00:00Charlie Sheen's mom asked if he had a gun on him before actor walked into his surprise intervention.
00:06Charlie's mom ensured he wasn't armed before his surprise intervention.
00:10The Two and a Half Men star shared this during a special clip of his documentary
00:14On Lave with Kelly and Mark, aired September 9th, a day before its Netflix release.
00:19He also discussed his memoir.
00:21In the snippet played during Live's broadcast, Sheen recalled an intervention during his heavy drug use.
00:26The Wall Street star, now nearly 8 years sober, believed he was attending his father's birthday party.
00:33So I'm looking for something that screams birthday party.
00:36And there's nothing, Charlie detailed, remembering how he opened the door to a really expertly organized circle of people gathered in the living room.
00:43And I think I'm recognizing all of them, he continued.
00:47But it's a weird mix.
00:48Why would dad have my 7th grade history teacher, Mr. Vincent, at his birthday party when no one's seen the guy for, I don't know, 15 years?
00:56Right?
00:57The live episode resumed as Kelly, Mark, and Charlie reflected on the emotional highs and lows his documentary evoked,
01:04leaving everyone deeply engaged and moved.
01:07We cheered for you.
01:08We cried for you.
01:09We were afraid for you, she admitted.
01:11It brought a lot of the recent past back.
01:13But this scene is hilariously told about your intervention.
01:16Mark pointed out how the fake birthday party was taking place really early on a Saturday morning.
01:22You show up, and you quickly realize that it's not his birthday party.
01:25Acknowledged the Riverdale actor.
01:27In response, Charlie joked,
01:29Yeah, there were a couple of clues before I walked inside.
01:31Firstly, there was no balloon on the mailbox.
01:34And then my mom stops me in the driveway, and she says,
01:37Do you have a gun on you?
01:38And I'm like,
01:39No, that's not normally how I celebrate a birthday party.
01:43I walk into basically the worst episode of This Is Your Life.
01:46He added, noting actor Rob Lowe, his trainer, and his entire family were also present at the intervention.
01:52And there was one empty seat, as I say in the book, for the guest of Dishonor.
01:56So it was like this moment.
01:59Everyone present at the intervention took turns talking before the phone rang.
02:03And Charlie's dad informed his son,
02:04Someone needs to talk to you.
02:06It's the unmistakable voice of Clint Eastwood.
02:09And he says,
02:10It's a speed bump, kid.
02:11You gotta go get tuned up.
02:13Kelly quipped,
02:14That would have scared me to death.
02:16Charlie confessed,
02:18The impossible cool factor of that.
02:20As I describe in the book,
02:21when Captain Willard hands you a receiver with Dirty Harry on the other end.
02:25It's really hard to say no to Dirty Harry.
02:27In reference to his father's role in Apocalypse Now,
02:30and Clint's character from the Dirty Harry film series.
