In the world of television, on-screen chemistry often masks the drama behind the screen for of course those who we see on the screen are actors, having an impeccable ability to mask their emotions. This was the case with Two and a Half Men‘s iconic duo, Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer, whose dynamic kept millions of fans engaged, unbeknownst to them of Charlie’s struggle off the screen.

However, not only were the fans unaware, but even Cryer had no knowledge of his co-star’s struggles despite working with him for years. It wasn’t until the last season that he started to notice the signs.
