Charlie Sheen to bank $7m whilst his brother admits to being poor role model
21 March 2011
The troubled actor - who recently announced plans to expand his 'Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option' tour to 21 dates around the US - will reportedly cash in on the tell-all live shows.
According to gossip website TMZ, the former 'Two and a Half Men' star - who is currently residing alongside his two live-in "goddesses", porn star Bree Olsen and part-time model Natalie Kenly - will pocket millions from the tour, as well as paid after-party appearances and merchandising revenue.
Charlie's show will mostly be performed from memory in a style akin to "Muhammed Ali in his prime", with his "goddesses" also potentially set to make an appearance.
Joey Scott, the 45-year-old actor's co-producer, told E! Online: "It will be like Muhammed Ali in his prime. He will do most of it from memory, he's that talented."
The star - who recently filed a $100million lawsuit against 'Two and Half Men' co-creator Chuck Lorre and Warner Brothers Television claiming he was unfairly sacked from the sitcom following his public meltdown - recently admitted he was losing his mind.
This came after Charlie's estranged wife Brooke Mueller was given custody of the former couple's two-year-old twins Bob and Max.
He said: "I'm really starting to lose my mind. Brooke can't keep them from me. I won't let her - I'll do anything to get them back.
"I'm really trying to contain myself right now. My lawyer wants to come over to my house and take the bullets out of my gun."
Meanwhile Sheen's brother fears he may have to be "taken out" in a mafia style.
Emilio Estevez said he might take drastic action to keep him in line.
Emilio - who is also an actor as well as a film director - said: "There's that thing in 'The Godfather: Part II' of, 'I love you, Fredo, you're my brother, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family.
"Then Michael Corleone has to have Fredo 'taken out' on the boat. There are times, like these, when I want to take Charlie our for a boat ride.
"Charlie should know that he might have a boat ride in the future. Someone's got to be Michael Corleone."
Emilio, 48, admitted, however, he didn't set a great example for his younger brother when they were growing up, and has also had his fair share of wild behaviour.
He added to the Sunday Times: "All I can do for Charlie, and I can't live his life for him, is to try and be an example. But really, I was a pretty poor one.
"As a kid, I was smart enough to be surreptitious about my misbehaviour, or at least stealthy. But it means my opinions carry little weight with Charlie."
Emilio's latest film 'The Way' is in UK cinemas from May 13.
