"It was clear to everyone that this man, whom we’d all grown to love, was in trouble," the sitcom creator writes in his upcoming memoir The post Charlie Sheen ‘Terrified’ Melanie Lynskey in Final ‘Two and a Half Men’ Scene, Chuck Lorre Says appeared first on TheWrap .
In the final "Two and a Half Men" scene, creator Chuck Lorre believes Charlie Sheen "terrified" his co-star Melanie Lynskey. According to Lorre's new biography "Sitcom" published in Vanity Fair, the situation escalated during Sheen's last scene on the CBS show. "The last scene we shot was with Charlie and Melanie Lynskey. He couldn't remember any of his lines and had to use the furniture to keep himself upright," Lorre wrote.
"Melanie was terrified. It was clear to everyone that this man, whom we'd all grown to love, was in trouble." Lorre had no choice but to shut down the show after Sheen's numerous excuses for missing shoot days. After Sheen insisted on shooting four more episodes despite Lorre's insistence on breaking for a three-month hiatus, Sheen's behavior towards Lorre turned hostile.
This led to Sheen being written off the show and a $100 million lawsuit that was eventually settled. Lorre's memoir, set to release on Oct. 13, concludes with the acknowledgment that the two never discussed the "Two and a Half Men" ordeal years later.
