Jon Cryer: No One Saw the Charlie Sheen Implosion Coming (Video)

By AOL TV Editors Posted Jun 9th 2011 07:33AM

With Charlie Sheen's very public meltdown happening during the filming of the latest season of 'Two and a Half Men,' David Letterman was curious if co-star Jon Cryer or anyone else on the show saw any of this coming. On 'Late Show,' Cryer said nobody did.

"This has never happened before," Cryer said. There was no template for a star going what appeared to be crazy while starring in a popular show before.

"It wasn't like, 'Back in 1963 everybody remembers when Fred MacMurray went bats*** and started talking about freemason ninjas and stuff. He was crazy! And Vivian Vance started urinating on the set of 'Here's Lucy.''"

Cryer still considers himself good friends with Sheen, despite everything. "He called you names," Letterman reminded him. "He called you a troll or something."

"Yes," Cryer agreed. "As friends do."

I love him, he has such a good attitude about the whole thing. I'll always remember him as Duckie.

By Trisha

I love him too and always see Duckie when I see him and before they hired Ashton Kutcher, I thought the cast would carry the show just fine, but now I'm not so sure....

By BTDT

Gotta like this guy. He was great as Teddy Z.

By exoticdoc2

Yeah, no one with both eyes gouged out, their ears plugged with lead, and buried six miles underground could have ever seen Sheen was going to self-destruct.

Jon is great..I wish they didn't replace sheen..I think they could have gone a totally different way with Allen and Jake and the rest of the cast. Show us there "great" writing. Should have killed off Charlie like in the soaps.

I just started watching the show, as it's in reruns on about 8 channels 24 hours a day, and noticed a trend. Charlie's part was to just shoot off one liners and no awe inspriring acting to be found. I think Jon Cryer and the rest of the cast would be missed as they carry the show.

By Sherry

I agree. The supporting cast on this show is really the meat of the show. They are all so talented and funny. I swear, the Jake stuff just has me in hysterics all the time. He's such a ditzy teenage boy and Angus plays him SO perfectly. I just hope it stays funny with Ashton in the mix.

We've been watching it for years and as Charlie's real life started playing out in the media, it became painful to watch because it wasn't funny knowing his real life was worse than this.

Surely that's in large part because people tend to see what they want to see and are often very naive about those around them. I'd also point out that Cryer, not unlike most of that silly show's cast, has exhibited himself throughout the Sheen saga to be little more than a squeamish wimp who's likely to never publicly say exactly what he thinks about Charlie for fear of harsh verbal retribution if not worse.

By Kelley

Or maybe Cryer is being an adult about it and taking the high road!

No Kelley, he's a wimp who's afraid of being publicly scorched by Sheen and his minions if he's totally honest about how he feels. Get it now? High road, huh? lol Ah, silly women and your childish need to always think the best of folks. Oh well, don't be naive and mindless all of your life.

By Eric H

Yep, nothing like those irreplaceable and priceless memories of time spent with Duckie. Wow, what morons, please get a life.
