'Two and a Half Men's Jon Cryer: 'I thought Charlie Sheen was going to die'

Jon Cryer has admitted that he thought Charlie Sheen was going to die after Sheen was sacked from Two and a Half Men.

Cryer told Ellen DeGeneres that he was "worried" when Sheen gave a series of outrageous interviews about his wild lifestyle and his 'goddess' girlfriends earlier this year.

"Mostly I was worried that Charlie was going to die. That was the big fear for me. And that… that did not occur and I'm thrilled about that," Cryer said.

Sheen famously called Cryer a "traitor" for not supporting him in his feud with Two and a Half Men exec Chuck Lorre, but Sheen later apologised for the remark.

Cryer explained that he holds no grudges against Sheen, saying: "I will accept an apology both public and private. But again, it was in the heat of the moment, I imagine, when he said [that]… So I did not put a whole lot of credence in it at the time."

Cryer's interview will air on The Ellen DeGeneres Show later today.

Last week, Cryer revealed that he hasn't spoken to Sheen in a long time, but suggested that they may talk at some point in the future.
