It is being widely reported that Ashton Kutcher is in talks to replace Charlie Sheen in the hit comedy Two And A Half Men. Ashton has twittered a message that has fueled speculation of the reports. Ashton’s tweet read;
“What’s the square root of 6.25?” As the answer is 2.5, naturally it has been taken by some as confirmation of the rumors.”
Lately there has been a string of big names connected to rumors of who will take over Charlie Sheen’s role, including, Rob Lowe, Woody Harrelson, Jeremy Piven and John Stamos. The latest was Hugh Grant, but discussions of a deal soon broke down, “creative differences” was the given reason.
CBS and Warner Bros. have neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. Two and a Half Men is the most-watched TV comedy in the US with about 15 million regular viewers. Clearly there’s an interest in trying to keep the show alive but can Charlie Sheen be replaced?
