Charlie Sheen Reveals Steroid Use For 'Major League' Role

Wed Jun 29, 2011, 11:53 am EDT

Charlie Sheen has revealed that he took his preparations for his role in 1989's "Major League" to the extreme.

"Let's just say that I was enhancing my performance a little bit. It was the only time I ever did steroids," the actor told Sports Illustrated in an interview featured in the new "Where Are They Now?" issue.

"I did them for like six or eight weeks," he continued. "You can print this... my fastball went from 79 to like 85."

The former "Two and a Half Men" star also told the mag that character Ricky Vaughn's signature hairstyle combined with his steroid use was a dangerous combination.

"I didn't like the haircut because it generated so many comments in bars. I've got enough of that already. Add that to the mix and it's a recipe for a fistfight," he continued.

The notorious lady-lover said the movie's physical demands cut into the amount of female visitors he had on set.

I'm shocked.

One of the funniest/coolest things I saw this year was at an Indians game.....a bunch of fans wear #99 Rick Vaughn jerseys to the games.

He has got to be one of the most narcissistic people I've ever seen.

That guy is such a Moron that it was probably an excellent possibility that what he was really taking was a placebo.

 

[kristie]

He isn't dead yet?

[TellerMorrow34]

Charlie Sheen, using drugs??

Say it ain't so... that's simply un-possible...

I read that article on Yahoo, and amused to learn that Wesley Snipes is one slow black man...

Man, these things are all the rage now among entertainers. Hell, have you seen a picture of Dave Chappelle recently?

I mean I don't want to make any assumptions, but he has been skinny his entire life... and then suddenly?

Personally, I don't give a crap what they do but it really does seem like it may be turning into something more common place than I thought.
