In 2011, Sheen called 'Two and a Half Men' creator Lorre a "stupid, stupid man" and "a little maggot.", Lorre, 71, said while he and co-creator Nick Bakay were in development on the show, he could not stop thinking he had the perfect -- but slightly complicated -- person in mind for one role.
"It was a thunderbolt," Bakay said."You know when you’re onto something good because it scared me. But also, I know Chuck well enough to know all that this meant. I knew everything that was below the waterline of that iceberg. And I knew there was a part of him that was ready to do something to turn that page on a more significant level."
It's not totally surprising, he said, as they worked together successfully for eight seasons -- a whopping 170 episodes -- on . We did 170 episodes together before it all fell apart. And more often than not, we had a good time," Lorre extemporized. "And that friendship just suddenly seemed to be there again. I don’t want to be too mawkish about it, but it was healing," he said."And he was also totally game to make fun of himself.
The pair did end up editing out a version of the original script which saw Sheen living at a rehab facility -- a request from the actor who has long fought with drug and alcohol addiction -- but said Sheen was game for everything else. Bakay added that while he initially viewed Sheen as a"wild card" element, he believes the reunification of Sheen and Lorre is a great thing for their show which comes to streaming later this month.
