It's been pretty evident that Charlie Sheen has significantly toned down the crazy lately, with the tiger blood talk and goddesses becoming memories fading into time. But now that he's becoming normal (you know what we mean), we're a little worried.

What happened?

Well, Jay Leno made sure to get to the bottom of this on The Tonight Show when Sheen was a guest, and his explanation was something Leno could definitely relate to.

"What has changed? What was the catalyst that made you go 'woah' and hit the wall?" Leno asked.

"I realized I was pretty much LOSING," Sheen responded.

The host continued to question, "Was there one defining moment? Was there one day when you woke up and go 'Oh'?"

"Um, yeah. It was the day I got fired. Yeah, the day I got fired from my big television show," Charlie said, "I thought I could come back, kinda like you did..."

Burn! But it's OK, Jay was quick with the comeback.

"Yeah, yeah at least one of us got the job back."

Aside from the jokes and shenanigans, Leno asked if Sheen had advice for his Two and a Half Men replacement, Ashton Kutcher.

"I mean, nothing I could say right here. No, I'm joking. No, no. Seriously, no. It's hard to give advice to a guy that accomplished. I would just give him a hug and just say, ‘Make me proud, dude.'"
