Rosamund Pike - Pike Bemoans Double Standards In Hollywood

The Two and A Half Men star has been involved in a number of headline-grabbing incidents over the last 12 months, including a Christmas (09) fight with his estranged wife which left him facing criminal charges, and an incident at a hotel in New York where he is said to have trashed his suite during a night of passion with an adult actress.

Former Bond girl Pike is adamant Sheen's antics have done little to damage his career, but she's convinced female stars are severely punished in Hollywood for any personal indiscretions.

She tells Britain's Daily Express, "Charlie Sheen gets to have his moment in a hotel room with hookers and becomes cool, getting kudos from it.

"If that was a girl she'd be considered a dirty little slapper (promiscuous woman) and pounded out of town. Girls have to be so nice. A girl can't even say something vaguely confrontational in an interview, it's all about sweetness. It makes everything so insipid."
