Charlie Sheen reveals how partying with surprising A-list actor led to intervention
Charlie Sheen partied so hard with Nicolas Cage that it led to his first intervention and rehab.
The actor, 60, details in his memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” that he ran into “my old pal Nicolas Cage” while filming the 1990 movie “The Rookie,” which “opened the door to a different warehouse of mischief.”.
The duo teamed up with three more friends to form a group dubbed “J-.”.

“We stumbled through night after madhatted night like some mobile Mardi Gras looking for the next guardrail to barrel through,” Sheen writes, admitting that he “stopped caring” about work and “it became impossible to conceal my sloppiness on set with Clint [Eastwood].”.
Sheen remembers that towards the end of filming, he was invited to his parents’ for a party celebrating his father Martin Sheen’s 0th birthday, which turned out to be an intervention with family and friends, including Rob Lowe.
The “Platoon” star was whisked off to Saint John’s hospital in Santa Monica, Calif.
However, Sheen was irked because he had previous plans to travel down to Palm Springs for a Hawaiian Tropic bikini contest with himself and Cage as judges.
The tale is recounted in Sheen’s memoir. AP.
Sheen managed to finagle his way out of rehab for the night by promising the nurse that he would give her $1 million if he didn’t return the following morning by 9 a.m.
“The trip was a bona fide Class 3 blowout,” he writes, admitting that he doesn’t remember most of it but does recall scoring a bag of coke which he shared with a “lovely gal.”.
Sheen returned to rehab at 8:44 a.m.
The “Major League” star also writes about his HIV diagnosis and years of infamous behavior in “The Book of Sheen,” which is out now.
