inner bear had been poked, and it lit a fire, and you could see it from the f—— moon.”
The Two and a Half Men star continued to share that he wanted to be a “part of all the perks”. “I didn’t give a s— about acting,” she admitted. “I wasn’t looking at that, just like, if I can just get a job that, you know, everybody lines up to go see, then that’s how my nights will end. That kind of was the inspiration.”
Sheen recently released his memoir, The Book of Sheen, along with the Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen in September.
