Charlie Sheen pays a two-finger tribute to Hugh Hefner

In an intimate at-home interview with ABC's Andrea Canning the troubled actor, 45, snuggles up with his two young girlfriends - Natalie Kenly, a former nanny and model and Rachel Oberlin, a porn star.

Canning said: 'You're like the new Hugh Hefner here with your two...' comparing Sheen to the Playboy Mansion owner, 84.

Sheen interrupted with: 'He's an amateur he started when he was like 90. He's a trailblazer and a pioneer I'm honoured to be mentioned in the same sentence as him,' he continued as he looked to the camera and made a hand gesture with two extended fingers.

'I'm just not wearing those robes, sorry,' he added looking at Natalie and Rachel who burst into fits of giggles.

He later posed with Natalie and Rachel and his twin sons Bob and Max in his Beverly Hills mansion.

Yesterday Sheen's publicist of seven years, Stan Rosenfield, quit. 'I worked with Charlie Sheen for a long time and I care about him very much, however, at this time, I'm unable to work effectively as his publicist and have respectfully resigned,' Rosenfield said in a statement.
