Actor Martin Sheen said he
wishes he had the courage of his son Charlie Sheen, who has
revealed he's HIV-positive, the Associated Press reported
Wednesday.
Sheen spoke Tuesday during an event at The Ritz-Carlton
resort in Naples, Florida, hours after his son's appearance on
NBC's Today show.
According to the Naples Daily News (http://bit.ly/1MBhgRP),
Sheen said his 50-year-old son had been working up to the
announcement for months with his family's encouragement.
Sheen said that as he watched his son reveal "his deepest,
darkest secret, I couldn't believe the level of courage I was
witnessing, and that it was my son."
Sheen encouraged support for people struggling with drug
and alcohol addictions.
