Charlie Sheen has been handed a lifeline by pal Sylvester Stallone as he battles legal woes and his divorce - the chance to revive his movie career.
Stallone reportedly wants Sheen to play a C.I.A. agent chasing Bruce Willis' slippery crime lord character in The Expendables sequel.
And it could be just the role the actor needs to turn his fortunes around - after fighting with his wife Brooke Mueller on Christmas Day, 2009, Sheen has endured a rough 2010, which culminated with an alleged hotel meltdown in New York last month (Oct10) when the star trashed his suite.
Stallone met with Sheen over the weekend (30Oct10) and reported his old friend is "looking good"
The Expendables, which was directed and also starred Stallone, was released this summer and topped the box office in America.
The film went on to gross in excess of $250 million and Stallone has been talking about a sequel ever since the release of the movie.
