==Personal life==

===Family===
Sheen married [[Janet Sheen|Janet Templeton]] on December 23, 1961, and they have three sons and a daughter, all of whom are actors: [[Emilio Estevez|Emilio]], [[Ramon Estevez|Ramón]], [[Charlie Sheen|Carlos]], and [[Renée Estevez|Renée]]. Carlos, however, decided to change his name when he began acting, calling himself Charlie Sheen<ref name="actors"/> after making the decision to anglicize his first name and take his surname from his father's stage name, although he was already known only as Charlie throughout his elementary school years.

Charlie and his father parodied their roles in the 1993 movie ''[[Hot Shots! Part Deux]]''; when their river patrol boats pass, each shouts, "I loved you in ''[[Wall Street (1987 film)|Wall Street]]''!" a film they starred in as father and son in 1987.

He has played the father of sons Emilio and Charlie in various projects: he played Emilio's father in ''[[The War at Home (1996 film)|The War at Home]]'', ''[[In the Custody of Strangers]]'' and ''[[The Way (2010 film)|The Way]]'', and Charlie's father in ''[[Wall Street (1987 film)|Wall Street]]'', ''[[No Code of Conduct]]'', two episodes of ''[[Spin City]],'' and ''[[Anger Management (TV series)|Anger Management]].'' He also appeared as a guest star in one episode of ''[[Two and a Half Men]]'' playing the father of Charlie's neighbor Rose ([[Melanie Lynskey]]), and another as a guest star [[Denise Richards]]'s father; at the time that episode aired, Richards was married to Charlie. Martin also played a "future" version of Charlie in a Visa commercial. Martin has played other characters with his children. He starred in the film ''[[Bobby (2006 film)|Bobby]]'', which was directed by Emilio, who also starred in the movie alongside his father. Renée had a supporting role in ''[[The West Wing]]'', as a [[White House]] staff secretary. Emilio also appeared, uncredited, in [[Twenty Five (The West Wing)|an episode]] of ''The West Wing'' portraying his father's character, President Bartlet, in-home movie footage.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dailyedge.ie/west-wing-cameos-766056-Jan2013/#slide-slideshow9 |title=5 Stars you didn't know were in The West Wing |date=January 23, 2013 |website=[[The Daily Edge]] |access-date=February 3, 2016}}</ref>

In 2012, Sheen was a guest on the U.S. version of ''[[Who Do You Think You Are? (U.S. TV series)|Who Do You Think You Are?]]'', tracing his Irish and Galician ancestry.

He underwent a quadruple heart bypass operation in December 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/martin-sheen-recovering-heart-surgery/story?id=35839222 |title=Martin Sheen Recovering From Heart Surgery |first=Shane |last=Lou |date=December 18, 2015 |website=ABC News |access-date=February 14, 2018}}</ref>

===Academic pursuits===
After the end of filming of ''The West Wing,'' Sheen planned to further his education: "My plan is to read [[English literature]], [[philosophy]] and [[theology]] in [[Galway]], Ireland, where my late mother came from and where I'm also a citizen."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=138251744&p=y38z5z45x |title=Sheen to study in Galway |date=March 30, 2005 |website=Breaking News.ie |access-date=March 30, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929122549/http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=138251744&p=y38z5z45x |archive-date=September 29, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Speaking after an honorary arts doctorate was conferred on him by the National University of Ireland, Sheen joked that he would be the "oldest undergraduate" at the [[NUI Galway|National University of Ireland (NUI), Galway]], when he started his full-time studies there in the autumn of 2006. Although expressing concern that he might be a "distraction" to other students at NUI Galway, he attended lectures like everyone else. Speaking the week after filming his last episode of ''The West Wing,'' he said, "I'm very serious about it." He once said, "I never went to college when I was young and am looking forward to giving it a try... at age 65!"<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/front/2006/0408/2314898038HM1MARTINSHEEN.html |title='President Bartlett' retiring to new role at NUIG |date=April 4, 2006 |newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023165939/http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/front/2006/0408/1142365532972.html |archive-date=October 23, 2012}}</ref> On September 1, 2006, Sheen was among the first to register as a student at NUI Galway, where he took classes in English literature, philosophy, and [[oceanography]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nuigalway.ie/news/main_press.php?p_id=345 |title=Martin Sheen among first to register as a student at NUI Galway, Ireland |date=September 1, 2006 |website=NUI Galway |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012112258/http://nuigalway.ie/news/main_press.php?p_id=345 |archive-date=October 12, 2007}}</ref>

Sheen maintains links with Galway and "heartily" supported [[Michael D. Higgins]] (himself an alumnus of NUI Galway) in the [[2011 Irish presidential election]], having become a "dear friend" of Higgins while studying there.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.galwaynews.ie/21331-president%E2%80%99-sheen-adds-lustre-michael-d-bid-%C3%A1ras |title='President' Sheen adds lustre to Michael D bid for Áras |last=Ní Fhlatharta |first=Bernie |date=September 2, 2011 |newspaper=[[Galway City Tribune]] |access-date=June 3, 2019 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120826035032/http://www.galwaynews.ie/21331-president%E2%80%99-sheen-adds-lustre-michael-d-bid-%C3%A1ras |archive-date=August 26, 2012}}</ref>
