Charlie Sheen Announces Memoir Chronicling Career and Personal Struggles
Actor Charlie Sheen is preparing to release his first memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” which will hit shelves in fall 2025, People exclusively confirmed. The book, published by Gallery Books, offers an unfiltered look at Sheenâs life â from his early days on set with his famous father to the peaks and pitfalls of fame.
Known for his roles in films such as classic 80’s films such as âPlatoon,â âWall Street,â and âFerris Buellerâs Day Off,â as well as hit TV series like âTwo and a Half Menâ and âSpin City,â Sheen has been a household name for decades. But the memoir, written in Sheenâs voice from his own perspective, offers a deeply personal narrative that extends well beyond his on-screen success.
A Candid Look Behind the Fame
In the upcoming memoir, the 54-year-old actor shares deeply personal recollections about his Hollywood upbringing, addiction, and relationships. Among the stories included are moments from his youth spent making home movies with longtime friend Sean Penn and navigating the film industry as the son of actor Martin Sheen.
âMy stories have been told for far too long through the eyes and pens of others,â Sheen said in a statement. âI think you’ll agree, it’s time to finally read these stories directly from the actual guy.”
Gallery Books unveiled the memoirâs cover and described the project as both âheartfeltâ and âhilarious.â The publisher also praised Sheenâs transformation, noting that heâs nearly eight years sober and sharing details of his recovery.
âNow nearly eight years sober, Charlie writes candidly of every detox, retox, drug deal and adventure along his challenging journey to freedom,” said Jennifer Bergstrom, Senior Vice President and Publisher at Gallery Books, in a statement.
She added: âWe are so proud to share his story. His talent as an actor is now matched as a writer on every page.”
In addition to chronicling his rise to fame and battles with addiction, the memoir will explore the impact of his divorces and time spent in the public eye. A statement provided to People mentioned that Sheen reflects on âcoping with the chaos of divorces and drugs.â
The book aims to present a full picture of the actorâs life â both the triumphs and the turbulence âas a âcandid portrait of the complicated, controversial and one-of-a-kindâ star.
“The Book of Sheen” will be released on Sept. 9, 2025, and is now available for preorder wherever books are sold.
