Amid his tumultuous time starring in “Two and a Half Men,” Charlie Sheen checked himself into rehab in 2011, and infamously claimed he had “tiger blood” during an interview with ABC News. Despite all of his headline-making outbursts, Melanie Lynskey had nothing but kind words when discussing her former co-star. “I send him my best always and hope that he’s doing well,” she told Fox News in 2018 when asked about Sheen. In fact, Lynskey had high praise for the sitcom star. “But … he was a very, very generous actor to work with and was always very kind to me,” she said, while adding that the two no longer stayed in touch.
Lynskey has praised Sheen when asked about their working relationship, saying he was immensely focused. “He was so prepared,” she told BuzzFeed in 2014 while noting that Sheen was sober during the early years of the show. “He’s the only actor I’ve ever worked with I think who was off-book for every rehearsal,” Lynskey added.

During Sheen’s unceremonious departure from “Two and a Half Men,” he mentioned that all his castmates (including Lynskey) had been in touch to check in on him, except for co-star Jon Cryer. “Jon has not called me. He’s a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. Clearly he’s a troll,” Sheen told E! in 2011. Lynskey had strong feelings and she felt protective about how Sheen was treated in the media at the time.
