Actor Charlie Sheen has prompted speculation that his sitcom Two and a Half Men may end after releasing a statement about his role on the show.
Sheen, John Cryer and the rest of the cast wrapped filming on the hit series’ seventh season at the weekend to a standing ovation.
“If tonight’s show is the end for me as Charlie Harper, so be it,” said Sheen in a statement.
“Another journey has begun. I take from the experience 161 shows filled with kaleidoscope of amazing experiences, memories and friendships and gratitude. I remain humbly inspired.”
“Charlie got a standing ovation at the end of the taping, but offered very little emotion if it was his final curtain,” said an insider.
Reports surfaced earlier this month that Sheen, who earns about $825,000 per episode, wanted a salary increase before signing up for an eight series of the top-rated sitcom.
But in a statement released to People magazine on Friday, the actor said: “All of the numbers reported in the press are false.
“Claims from ‘inside sources’ regarding offers from the studio as well as my salary, on their best day, are without merit.”
Sheen denied he was making a last-minute bid for more money. “Approaching the start of the current season and as far back as June 2009, I submitted my terms for season eight to Warner Bros. and CBS respectfully.
“In no way, has this been a hasty or negligent 11th hour surprise.”
