According to the director, both of them declined to appear in the documentary, but not because they weren’t supportive of it.<\/p>\n

He revealed: “They wanted to let Charlie have this moment. I sat down with them to watch the movie, and they are fully supportive of it and love it. They are all very close.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in a sense Martin Sheen is in almost every episode of the documentary consistently, as he also struggled with addiction when Charlie was growing up.<\/p>\n

Charlie Sheen explained in a podcast: “I thought that it was kind of almost beautifully poetic to have to tell the story without him.<\/p>\n

“From my perspective, Martin, as a father, didn\u2019t want to just have some guy sit across from him and make him relive all of those moments, which he feels are behind him now. That\u2019s something I really respected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The director added: “There is not a father-and-son duo in the history of entertainment who have shared the screen as much as Charlie and Martin have.<\/p>\n

“Charlie\u2019s character [in Wall Street] was the son who had lost his way, and the father wants to get him back on track. And I thought it was a great way to have Martin live in this movie.<\/p>\n

“They were living this journey together while taking on roles that told this story. I needed to make sure it was a part of this documentary.\u201d<\/p>\n
