After spending eight years working together on the set of Two And A Half Men, Jon Cryer opened up about his experience with Charlie Sheen. The duo played on-screen brothers, Alan and Charlie Harper, who hilariously lived very different lives all under the same roof. Fans adored the duo and, of course, Cryer's TV son, Angus T. Jones, making for what was one of the best sitcoms in television history.

During this period, Charlie Sheen underwent his divorce from actress Denise Richards and began to turn to drugs and alcohol again. This ultimately led Sheen down a dark path and left the show's executives with no other choice but to officially let him go.

After eight seasons, Charlie Sheen was no longer part of the production and was written out, allowing for Ashton Kutcher's character to flawlessly make his entrance. While production managed to figure out a solution, things simply weren't the same.

Even though Jon and Charlie had great on-screen chemistry with one another and fans would love to see them team up for another project, Jon has his reservations about working with Charlie again. This, despite knowing that Charlie is seemingly doing better than he was over a decade ago.

"Charlie is doing a lot better now, which is wonderful," Jon explained. "He and I have not spoken in a few years, but he's doing a lot better, which obviously I'm very happy about."

Jon went on to say, "When Two and a Half Men was happening, Charlie was like, the highest-paid actor in television," Cryer continued. "Yet, he blew it up, so you kind of have to think. I love him, I wish him the best, he should live in good health for the rest of his life, but I don’t know if I want to get in business with him for any length of time."

It appears that Jon has learned his lesson about working with Charlie. While it would be fun to do it again, not knowing if the behavior could change is something Jon would prefer to not have to worry about when working.
