Charlie Sheen is an American actor. He is the son of actor Martin Sheen (born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez) and Janet Templeton. He has three siblings, actors Emilio Estévez, Ramón Estevez, and Renée Estevez. Charlie has five children, one with his former partner, Paula Profit, two with his former wife, actress Denise Richards, and two with his former wife, actress Brooke Mueller.
Charlie’s father is of half Spanish and half Irish ancestry. Charlie’s maternal grandmother’s ancestry included English and Scottish. His father is Catholic and his mother is Baptist.
In 2011, when Charlie was accused of making an anti-Jewish comment, he stated that his mother is Jewish. It appears that this is not correct. At the very least, Charlie’s maternal grandmother was definitely not Jewish.
Charlie’s paternal grandfather was Francisco Estévez Martinez (the son of Jose Manuel N. Estévez Fernandez and Dolores Martinez). Francisco was born in Parderrubias, Salceda de Caselas, Galicia. Jose was the son of Augustín Estévez Martinez and Maria/Maita/Marta Fernandez Baquíero/Baquero. Dolores was the daughter of Carmen Martinez.
Charlie’s paternal grandmother was Mary Anne Phelan (the daughter of Michael James Phelan and Anna/Anne Jane McGlin). Charlie’s grandmother Mary Anne was born in Borrisokane, Tipperary, Ireland. Michael was the son of Patrick Phelan and Margaret Drennan. Charlie’s great-grandmother Anna was the daughter of John McGlin and Jane Rogers.
It is unclear who Charlie’s biological maternal grandfather was.
Charlie’s maternal grandmother was Lena/Lee Ann Helene/Helen Martin (the daughter of Thomas/Tom Samuel Martin and Martha Fayette Flint/Flynt). Lena was born in Kentucky, and had English and Scottish ancestry. Thomas was the son of Ananias Martin and Parthenia Osborne. Martha was the daughter of Hyrum/Hiram Flint and Mary Porter/Prater.
Charlie is a third cousin, twice removed, of publisher Larry Flynt. Charlie’s maternal great-great-great-great-grandparents, John James Flint and Fada McFarland, were also Larry’s paternal great-great-grandparents.

There are North Americans of white descent who have changed their names and who are actors. It has nothing to do with being ashamed of their racial background. But being that Charlie Sheen is part Spanish some people assume that he might be ashamed of his heritage. I don’t think that there is any race out there that does not have skeletons in their closet. I hate making this into a racial issue , but it gets tiring of having to defend against ignorance.
He’s Proud of his Heritage Reason why he Used a Stage name was to skip the confusion in Showbiz .
Aaaaaah poor americans, When will you learn?,hahahaha. Now seriously. Listen up. The word spanish is exclusive for everything about Spain except if we are talking about the language that we share with almost all the countries of LatinAmerica. If they say that Charlie Sheen is an spanish descendant it is obviously they are talking of Spain. You have a big problem with your language cos u use the word spanish for every country where spanish is the language but for everything and that’s why you are lost many times. In spanish each country has a unique word that refers to that country. U really should have it too. I hope it helped
thank you! omg u dont know how many people at my school think that spanish is mexican! im spanish and mexican and its really frustrating explaining that like 20 billion times and when i first say im mexican and spanish they always say isnt that the same? NO ITS NOT!
