Former Two and a half Men actor Charlie Sheen has claimed he has a Jewish mother, while disgraced fashion designer John Galliano is said to be obsessed with his “Jewish” roots.
Mr Sheen, who last week was accused of “borderline antisemitism” by the Anti-Defamation League following comments about his Jewish manager, said he was proud of his Jewish background.
He told Access Hollywood Live: "My mum is Jewish. Here’s where it gets confusing – we don’t know who her father was. But she is, in fact, Jewish. So, I guess that would make me Jewish, and my children Jewish.”
Adding that his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, who last week accused Mr Sheen of sending her an anti-Jewish text, was Jewish, he said: “I guess I should’ve rolled all that out too."
