TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Actor Charlie Sheen toured an Alabama neighborhood leveled by tornadoes and said Monday that he wants to organize a relief event for victims in the state.
After going through the decimated Alberta neighborhood in Tuscaloosa, Sheen said he was working with local officials to organize a benefit. He said a date has not been set.
“I want some money, hope, faith and healing to the area,” said Sheen, the former star of the sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” Sheen, fired from the show in March, has since launched a controversial stage tour.
The actor, wearing a University of Alabama baseball cap, said he decided to visit after receiving an invitation via Twitter from a University of Alabama student. David Harris of Mobile had asked in a tweet Saturday whether he would be willing to perform a relief show in Alabama, Sheen said. Sheen planned to spend the day in Tuscaloosa meeting with residents and first responders. “I hope he’s sincere when he says he’ll come back,” said Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox. The Associated Press
