Actor Sheen says he is Jewish

March 6, 2011


LOS ANGELES (JTA) --Actor Charlie Sheen, who has been accused of anti-Semitism, claims that he is a Jew and proud of it.

During a morning phone call to the Access Hollywood Live show March 4, Sheen told hosts Billy Bush and Kit Hoover, "My mom [actress Janet Templeton] is Jewish. Here's where it gets confusing – we don't know who her father was.

"But she is, in fact, Jewish. So, I guess that would make me Jewish, and my children Jewish. And Brooke [Mueller], my ex-wife, is Jewish. So, I guess I should have rolled that out too."

A perplexed Bush told Sheen, "You're getting accused of anti-Semitic remarks – you might want to say, 'By the way, I'm Jewish!"

Sheen responded, "I know, I know – stupid me. I just got caught sleeping. Caught napping. Which is rare for me. Anyho…..But, I'm proud of it. There you have it."

Sheen, 45, star of the hit TV comedy "Two and a Half Men," which has been suspended for the rest of this season and may be cancelled, is accustomed to controversy. 

Last month, he lashed out at the Anti-Defamation League, which charged that Sheen exhibited "borderline anti-Semitism" in referring to his producer, Chuck Lorre, by his Hebrew name Chaim Levine.

Sheen, whose birth name is Carlos Irwin Estevez, has a long history of drug and alcohol abuse

 During Friday's call-in, Sheen also announced that he and actor Sean Penn would travel to Haiti in support of Penn's relief effort for the earthquake-stricken country.

    This article really doesn't adequately answer the question of "Why the Jews?"

    I think non-Jews hate Jews because they have significant influence on wealth and education wherever they reside. The rest of the population is jealous and envious of their successes and their controlling power. And in many instances, the Jews have abused their control and power to the detriment of non-Jews. This only increases the hatred of the Jews. It's easy to blame those who have abused their power of violence and other atrocities against non-Jews. The State of Israel is a primary example of this, even though the Palestinians have committed many more violent acts against the Jews than vice-versa. It is clearly intended as a Theocracy, which is going to discriminate against non-Jews. 

    Of course, Israel would have to go a looooong way to be more violent against "Others" than are all the States of Islam. Nothing compares to their hateful and violent discrimination against non-Islamists. But the Arabs are not as intelligent or successful as the Jews, and therefore Western Culture is going to be more prejudiced against the Jews for now.......but I think that is changing with time. Western culture is waking to the horrors of Islam, and beginning to see it as more threatening than the decreasing number of Jews in the world.

    Not many really admire success. Most actually hate it!
