During the October 6 episode of Dax Shepard’s podcast, “Armchair Expert,” Charlie Sheen apologized to the host for an incident long in the past he says haunted him for years. Sheen brought up the incident by admitting he was rude to the “Veronica Mars” actor one night. “I mean not cool.” Shepard, for his part, didn’t even recall the incident. “Tell me cause it’s so crazy, I don’t remember that,” he told Sheen.
Sheen said the incident stayed on his mind, and he kept thinking “I gotta make that right,” but never got around to it until the podcast. “Here we are 20 years later,” her remarked, before diving into the tale. So what did Charlie Sheen do to Dax Shepard? Read on to find out.
A Halloween Gone Wrong
Sheen dove into the story of why he owed Shepard an apology by first setting the scene of how his children gave him a stressful Halloween. “Halloween with super tiny children is not fun.” Sheen’s second and third daughters, whom People says he shares with Denise Richards, were born in 2004 and 2005, which would make them toddlers around the time of the story, which Sheen said took place in the 2000s.
The “Two And A Half Men” star said he was he was spending the holiday with Shepard, and was in a negative mood, complaining and showing “zero gratitude about anything.” Afterwards, he said Shepard, who didn’t yet have any kids, recalled the event by telling friends “the fun version” of Halloween, saying the pals went to a few parties and calling the time “great.” Sheen said he became frustrated and interrupted his friend to exclaim, “Try it with kids, dude!”
The actor explained why he now regrets his comment. “It was so inappropriate, and unnecessary, and uncalled for” he recalled, before adding, “So 20 years later, apologies.” The discussion begins around the 20 minute mark.
Dax Shepard Talks Making Amends
Shepard good-naturedly accepted Sheen’s apology, telling him “no problem,” before reflecting on making some apologies of his own. He remarked, “There’s a lot of people I’ve made amends to. And thank God I did. They were really hurt and that repair had to happen.
However, he realized that more often than not, people would say they were never bothered by whatever he’d called them up to apologize for. He said this realization was surprising after living with a notion that the person “hates me and felt betrayed by him.”
He concluded that “an interesting part of making amends is that you’ve built up a lot of it in your mind,” suggesting his perceived offenses towards people were often much less serious than he once believed. Sheen agreed, “We’ve sort of decided the level of trauma for them they’ve been carrying as a result of our behavior.” Shepard in turn laughed, “And we’re not even that important in their life.”
