Starting as he meant to go on, Charlie Sheen reveals he lost his virginity to a Las Vegas prostitute

Charlie Sheen stole his father's credit card to pay for a night of passion in a hotel room when he was 15.

The 46-year-old actor had the "greatest night of his life" with flame-haired prostitute Candy while his father Martin Sheen was sleeping in the room next door. He even paid for his 15-year-old cousin Joey to have a sexual encounter with Candy when he had finished.

He revealed: "I told Joey, 'Look, this is my dad's credit card, you're going second. He was thrilled. He didn't give a s**t."

But two weeks later Charlie's father was curious to know what his mystery credit card transaction was for, and when the former Two and a Half Men actor confessed, his dad said he was only concerned that he hadn't mistaken his night of passion "for love".

He explained: "Then two weeks later, my father wanted to know about his Friendly Introductions LLC , Las Vegas, bill on his statement. I explained it. His whole concern was that I didn't mistake that for love. I'm still trying to process that one."

Sheen, who was sacked from Two and a Half Men last March for partying with prostitutes and slamming the show's creator Chuck Lorre, is still addicted to women, but doesn't think he's a "lothario".

The actor, who has five children and has been married three times, added: "People think I'm a bit of a rogue, of a cad, a lothario, a guy who's in a lot of s**t that would lead to a constellation of kink and oddities, and I'm not. I just love women. I love them."
