Before he was fired, however, Sheen was the highest-paid actor on TV and seemed to have a good relationship with the rest of the cast and crew. His co-star Jon Cryer, who played his brother Alan Harper in the sitcom, won his first Emmy for his role in 2009. The ceremony saw Sheen being extremely happy for his co-star’s victory.

Once the winner was announced, Sheen looked genuinely happy for his co-star and even hugged Jon Cryer before the actor went on stage to receive the award (viaYouTube). Fans were quick to notice the camaraderie between the two.
Charlie is genuinely happy for Jon! That’s what you call a good friend. Jon Cryer deserved to win!! Without the character Alan, the show would not be funny.

He’s a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. … Is it going to take me calling him a ‘traitor, juvenile, and scared’ for him to get it?… When I’m starring in multimillion-dollar films and he’s begging me for a supporting role, I’ll say, ‘You left me out in the cold with all of your guilt and stupidity.’
