LOS ANGELES — Hollywood hotheads Charlie Sheen and Mel Gibson will be on the same movie set in Robert Rodriguez’s movie “Machete Kills.”
Sheen was just cast to play the US president in the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Rodriguez announced Sheen’s casting on Twitter, saying, “I just cast Charlie Sheen in #machetekills as the President of the United States! Who better? More soon..”
Gibson is slated to play mad arms dealer Luther Voz in the flick, a sequel to 2010’s “Machete.” It is filming in Austin, Texas.
Sheen’s casting adds to his career rehabilitation after a very public meltdown last year that saw his exit from the hit show “Two and a Half Men.”
Sheen said in a Playboy interview recently that the episode was a “psychotic break.”
“I started to unravel,” Sheen said. “I finally just said things I had always been thinking. But in the middle of a psychotic break.”
