Hollywood star Charlie Sheen said he “changed the channel” and discovered that “legacy” media is “very much like state-run media” during a recent conversation with Megyn Kelly.

After being asked by Kelly if he is “getting more comfortable” with his politics and expressing them, Sheen replied, “I am,” adding, “I think we all, or a lot of us, remain beholden to the structure of the house that we were raised in with politics, religion, the arts, culture.”

“It’s just that those are our early influences, and, so, it’s just all I knew growing up,” the Two and a Half Men star continued. “It was, like, ‘the god guys and the bad guys,’ and, yeah, okay for a while, but then I’ve paid the most taxes of anybody in my fucking family.”

After President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, Sheen said he decided to “change the channel” to see if conservatives could convince him of anything, because he didn’t want to “feel” like he did during Trump’s first term.

“I was not going to go to bed every night feeling fucking hopeless,” he said. “I was not going to go to bed every night being told things were catastrophic — and I thought alright, I’m gonna conduct an experiment, literally, I’m going change the channel.”

“I am gonna do my own research like I’ve done with everything my entire life. I’m gonna listen other voices. I’m gonna explore, just hearing both sides of the god damn story, you know?” Sheen added.

The actor went on to say, “I was so hypnotized by what, in some ways, can be described as state-run media. I’m sorry, but it can. Legacy media is very much like that.”

“And I said, okay, alright, enough of that. I’m gonna change the channel, hear some different voices and do the research,” Sheen said. “And the things I discovered, the things that I started to really unearth.”

“It was not just one of those moments, it was like months of those moments of, ‘Oh my gosh!’ And I felt really stupid,” the Young Guns star explained. “I don’t have a fancier way to describe it, I feel really stupid.

“Some of the stuff I bought into, and some other stuff I was worshipping, and some people I was hating, because I was told I was supposed to hate them,” Sheen asserted.

Kelly then chimed in, asking, “When you walked into the ballot box and voted for Trump, how did that feel?”

“That’s another one of those examples where you feel stupid, I was still kind of on the other side,” Sheen answered, adding, “But it’s a vote I’d like to have back.”

Soooo... Charlie Sheen is hearing voices ...

Glad he walked away from the flock.

Fuck him and the diseased ridden horse he rode in on

It’s more of a hive.

The last sentence of the story. He says he wishes he could take the Trump vote back. Am I reading that correctly? So the whole story sounds like he has awoken to the other “side” might be onto something then he turns the channel and votes for Trump but then finally wishes he could take that vote back.

So it’s a story of realizing the media is Pravda and considering the other side might not be the devil. And then regretting that. Rags to riches to rags again?

He sees the light and then wants to return to the shadows. Trump is bad after all story. Gotcha. Am I reading that wrong?

I took it as he didn't vote for Trump, but wishes he could go back and change that.

My impression is that Sheen in retrospect felt he was stupid when he voted, he was still a Democrat, and would now vote differently.

That's the way I read it, as well.

He was on with Gutfeld a few weeks ago & seemed surprisingly lucid and grounded. When I first saw him I thought it could be more of the same, but he's sober & seems to have turned a corner.

I'm pulling for anyone who seeks to make a positive change to their life.

Sounds like Charlie has successfully deciphered the writing on the wall…

I read that differently. He was responding to Megyn asking him how he felt after he voted for Trump. Unless he had made that clear to her, that was a big assumption on her part. There was no mention of him revealing his vote on the posted interview.

If he did not misheard her question, then that last exchange means he did vote for Trump, and now wishes he didn't since he was "still kind of on the other side."

did he rejoin scientology?

When I read it, I thought he meant it like several of you think. Given the tone of the entire article, I think the voting question from Megyn was tongue in cheek. And his reply meant he voted for Harris...though would like that vote back.
