In an interview promoting his recently-released memoir, The Book of Sheen, Charlie Sheen talked to Loudwire’s (Chuck Armstrong) about acting alongside some of rock’s biggest stars on the set of his hit sitcom ‘Two and a Half Men’ including such luminaries as Elvis Costello, Steven Tyler and ZZ Top. Add to that impressive list Eddie Van Halen – who in the episode Charlie runs into coming out of a bathroom.
Excerpt from the Loudwire Interview:
“During the table read for that episode, he made a change in one of the lines of dialogue. You’re not supposed to do that in that kind of environment — especially on that show. His change was brilliant. The alternate that he added was brilliant … It’s the thing where I’m constipated and he’s at the studio. Did you ever see that episode? He comes out of the bathroom and I think his line is, ‘Two burritos and a root beer float,’ or something like that. That might even be the title of the episode. And then he plays that amazing lead, just shredding, and I’m two feet from him. I mean, can you get a better, private, short concert with Van Halen anywhere? Ever? And they did five takes of it. I’m like, ‘Are you sure we don’t need a sixth?'”
