Martin Sheen Says Charlie Sheen Is Emotionally Crippled

Actor Martin Sheen sympathizes with his son Charlie Sheen over the actors litany of bizarre public tirades. Martin Sheen says this of his son's experience,

“I know what hell he’s living in. I’ve had psychotic episodes in public. One of them was on camera – the opening scene of Apocalypse Now. So I know what Charlie is going through. When you do something like that, that is out of control, that’s the most difficult thing. You have to have courage… You know, Charlie’s 45 years old. He’s not a kid. Emotionally he still is. Because when you’re addicted, you don’t grow emotional. So when you get clean and sober, you’re starting at the moment you started using drugs or alcohol. You’re emotionally crippled.”
