Actor Charlie Sheen has admitted that he did used anabolic steroids shooting for sports movie "Major League" for getting the grip of the game.
Sheen played Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, a flamethrower with an edge in the worst-to-first baseball film, "Major League." The actor is also friend with admitted steroid user, Lenny Dykstra.
The former "Two and a half men" star kept his bad boy image mostly on film and his admission in this week's Sports Illustrated comes at least semi-unexpectedly.
From Huffingtonpost.com:
Of course, drug use is barely news with Sheen; after all, his contraband-fueled outbursts made national headlines last fall, and led to, eventually, his dismissal from "Two and a Half Men." Sheen kept his badboy image mostly on film back in his 80s heyday, though, so his admission in this week's Sports Illustrated comes at least semi-unexpectedly.
"Let's just say that I was enhancing my performance a little bit. It was the only time I ever did steroids," Sheen tells the magazine (via NY Daily News). "I did them for like six or eight weeks. You can print this, I don't give a f*ck. My fastball went from 79 [miles-per-hour] to like 85."
Sheen added he used anabolic steroids for three months during filming, but soon realized the downside of performance enhancing drugs.
The Anger Management star continued that he had a smart trainer, a defensive lineman in the National Football League, and knew enough sportsmen using steroids.
