Charlie Sheen, born Carlos Irwin Estevez, is turning 60 on September 3, 2021. The son of actor Martin Sheen, who was originally RamΓ³n Antonio Gerardo Estevez, began his acting career as a teenager and has since made a significant impact on Hollywood.

Sheen found early success with the lead role in Oliver Stone's acclaimed Vietnam drama "Platoon." His career reached new heights with the move to television, becoming the world's highest-paid TV actor. He played leading roles in sitcoms like "Spin City" and "Two and a Half Men." Particularly memorable is Sheen's performance in "Wall Street," where he starred alongside Michael Douglas and his father Martin Sheen.

Throughout his career, Sheen has been associated with a series of high-profile relationships and controversies. He has been married multiple times and has made headlines with various women, including a botched engagement to a porn star on Hawaii. Sheen's public appearances were often accompanied by alcohol, parties, and provocative statements.

In 2015, Sheen revealed he'd been HIV-positive for some time, which led to a sharp increase in internet searches about HIV, condom usage, and HIV tests. His disclosure brought attention to the importance of HIV awareness and testing.

Sheen's personal life has not always been smooth sailing. He lost custody of his twins Bob and Max after his separation with Brooke Mueller. However, he has shown signs of change in recent years. Sheen has been sober since 2017 and has given up drugs. His father, Martin Sheen, commented on his recovery, calling it a "miracle" and describing him as an "extraordinary man."

Sheen's career has been the subject of a Netflix documentary titled "aka Charlie Sheen." The documentary features interviews with many people who spoke about Sheen's major successes and failures, including Sean Penn, Denise Richards, Jon Cryer, Heidi Fleiss, Ramon Estevez, Brooke Mueller, Chris Tucker, and Chuck Lorre, the creator of Two and a Half Men.

Sheen's life has not been without controversy. In 2001, he claimed that the World Trade Center collapse was a "controlled demolition." This statement was widely criticised and contradicted by evidence.

Despite the controversies, Sheen has shown generosity towards others. He showed generosity by giving actress Lindsay Lohan $100,000 to pay off her tax debts.

Sheen has other children from previous relationships. His twins Bob and Max with Brooke Mueller are a testament to his family life. As he turns 60, Sheen's life continues to be a fascinating study of success, controversy, and redemption.
