Mira Sorvino Recalls a Tumultuous Relationship with Charlie Sheen
In an exclusive interview with Emegypt, Mira Sorvino shared memories of a chaotic period in the ’90s with actor Charlie Sheen, marked by a dramatic marriage proposal under compromising circumstances. Sorvino, promoting her Broadway debut, recounted Sheen’s drug-influenced proposal, “asking [her] to marry [him] in the car” while high on crack. She expressed her disapproval, saying, “Not like this,” which prompted Sheen to ask if he could continue smoking. Sorvino, 58, and Sheen, 60, have been friends and had mutual crushes over the years.
Charlie Sheen and Mira Sorvino’s Divergent Memories
Sorvino’s recollection contrasts sharply with Sheen’s narrative in his recently published memoir, “The Book of Sheen.” The “Platoon” star recounted an encounter in 1998 at guitarist Slash’s house, describing Sorvino’s alleged plea for him to seek help, offering a controversial incentive. Sorvino, amused upon hearing this version, emphasized that their interaction was not as Sheen described. “I would beg to differ,” she says, clarifying her fondness for Sheen and dismissing his claims about her proposition. Sheen’s publicist has not commented on these revelations.
Mira Sorvino Embraces Broadway as Roxie Hart in “Chicago”
Amid these reflections, Sorvino thrives in her new role as Roxie Hart in the long-running musical “Chicago” on Broadway. The “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” star is enthusiastic about her portrayal of Roxie, describing the experience as “very heady” and “very intense.” Sorvino’s unique interpretation presents Roxie as more innocent and vulnerable, offering a fresh take on a character that has been a fixture for over 30 years.
Sorvino Uses Her Voice for a Greater Cause
Apart from her Broadway commitments, Sorvino is also participating in the celebrity edition of “Name That Tune,” which airs on Monday. The Oscar winner is playing to support End Human Trafficking, a charity close to her heart after her involvement in a mini-series on the subject. Sorvino shared the profound impact of meeting victims of trafficking in the U.S., noting, “My life changed because I talked to these women who had been trafficked… and I could not look away.”
Despite the demanding schedule, Sorvino is committed to making a difference and relishing the opportunity to shine on stage and television. Her involvement in these diverse projects showcases not only her versatile talents but also her profound dedication to social causes.
