We hope that Robert Rodriguez knows what he is getting himself in for, as the director appears to have made a bizarre move in casting Charlie Sheen to star in his new film, the sequel to his Grindhouse debut movie Machete, Machete Kills.
The film, which is rather dark and whacky in nature, may be suited to Charlie after his incessant ramblings and odd behaviour over the last year. However, we didn't think we'd see the day when a director would cast mad dog Charlie Sheen as President of the United States!
That's right, Robert Tweeted a photo of the pair hanging out with the caption,
'I just cast Charlie Sheen in #machetekills as the President of the United States! Who better? More soon...' Who better indeed.
If that wasn't surprising enough it appears as though Robert has also cast the much-talked-about Mel Gibson, who will star as an eccentric billionaire arms dealer supposedly determined to launch a deadly missile. We can't decide whether this is perfect casting, or if Robert is trying to run some kind of shamed actors out-reach programme.
Other celebrities signed up to star in the action packed film include Jessica Alba, Danny Trejo, Zoe Saldana and Amber Heard.
Despite having a very credible acting past, the decision may shock movie buffs as the world witnessed the sad decline Charlie in the past two years. However, the actor seems to have reigned in his behaviour and has appeared to have quieten down in recent months.
The star even confessed that when he finishes filming new show Anger Management, he may retire from acting altogether. He reveals,
"At some point you just get tired of wearing somebody else's clothes, saying somebody else's words and working in somebody else's space"
We just hope Robert is prepared to chaperone and foot the bill for any staff nights out.
