Ice Bucket Challenge: Charlie Sheen Does Challenge for ALS with a Twist
Several videos of famous celebrities doing the "Ice Bucket Challenge" circulated on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter in order to raise awareness for ALS (Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Charlie Sheen accepted the challenge, but the "Anger Management" actor did a different twist.
Instead of ice water coming out of the bucket, the 48-year-old had cash poured over his head amounting to $10,000. Charlie Sheen revealed in his "Ice Bucket Challenge" video that he will be donating the money to the ALS foundation.
Charlie Sheen pointed out in the video TMZ obtained that ice melts and money can actually help the people in need. Then, the actor called out to "Two and a Half Men" stars Jon Cryer and Ashton Kutcher as well as the show's creator and producer Chuck Lorre to do exactly what he just did.
"Come on, it's for a great cause. Have a great day," Sheen urged. Click HERE to watch the video.
Jon Cryer responded to the challenge on his Twitter account @MrJonCryer on Monday, Aug. 18. "Challenges Accepted!!" the "Two and a Half Men" star posted in response to Charlie Sheen's nomination as well as Ashton Kutcher, who challenged him after doing the "Ice Bucket Challenge" during the weekend with his "That '70s Show" co-star Wilmer Valderrama.
As for Chuck Lorre, the creator of "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory" has not shared his video yet accepting the "Ice Bucket Challenge." Meanwhile, a Guardian Liberty Voice report claimed there are some reports that think Charlie Sheen ruined the "Ice Bucket Challenge" because of what he did with some complaining that the actor is showing off the money that he has.
However, Charlie Sheen did not really ruin the idea of the "Ice Bucket Challenge" but the actor simply did it in his own way to stress that donating money is the right thing to do to help people. After all, the people who refused to do the challenge after getting nominated were encouraged to donate money to the ALS organization.
The "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" still continues with videos being shared online using the hashtag #IceBucketChallenge for others to see. Several big names already took part in the challenge such as Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates as well as famous celebrities and music artists like Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Hiddleston, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga.
Challenges accepted!! @aplusk @tophergrace @wvalderama @daxshepard1 @charliesheen http://t.co/7NDrzC3GH7
