Charlie Sheen Admits Taking Steroids Before Filming 'Major League'

By Moviefone Editors Posted Jun 30th 2011 12:30AM

Normally, it's actual athletes that are taking steroids to bulk up, not actors playing athletes.

Charlie Sheen has just admitted in a new Sports Illustrated interview that he decided to take performance enhancers for his role as Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn in 'Major League.'

"Let's just say that I was enhancing my performance a little bit. It was the only time I ever did steroids... I did them for like six or eight weeks. You can print this, I don't give a f**k. My fastball went from 79 [miles-per-hour] to like 85."

Sheen went on to say that he quit the drug after losing control of his temper.

While on steroids, he almost got into a fight at a bar after some patrons were making fun of the wacky haircut he got for the role, "I didn't like the haircut because it generated so many comments in bars. I've got enough of that already. Add that to the mix, and it's a recipe for a fistfight," he says.

Is there a drug that Charley Sheen hasn't taken yet? I'm only half joking when I wonder if he's overdosed on Ex-Lax just to see if it would give him a buzz.

LOSING.

By 80s gal in the 80s....

I think its more like, the world has moved on from his loser life, he's no longer in the news everyday(thank God), so he got to pull some bullspit out of his hat hoping for big attention.

I've read that steroids can not only shrink a guy's "package", but also cause mental insanity. Thus explains Charlie Sheen's "behavior" as of late?

By Who Are You

he took the steroids for a movie back in the 90s.. don't think it's causing the recent mental instability.

By James

Yes, mental insanity - as opposed to the other kind.

All you kids out there...see what drugs do to you. Charlie had a dream job, lots of money, a beautiful wife and children and now all he has is his pitiful useless self. I hope it was worth it Charlie. People are laughing at you not with you.

Back when Majot League was made everybody used steroids.
College players, pro players, high school players, movie stars, TV stars, wrestlers, body builders, and a few othwer drugs.
Remember the pill called bennies..pep pills?

So, that makes it okay?

By shirl

seems like him, he can't act without some kind of drug in him

By MacD

Maybe they effected his brain.

MAYBE ???? LOL where have ya been under a rock ?

By Brian

Isn't it strange that Charlie ( an actor ) admit's using steroids in the past, get's more news coverage, than Obama ( the President )admit's using cocain in the past ?

By dmcg2008
