On another note, Martin’s other son Charlie Sheen is also dealing with health issues, which he showed up on The Today Show to confirm his son’s HIV-positive issue. According to ET, Martin spoke at CME Group's Global Financial Leadership Conference in Naples, Florida, where he revealed he had been encouraging the 50-year-old Two and a Half Men star "for several months," along with the rest of the Sheen family.
"This morning, as I watched him alone, reveal his deepest, darkest secret, I couldn't believe the level of courage I was witnessing, and that it was my son," Martin said. "I left him a message, and I said that if I had that much courage, I would change the world."
