Okay, we’ve covered Charlie Sheen quite a lot lately, and there are still more things to talk about regarding the guy. But, how much about Charlie Sheen do you really know?

Charlie Sheen was born Carlos Irwin Estévez on September 3, 1965 in New York City to showbiz celebrities Martin Sheen and Janet Templeton. How did he get his screen name? His dad, Martin, adopted the name Sheen in honor of the Catholic archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Carlos Irwin followed suit.

Charlie Sheen showed interest in showbiz at an age when most of us are still deeply into Barney. At the age of nine in 1974, Charlie embarked on an acting career in the television movie The Execution of Private Slovik, right alongside good old dad. In high school, his interest in acting continued on with his buddies Rob Lowe, Chad Lowe and Chris Penn. As he continued to pursue his acting career, his school had to expel him just a few weeks before graduation for ‘poor grades and bad attendance.’

Charlie and his parents are not the only ones in the family who have an inclination to entertain. Charlie’s siblings Emilio Estevez, Ramon Estevez and Renée Estevez all shared the same spotlight.

In the past, Charlie became involved in a string of controversial relationships that cost him his credibility. Among the unfortunate events then was when he accidentally shot his then-fiancé, Kelly Preston, in the arm, ending their relationship afterwards.

Here are some more interesting trivia on Charlie Sheen from IMDB.com:

• Was born a ‘blue baby.’ The doctor who saved him was named Irwin and his parents named him after the doctor.
• He fought constantly with older brother Emilio Estevez.
• He was a good student but then let his grades slip when he skipped school in high school to play baseball.
• He had dreams of pitching for a baseball team.
• Listed as one of twelve “Promising New Actors of 1986″ in John Willis’ Screen World, Vol. 38.
• Was considered for Tom Cruise’s role in Born on the Fourth of July (1989).
• His first film with George Clooney stayed unreleased because of FX problems.

Throw in the swanky shirts he wears as a Two and a Half Men co-lead, and you’ve definitely got to love Charlie Sheen for staying cool and popular after all these years.

They say third time’s the charm and so far, with twin boys and a smooth entrance into the second year of their marriage, Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller seem to be proving the adage right. Their lives have been on an upward swing since they met in 2006, and already it appears that these two are already moving forward in life together.

The two lovers were first introduced to one another by real-life spouses Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane, both successful television actors just like Charlie Sheen. At the time, Sheen was in the middle of a tumultuous and highly public divorce.

Brooke Mueller, on the other hand, was an actress trying to make a name for herself. Using her screen name Brooke Allen she had only a handful of acting credits to her name. She has since left the entertainment scene and moved on to a career as a real estate investor.

Amid the wild and crazy goings-on in Sheen’s life, the two still managed to lead a fairly quiet dating relationship for the early months of 2007. By the time July of that year, Charlie sheen proposed to Brooke at a Costa Rican beach. As for the ring, it was a platinum, 11-carat yellow diamond ring designed by famed London jeweler Lord Alon Barak.

They would wed a year later in rites at Los Angeles, on May 30, 2008. Mueller was 30 years and Sheen 42. It was a simple ceremony with 60 guests, and Charlie’s third trip down the aisle since. The honeymoon was at Costa Rica, where Charlie proposed.

Much unlike his previous marriages, Charlie Sheen’s marriage with Mueller has been quite tranquil and warm. In an OK Magazine quote, he said that he said to friends “…this feels like my first real marriage… this one is the real deal.”
