Martin Sheen chose not to participate in his son Charlie Sheen’s Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen, explaining that he wanted to avoid being “complicit” if the project turned out poorly.
Director Andrew Renzi recalled Martin saying he needed to remain free to stand by Charlie no matter what, and that appearing in the film could compromise that support.
Charlie’s brother Emilio Estevez also declined to take part, believing the stories were Charlie’s to tell.
Although Martin and Emilio were absent, Charlie emphasized that both fully supported him and understood why they didn’t want to revisit painful memories tied to his struggles with addiction.
Renzi noted that the family had lived through difficult times and likely didn’t want to relive them on camera.
Charlie later shared that his father did watch the documentary and responded with laughter, tears, and engagement, joking that he’d rather be remembered as his younger self than appear as “this old guy” in the film.
The two‑part documentary, released in September 2025, chronicled Charlie’s rise to fame and subsequent battles with substance abuse.
While ex‑wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, and co‑star Jon Cryer participated, Ramon Estevez was the only family member featured.
Charlie described the project as a love letter to his father, reflecting on their past conflicts and reconciliation.
He concluded by dedicating the film to Martin, saying their relationship had grown into something “beautiful” and full of gratitude.
