Incidentally, Cryer also participated in the filming of a documentary, where he discussed how Sheen undermined the success of the sitcom in 2011. "Every time this comes up, I say I'll reach out to him, but I never do. I don't like bothering people, but I think Jon would be open to it. He's a wonderful man and very talented," Sheen said. During a panel at the "For Your Consideration" event, Sheen also made a joke at Cryer's expense, who was not present at the event, despite having participated in the documentary. "I don't know if anything Cryer said in the documentary surprised me. Jon isn't here tonight, is he? He's a bit grumpy a decade and a half later. I said, 'Dude, what's up? I've moved on. What are we doing, Jon?'" Sheen said when asked on stage about Cryer. Sheen also spoke about what it was like to tell his life story through the memoir "The Book of Sheen" and the documentary "Charlie Sheen," both released in the same week in September 2025. "I feel relieved. It's documented, and I think it's told beautifully, visually, and hopefully, decently. There are things in the book that aren't in the documentary and vice versa because there are things I couldn't capture in writing that director Andrew Renzi did visually, as some things you just have to see to feel. And there were some stories I couldn't tell well enough on camera, but I knew I could write them," he revealed. Sheen also described his first meeting with Renzi and his initial hesitation about participating in the film. "At the first meeting, I said, 'Why are you so interested?' And he said, 'Because you have a story unlike anyone who's ever been in this business, or outside of it.' Then he listed things, and I said, 'Okay.' I don't walk around thinking about my accolades or how much life I've lived," he added. Sheen, who has been sober for eight years, emphasized that he would not have participated in the project if he were still struggling with alcohol or drugs.
