Together Again
Well Kind of…
Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards will soon reunite — onscreen.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Wednesday that Richards has secured a guest spot in the soon-to-air “Anger Management,” Sheen’s first major TV project since he was ousted from “Two and a Half Men” in March 2011.
In the series, debuting June 28, Sheen portrays a professional baseball player-turned unlikely anger management therapist. Richards will play Lori, a business partner of Sheen’s on-screen ex, TV Line reported Wednesday.
The soon-to-be costars have come a long way since Richards filed to divorce Sheen in April 2006 after three years of marriage. In the divorce docs, Richards accused the actor of drug abuse and threatening to kill her, People reported at the time. Fast forward nearly six years, and in January 2012 — shortly after the pair were photographed vacationing in Mexico with daughters, Sam, 8, and Lola, 6 — Richards told “Access Hollywood” that she and Sheen had “actually become like brother and sister.”
The pair, who’ve previously appeared together in “Two and a Half Men” and “Spin City,” aren’t the first famous ex-couple to bury the hatchet and work together onscreen. Click through the slideshow below to see other exes who’ve done the same.
