If you asked us to guess which famous actor is Emilio Estevez' brother, we would instantly think it's Michael J. Fox. However, you can't fully convince us they are not related. The identity of his actual brother is going to shock you, and then the other details of his life will shock you even more.
Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez are brothers.
Emilio Estevez was born on May 12, 1962, to Martin Sheen and Janet Sheen. Charlie Sheen was born on September 3, 1965, three years after Emilio Estevez. They have two more siblings, making him the second oldest child in the family. Renee Estevez was born on April 2, 1967. They have the same mother and father.
If Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen are full siblings, why do they have different last names?
Here's where things get a little complicated and difficult to follow. They are not half-brothers, as many people assume. They have the same mother and father. Martin Sheen married Janet Templeton in 1961, and they have been married for 62 years as of 2023 (and I'm convinced Michael J. Fox somewhere...).
@charliesheen's credit:
Martin Sheen was not born Martin Sheen. He was born in 1940 in Dayton, Ohio. He wanted to be an actor, but he found that giving his full name was a barrier to getting a job or an apartment. “I never changed it officially. I will never change it again,” said the author.
Does this mean Charlie Sheen has renamed himself?
Charlie Sheen is, by birth, Carlos Irwin Estevez. He is the only child in the family who chooses to adopt his father's fake last name for his own purposes in order to de-escalate familial misunderstanding. He was never Charlie, although he decided to follow his father's and older brother's footsteps.

What Is the Relationship Between the Brothers?
Both Emilio and Charlie have a long career. They were two of the greatest actors in the 1980s and 1990s, and their names are immediately recognisable. Charlie Sheen has had a difficult time dealing with his personal issues in the last few decades. "It really gives credence to the theory that substance abuse may be passed down through generations or siblings," he said in an interview.
Estevez believes that his own past does not fit with his brother. He was a party boy through and through, but he has since recovered and is enjoying his brother's company. He hopes to be a good role model, but he does not want to be a role model for Charlie Sheen. "As a kid, I was smart enough to be discrete about my misbehavior, or at least stealthy." says his older brother.
