Charlie Sheen Reflects On Charlie Kirk’s Death: ‘Giant Star In The Night Sky Just Went Dark’

Actor Charlie Sheen shared his thoughts on the loss of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10.

The “Two and a Half Men” star is currently promoting his new memoir, “The Book of Sheen.” He appeared on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast and spoke about Kirk’s impact, among other things, saying Kirk’s death likely changed the course of history.

“It was like a giant star in the night sky just went dark,” Sheen observed.

Both Paul and Sheen agreed with what so many others are saying, that Kirk could have become president one day.

Sheen also praised Kirk’s style of debate. “He didn’t belittle anyone, he didn’t demean anyone, he didn’t embarrass anyone,” the 60-year-old actor said. “He didn’t go there to, like, be a smarty pants and make you look stupid. He was just like, ‘Hey, man, okay, here’s what I’ve prepared. Here’s what I know, here’s what I believe. Give me your side of it.'”

Sheen also discussed how he found out Kirk had been killed during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

“It’s just awful, I don’t remember what I said to Joe,” he told Paul. “Something about if this is where we’ve wound up, this can’t be where we stay. Like, what words can we all attach to this that make it feel better for us or his family, or just the moment – they haven’t been written, have they?”

Previously, Sheen compared Kirk’s murder to the assassination of JFK in 1963.

“I think, for this generation, that’s their JFK moment,” Sheen told Piers Morgan last week. “If that’s where we’ve wound up, it cannot be where we stay. … It’s too surreal to process it, the unfairness of it. … We can’t keep having days like that moving forward.”

Most Hollywood celebrities have stayed silent on Kirk’s murder, or have offered carefully worded statements while clarifying that they did not agree with any of his viewpoints. Even those social media posts have been met with backlash from followers who don’t believe Kirk’s death should be mourned at all.
