Mira Sorvino Reflects on Her Time with Charlie Sheen in the ’90s

In a recent exclusive interview, Mira Sorvino opened up about her experiences with Charlie Sheen during what she described as a chaotic time in the ’90s. While promoting her debut on Broadway, Sorvino reminisced about a moment when Sheen proposed in a car, leading to a rather unforgettable encounter.

She recalled a specific instance: “When I voiced my discomfort, he offered to light a crack pipe he had in the car. I was like, ‘No, absolutely not.'” She laughed as she shared this memory, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.

The Oscar-winning actress expressed concern for Sheen, noting that during their friendship, he often vanished for hours at a time, which was concerning. Both Sorvino, now 58, and Sheen, 60, had shared a long friendship that ebbed and flowed over the years.

Interestingly, her memories contrast sharply with those presented in his recent memoir, “The Book of Sheen.” In it, Sheen recounted an incident from 1998 where he evaded police and ended up at guitarist Slash’s house, where he unexpectedly found Sorvino. According to him, Slash had urged Sheen to seek rehab, but Sorvino approached the situation differently.

Sheen described in his book how Sorvino allegedly told him, “I’ll sleep with you if you promise to go to rehab.” Sorvino laughed at this version, suggesting she doesn’t quite remember it that way. “I wouldn’t have said something like that. I liked Charlie, but it wasn’t like that. We had worked together before, and I was friends with his father.” Her perspective offered a glimpse into their complicated relationship.

In the meantime, Sorvino is currently taking on the role of Roxy Hart in Broadway’s “Chicago.” She shared her excitement about the experience, describing it as intense and rewarding. “I love playing Roxy; she’s such a fantastic character,” she said, noting that her portrayal might be different from what audiences expect.

Sorvino is also dedicated to using her platform to raise awareness about serious issues, such as human trafficking. After her own experiences of interacting with survivors, she emphasized the importance of speaking out. “It’s changed my life, talking to these women and understanding what they’ve gone through,” she remarked, underscoring her commitment to the cause.

Despite the demanding schedule that comes with her Broadway role, including five weekend performances, Sorvino remains upbeat. “Sometimes my legs feel like jelly before a show, but I think it’s all worth it,” she said with a smile, showcasing her passion for both her craft and philanthropic efforts.
