CHARLIE Sheen’s father is planning to stage an intervention to get him into rehab.

Veteran actor Martin Sheen is keen to get his son — who was last week caught in a destroyed hotel room at the New York Plaza with a prostitute after an alcohol and cocaine-fueled party — away from the “hangers on” who surround him in order for him to start dealing with his problems.

“You have to separate him from that environment, from the people that he’s around,” Martin, a former alcoholic himself, told the New York Post newspaper.

Martin is reportedly thinking of trying to convince the actor to go to Ireland, where he studied for an adult university degree course four years ago — and Charlie’s cousin, Teresa Phelan, has said he would be welcome to stay with her in the village of Kilbarron.

“It’s a much quieter life down here and he could walk around without being bothered by anybody,” Teresa said. “He needs to look after his health and avoid the limelight. Living here for a while would be a good thing for him to do.”

Martin last staged an intervention in 1990, getting his son to rehab to deal with his drug and alcohol dependence.

Meanwhile, a friend of Charlie, who claims to have known the Two And A Half Men star — the highest paid actor on US TV — for 20 years, said he thinks the actor is in serious trouble.

“Charlie Sheen is going to die this week,”a source told RadarOnline.

This comes as the website reports another friend claiming that since hotel security were called to his New York suite last week — where he had become enraged after he couldn’t find his $170,000 Patek Philippe 5970 watch or his wallet to pay porn star Christina Walsh her escort fee — he has returned to Los Angeles and is “out of control”.

“It’s been a non-stop party of drugs and hookers since Charlie got home. His handlers have no idea how to get him to stop. He is completely out of control. No one can get through to him,” the source said.
