Actor Charlie Sheen says his former wife Denise Richards has definitely grounded him more. "She's definitely grounded me more, although when I met her, I was pretty straight and pretty narrow. But it... she certainly helps solidify a much greater desire for responsibility and for, you know, giving that part of me," Sheen said in a statement to IANS.

Asked if it is nice to read articles that aren't about the 'bad boy Charlie Sheen', he said: "Yeah. I just saw a mention of that last night. My wife did the cover of one of these fitness magazines, you know, and it says something -- something Denise Richards settled down with reformed bad boy Charlie Sheen, and I just thought 'When can I just be Charlie Sheen again?'"
