This week, Charlie Sheen spoke out this morning on the Today Show with Matt Lauer, following speculation about his health in recent weeks.“I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive and I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks, of sub-truths … stories that are threatening the health of so many others.”The 50-year-old revealed his diagnosis amongst mounting media speculation, and now father Martin Sheen has spoken out about his son’s decision to address media.
Speaking at an event in Florida, the 75-year old actor revealed that his son had struggled with confronting his illness publicly, labelling it ‘his own execution’: “He had been leading up to this sort of story for several months and we kept encouraging him to do it. But he kept backing away and back away because it was like going to his own execution, I guess. It was the most difficult thing he’s ever done.”“We didn’t know until he walked on the set that he was going to do it. I saw him Saturday night – my wife and I went to see him – to make sure he knew we were behind him and, if he wanted me to go, I would have cancelled this event.
“This morning, as I watched him alone, reveal his deepest, darkest secret, I couldn’t believe the level of courage I was witnessing, and that it was my son.”News & GossipBritney SpearsBritney Spears feared family would ‘try to kill her’ during conservatorship battlePaul Mescal is a normal person as he signs up for dating app‘I’m appalled’ – Emily Blunt apologises for fat-shaming comment
