"Two and A Half Men" star Jon Cryer says his former co-star Charlie Sheen helped him find a prostitute to cheer him up following his 2004 divorce.

According to Us Magazine, Cryer recalls in his memoir,"So What Happened," that soon after he split from his wife of five years, Sarah Trigger, Sheen came calling.

"I was in a bad state right after my divorce, and I certainly didn't feel dateable," 49-year-old Cryer reveals in his book. "I was an emotional basket case... I decided I might as well pay someone for company and certain intimate pleasures so that I could at least get my equilibrium back with the opposite sex. Charlie suggested a few online purveyors he used, as this was when prostitution was gaining a foothold on the Internet."

From there it hardly seems like it was a case of happily ever after for Cryer.

"It was really a very friendly experience, maybe because the act of having sex is quite the conversational icebreaker," he said. "The next time, I went to her place, which probably wasn't really her place. We sat down, tried to make small talk and halfheartedly stumbled into a conversation about recent fluctuations in the stock market. Somehow I ended up spending 25 minutes of my hour helping her with financial planning."

Cryer insists his awkward moments with his former co-star hardly ended there. He claims Sheen once asked him to hide a giant bag of porn from then-wife Denise Richards.

"He handed me a heavy shopping bag. 'Denise is coming over,' he said, 'and I need you to hide something for me,'" Cryer wrote.

But when Sheen publicly fell off the wagon and began using drugs again, the "Pretty in Pink" star admits he found it harder to defend him. After Sheen unceremoniously left the CBS sitcom, Cryer recalls receiving mounds and mounds of negative backlash.

"An astounding number of people stood up for Charlie, as though people should be able to show up to work rarely, if at all, verbally abuse their co-workers publicly with anti-Semitic slurs, get arrested on a regular basis -- as well as abuse drugs to the point where they can barely function -- and not have their high-paying jobs threatened," he wrote. "They directed their fury at Chuck [Lorre] but also at me, with hundreds of comments about how I'd betrayed Charlie, that I was 'homely fag' and that they'd never watch a show with me as the lead. As ridiculous and horrifying as those sentiments were, it was impossible for me not to feel their effect."

In time, Sheen was replaced on the show by Ashton Kutcher, who played new leading man Walden Schmidt, and the show went on for another four seasons before the series finale this past February.

Cryer's memoir is slated to hit bookstores in early April.
