That was the talk diva’s conclusion after becoming only one of three people the actor sat with to promote his upcoming projects, including Monday’s Comedy Central Roast.

“Charlie gave it up,” she says. “We had a really easy conversation. I remember seeing Charlie for the first time in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. He wasn’t even one of the main characters. But, Charlie and I have grown up in the same era.”
And apparently, Williams made a fan of Sheen as well. “I’ll be honest with you,” she tells us. “He leaned in and he said to me, ‘You’re so real. I like you a lot.’ He said he has seen my show before, but now he’s going to make it a point of watching.”

Williams gave THR an exclusive preview of her interview with Sheen, which airs Monday.

On Ashton Kutcher: “He was a gentleman. He wished Ashton well.”
On his former Two and Half Men boss: “He hasn’t talked to Chuck Lorre in a while and you’ll get his exact quote when he answers on the couch.”
On his children’s mothers: “He doesn’t live with the girls anymore. It’s all about him and Brooke [Mueller] and his children. And Denise [Richards],he was very kind to both of his children’s mothers.”
