Il Fatto Quotidiano: “I narcotrafficanti del Cartello di Sinaloa ce l’avevano con me perché compravo talmente tanta droga che si erano convinti che la spacciassi e gli facessi concorrenza”: lo rivela Charlie Sheen

“È incredibile che io sia ancora vivo. Sono arrivato alla conclusione che Dio o chi per lui ha dei piani per me”, così con disarmante sincera Charlie Sheen si è raccontato a La Repubblica, in occasione del lancio del libro autobiografico “The book of Sheen. Un memoir”, dove l’attore 60enne ha ripercorso le fasi salienti della sua vita, senza risparmiare davvero nulla. Tra gli aneddoti raccontati quello dell’incontro con i pericolosissimi narcotrafficanti del Cartello di Sinaloa.
“Ce l’avevamo con me perché compravo talmente tanta droga che si erano convinti che la spacciassi e gli facessi concorrenza: non potevano credere che un uomo solo potesse farsene così tanta tutta insieme”, ha scritto.
Le prime parole del libro sono eloquenti: “Sono nato morto”. L’attore lo spiega: “Avevo il cordone stretto intorno al collo, in pratica ero già sul carro funebre. Ma il medico mi salvò a forza di schiaffi. Di secondo nome, mi chiamo Irwin in suo onore. Un ottimo inizio, eh?”.
Tra i tanti ricordi la vita sul set a dieci anni, assieme al padre Martin Sheene, nelle Filippine per il film cult “Apocalypse Now” di Francis Ford Coppola. “Il set era davvero folle al di là di ogni immaginazione. – ha commentato – Girava ogni tipo di sostanza perché c’era moltissima pressione: stiamo parlando di Hollywood al suo apice e di gente come Francis Ford Coppola e Marlon Brando. Quanto mangiava! Un giorno venne a pranzo da noi e mamma preparò per tutti una grande ciotola piena di spaghetti al burro e parmigiano. Brando se la mise davanti e iniziò a divorarla, lasciandoci a bocca asciutta. Noi eravamo increduli. Ma era una persona davvero affascinante, intelligente, quasi soprannaturale”.

“The Sinaloa Cartel drug traffickers had a problem with me because I was buying such an enormous amount of drugs that they had convinced themselves I was dealing it and competing with them,” he revealed, Charlie Sheen.

It’s incredible that I’m still alive. I’ve come to the conclusion that God or whoever, has plans for me,” Charlie Sheen told La Repubblica, during the launch of his autobiographical book “The book of Sheen. Un memoir,” where the 60-year-old actor recounted the key moments of his life, sparing nothing. Among the anecdotes, there was the one about his encounter with the extremely dangerous drug traffickers of the Sinaloa Cartel.

“They had it in for me because I was buying so much drugs that they had convinced themselves I was selling them and competing with them: they couldn’t believe that one man could use so much all at once,” he wrote.

The first words of the book are telling: “I was born dead.” The actor explains: “I had the noose around my neck, in practice I was already on the funeral car. But the doctor saved me by hitting me repeatedly. Second name, I’m called Irwin in his honor. What a great start, eh?”

Among the many memories is the life on set at ten years old, alongside his father Martin Sheen, in the Philippines for the cult film “Apocalypse Now” by Francis Ford Coppola. “The set was truly crazy beyond any imagination,” he commented, “They were filming all kinds of substances because there was a lot of pressure: we’re talking about Hollywood at its peak and people like Francis Ford Coppola and Marlon Brando. How much he ate! One day he came to lunch with us and Mom prepared a huge bowl of spaghetti with butter and Parmesan for everyone. Brando ate it up, leaving us speechless. We were incredulous. But he was a truly fascinating, intelligent, almost supernatural person.”
