The controversial GOP candidate hopeful for the U.S. elections 2016, Donald Trump, may soon find a vice president in the person of Charlie Sheen - that is if the ongoing joke between Charlie Sheen and Owen Wilson is anything to go by.
But the more interesting side to the story is that Sheen is actually up for it.
In a tweet posted on Aug. 28, which was first reported by ET, Sheen said if Trump will have him as his vice president, he will gladly say yes in a heartbeat.
ET said that this recent post is contrary to a previous post where Sheen had lambasted Trump, saying that the White House hopeful is "a sad and silly homunculus.
"Your words as poignant as a sack of cat farts, You're a shame pile of idiocy," Sheen's rest of the tweet read at the time.

The whole hullabaloo about Sheen running as Trump's vice president was sparked by a comment from Owen Wilson during an interview with The Daily Beast.
In the conversation, Wilson said that while he does not know the last instance he watched the GOP debates, he is suddenly keeping himself updated because of Trump.
"It's usually almost like a football game-when it gets down to the final two, now we're going to watch the Democrat versus the Republican. But to watch this early on, when they've got 15 people on the stage, it would never have happened unless Trump was there," Wilson told The Daily Beast.
Wilson further explained that Trump's is making headlines, to the advantage of his campaign, because of him being spontaneous, something akin to Sheen.
"You can't help but get a kick out of him, and I think part of it is we're so used to politicians on both sides sounding like actors at press junkets-it's sort of by rote, and they say all the right things," Wilson said with a laugh.
"So here's somebody who's not following that script. It's like when Charlie Sheen was doing that stuff-like, wow! He's answering a question completely honestly, and in an entertaining way. You sort of feel he could be a character from Network," Wilson said.
A CNN poll conducted on Aug. 20-23 revealed that most of the Republican voters in the South Carolina are supporting Trump.
To be specific, three in 10 Republicans said that they have Trump's back on this. Patrick Murray, from Monmouth University Polling Institute, had even told CNN that they have "become accustomed to Trump leading in every poll.
Trump also toppled other Republican candidates in a previous CNN poll conducted in July.
