This time last year the nation was still reeling in the aftermath of the destruction left behind by Charlie Sheen‘s Torpedo of Truth Tour. He’d left our towns and cities – more often times than not for the worst – in a shamble of “tiger blood” talk and “Goddess” boasting. The star was still an unpredictable wildcard that left us with many questions, like: What would he do next? Who would he offend? Why….why are we still talking about this?!
But here we are a year later, the actor’s Twitter frenzy has cooled and he went out of his way to be cordial to Hollywood enough to stay its good graces long enough to get back to work. Sheen wasn’t so much a Torpedo of Truth anymore as a Slight Breeze of Congenial. And there may be no more obvious evidence of that than the new video of Sheen giving a tour of his new FX series Anger Management.
Dressed in a casual button-down, the 46-year old politely introduces his fellow cast and crew members to viewers and engages in playful on-set banter. Winning! Or something? While the actor may be inadvertently be making slight jabs at his Two and a Half Men boss Chuck Lorre (in the video he refers to Anger Management’s Bruce Helford as “the best showrunner in the history of television…hands down”) and himself (“[There’s a lot of angry people in there, that’s where I come in”) in the clip, it’s all still a tame shadow of the Sheen we knew all too well in 2011.
