Chuck Lorre is looking back on his time with Charlie Sheen. Ahead of the Oct. 13 release of his new memoir 'Sitcom,' the ‘Two and a Half Men’ creator exclusively told E! News about Charlie Sheen’s final days on the show in 2011, describing them as “dark” and “frightening." He shared, “We were frightened that Charlie might get hurt, that someone else might get hurt. This was no longer about misbehavior.” The Emmy nominee’s exit from the show resulted in a recasting process that eventually saw Ashton Kutcher join the cast—but in his memoir, Lorre reveals that ‘Notting Hill’ actor Hugh Grant was once in negotiations to replace Sheen. E! News reached out to a rep for Grant for comment but has not yet heard back. Additionally, Lorre described a time in his career where he pushed back against an executive who wanted to put a thinner actress in a fat suit to play the lead in his 2010s sitcom ‘Mike & Molly’ in place of Melissa McCarthy.
