Charlie Sheen hopes to "reintroduce" himself to fans through his new projects.

The 60-year-old actor has grown tired of apologising for his past mistakes and is now focused on the future, hoping that his memoir and his Netflix documentary will encourage people to enjoy his acting work once again.

The Hollywood star - whose new documentary is called aka Charlie Sheen - told Interview magazine: "When people want to talk about the past and all this other frickin' s***, I'll be in a place to say, 'Well, you know what? Here's the great news, buddy. You can watch it. You can read it. You can even listen to it. Here's your hat trick of choices'.

"This is not an apology tour. Most of my fifties already were. It's a bit of a reintroduction because, dude, let's face it, there's a lot of people out there that still don't know my movies, don't know the early work, don't know the whole evolution of things. 'Oh, he's the crazy guy with the tiger blood.' I think it's a moment to just reintroduce myself to that part of my fan base."

Charlie insists that his documentary only "scratches the surface" of what he's been through in his life.

The controversial actor - who has previously battled drug problems and legal issues - also described his memoir as being "pretty frickin' cool".

Charlie - who was the highest-paid actor on TV, before his personal troubles - explained: "The doc is fabulous, and I couldn't be happier with it, but there is a moment where it only scratches the surface of certain stories, where the book then takes you on the rest of the journey with me at the helm, which is pretty frickin' cool.

"People are going to say, 'Well, I've seen the doc. Why should I buy your book?' And I'll say, 'Because there's more to the story.' In fact, there's a quote in the book that says, 'Just because you've reached the bottom of the page doesn't mean you've made it to the end of the story.'"
