By now, you have probably heard that, most of the time — and this includes naps — Charlie Sheen is an F-18, bro, that will destroy you in the air and deploy his ordinances to the ground. In common English, what this means is that the star of the top-rated U.S. television show has increasingly appeared unhinged of late, following up a long, decadent stint of heavy drug use and extravagant partying with a series of interviews in which his barrage of non-sequiturs and eccentric philosophizing has led many to think he has lost his mind.
So, as with some other troubled celebrities we have profiled in the past, the insurance-related question becomes: is Charlie Sheen insurable?
The antics of major Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen have resulted in the cancellation of a multimillion-dollar production and put an entire cast and crew out of work, begging the question: Can this actor still be insured?
Broker to the stars Lorrie McNaught, vice president with Aon/Albert G. Ruben, the retail entertainment division of Aon Corporation, located in Sherman Oaks, Calif., responded.
“The short answer is yes, absolutely. Everything is insurable and it usually comes down to two things: price and the experience of the broker helping to underwrite the exposure.”
All a carrier need do, then, is find a broker capable of underwriting Vatican assassin warlocks with battle-tested bayonets. Good luck with that.
