As the father of the infamous Charlie Sheen, who is well-known for his partying habits, apparently Martin Sheen got his party on during the filming of Apocalypse Now. In the scene in which his character, a distressed soldier, is left alone in his room with a bottle of booze and his thoughts, Martin decided to go full method acting with lots of alcohol and his own personal problems. The scene was very much real in the fact that Martin became completely unhinged even breaking the mirror and hurting his hand, not as part of the script. Director Francis Ford Coppola attempted to stop the scene but Martin insisted that they continued.
