The bad boy image Charlie Sheen earned long before his Christmas Day arrest once seemed little more than a laughing matter to wife Brooke Mueller. Seven months before she dialed 911 to report her firsthand take on the actor’s bad behavior, Mueller explained how she saw Sheen.

“It’s hysterical to me that he has this reputation,” Mueller told In Touch Weekly. “Charlie is just amazing.”

So amazing, evidently, that the “Two and a Half Men” star’s laundry list of low moments hardly registered with his bride. That’s quite the oversight considering the highlights include a $50,000 call-girl tab, a “no contest” plea to past battery charges and an accidental gunshot wound to short-term fiancée Kelly Preston, just to name a few.

Then again, at the time of the In Touch interview, even Sheen spoke of himself in strictly clean-slate terms, boasting “over a decade of being a sober, law-abiding member of society.”
