Charlie Sheen Reveals What Caused His 'Tiger Blood' Meltdown

At one point, Charlie Sheen was the highest paid actor on TV for his work on Two and a Half Men. It was known to everyone that he was earning over a million dollars per episode! In 2011, everything changed for Charlie, and he had a very public meltdown. He never addressed the reason for his bizarre behavior during that phase of his life, but now he's opening up about what caused the meltdown. He even gave an update to his health a year after he announced that he was HIV positive. 

In 2011, Charlie gave several interviews that would become very memorable. 

He coined the phrase "winning" and also discussed having "Adonis DNA."

But the one thing most people remember is Charlie saying he had "tiger blood" running through his veins. 

And now Charlie is opening up to explain what caused his infamous tiger blood phase. 

Charlie revealed that the meltdown was caused by using "way too much testosterone cream."

"It metabolizes into basically a roid rage. The whole odyssey, that was basically an accidental roid rage."

Charlie also reflected on that time in his life, and it looks like he's come to terms with it. "But there's some good quotes that came out of it, right? There's a few fun moments. So bizarre. It's so bizarre."

"I think, ultimately, in our blueprint, in our DNA, I believe that we are the sum total of all of our experiences, good and bad. But they don't lead the charge. It's fun to kind of watch sometimes, but also just a little bit cringeable."

Charlie also had some positive updates to share about his health! 

He said that he's part of a study for a new HIV treatment. He even considers himself to be an advocate!

"I feel like I'm carrying the torch for a lot of folks out there that are suffering from the same thing." 

It's great to hear that Charlie is doing okay! SHARE if you want Charlie to make a comeback!
