10 years ago, actor Charlie Sheen made headlines for his bizarre and unusual behavior where he uttered previously unheard colloquial terms like "winning" and "tiger blood" during interviews, which were infamously made into hashtags.

During that time, Sheen was struggling in his personal life with drug addiction, but he was also one of Hollywood's most highly paid actors, making $2 million an episode for Two and a Half Men. However, his tumultuous relationship with the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, would damage his career severely, and he was later fired from the beloved sitcom.

In a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Sheen looked back at those outlandish moments and expressed serious regret.

"People have [said to] me, 'Hey, man, that was so cool, that was so fun to watch. That was so cool to be a part of and support and all that energy and, you know, we stuck it to the man,'" Sheen shared. "My thought behind that is, 'Oh, yeah, great. I'm so glad that I traded early retirement for a f****** hashtag.'"

The actor shared that the drugs he was taking seriously affected his mental state and contributed to his public meltdown. Sheen also admitted that instead of people making light of his actions and his "winning" hashtag, he wished someone had actually asked him if he needed help.

"I think it was drugs or the residual effects of drugs...and it was also an ocean of stress and a volcano of disdain. It was all self-generated, you know," Sheen stated, adding, "I was getting loaded and my brain wasn't working right."

He elaborated, saying that, in hindsight, he's disturbed by the number of people responded to his breakdown with support of his behavior. "That guy...needed someone to reach out and say...'How can we help?' And instead they showed up in droves with banners and songs, all types of fanfare and celebration of, you know, what I think was a very public display of a mental health moment.'"

Today, Sheen is focusing on a new show, and hopes that moving forward, his fans will admire him as the actor they always loved, and not for his "famous phrases."

"I just, I have absolute faith that the things I'm going to do professionally in Act 3 are going to put a muzzle on all that stuff and people can celebrate me again for what I actually do for a living," Sheen said.

While he accepts his past actions and knows people will continue to use his famous "winning" phrase, he is hopeful for his future as an actor. He also hopes that his speaking out on this matter will help others in similar situations to see the way out, and that the people surrounding them will pick up on the signs sooner.
