Ramón Gerardo Antonio Estévez the 70 year old actor known by his stage name as Martin Sheen and for his notable activism for liberal politics and labor rights, has likened his son Carlos Irwin Estévez’s (Charlie Sheen) battle with substance abuse as like having “cancer.” Estévez made the comments as his 45 year old sons acting career imploded, resulting in him receiving rehabilitation treatment for alcohol and drug abuse. Estévez believes his son will overcome his addictions and go on to star in further movies, however his son’s erratic behavior appears to be reaching new heights as he indulges in violent alcohol and cocaine binges with porn stars.
