Charlie Sheen denies baby son is ill, just a little underweight still

Charlie Sheen has dismissed reports that one of his newborn sons has a heart problem.

Max and Bob Sheen were born prematurely last month but while Bob has been allowed home in his mum Brooke Mueller and dad Charlie, Max is still in a Los Angeles-area hospital.

But a spokesperson for Charlie has dismissed suggestions the little boy has a heart condition: “[Max] has not gained the weight necessary to leave the hospital.

“Max is expected to reach the weight requirement shortly and will join his brother at home… Both Bob and Max are fine.”

Charlie himself added to showbiz news show Extra: “The weight issue is very common among infants who were born before reaching full term.

“I know a lot of people are not fond of hospital food; I just didn’t realise that they started so young.”

The boys arrived two weeks ahead of schedule when they were born late on the 14th March.
