Sheen show axed
Charlie Sheen's 'Anger Management' has been axed.
The 49-year-old actor and his co-stars and crew members were told the news on Friday and it has now been made public, just hours before the 100th episode and series finale of the show - which was commissioned for an initial 10 episodes in 2012 and automatically had another 90 ordered after hitting a ratings requirement for FX - airs in the US tonight.
Despite the career blow, Charlie - who has a grown up daughter Cassandra from a relationship with Paula Profit, daughters Sam, 10, and Lola, nine, with second wife Denise Richards, and twin sons Bob and Max, five, with third spouse Brooke Mueller - has issued a gracious statement in which he spoke of his "pride" in the show's run.
He told RadarOnline.com: "I am beyond proud of what we accomplished over the course of 100 episodes of 'Anger Management'.
"We created something uniquely special with some of the most talented individuals I have ever had the privilege to work with. My sincere thanks to all for their unwavering love and support. Here's to the next chapter."
Charlie can next be seen in a cameo role in 'The Goldbergs', but in the immediate future is looking forward to a family Christmas.
His publicist said: "Charlie is planning on spending the holidays with his family, children and friends and looks forward to what 2015 has to offer."
