The award-winning actor went on to say, “It’s just so unfortunate because what’s been lost in the entire, this ridiculous and unnecessary circus, is that the initial request was just to be able to hire my own nanny. That’s all I asked for and an extra weekend… cut to two months later, this is what I’m forced to deal with.”
Sheen also revealed the he and fiancée Brooke Mueller would love to expand the Sheen brood. “Oh absolutely, we’re just dealing with what’s in front of us right now and getting through all this crap… getting back to our regularly scheduled life, then dealing with getting married and having our own family, which is exciting.”
