Tiger blood must be pretty strong. Actor Charlie Sheen might not have a hit TV show anymore, but he now has the honor of being a Guinness World Record holder.
Shockingly, it has nothing to do with drug-fueled parties and everything to do with social media. Sheen has now achieved the fastest time to reach 1 million followers on Twitter. It took him 25 hours and 17 minutes between March 1 and 2, Guinness confirmed Thursday.
"In all sincerity... Thank you Twitter community for the warm reception & the followers that helped get me to 1M in 24 hours!!! #teamsheen," Sheen tweeted earlier today.
The record comes two weeks after rapper Lil Wayne set a Guinness World Recod for the "Most Likes" on a single Facebook page in 24 hours with 588,243.
"Guinness World Records is excited to continue expanding the number of social media records it holds and looks forward to new records emerging from the rapidly evolving world of social media," the organization said in a statement.
Sheen joined Twitter earlier this week amidst a blitz of media interviews surrounding the cancellation of his hit show, "Two and a Half Men." Those interviews are either insane or hilarious, depending on how you look at it, but they have spawned various catchphrases on which Sheen has capitalized via his Twitter account.
The most popular? Tiger blood and winning.
In an interview with NBC earlier this week, Sheen said that Alcoholics Anonymous is intended for "people that aren't special. People that don't have tiger blood, you know, Adonis DNA." He later used the #TigerBlood hashtag on Twitter, propelling it to the top of Twitter's trending topics in the United States and worldwide.
Being a winner was also a major topics of discussion in the various interviews Sheen has given this week. When asked if he was bi-polar, Sheen denied it, saying instead that he was "bi-winning." Sheen's bio on Twitter says that he is an "unemployed winner."
In his most recent tweet, Sheen says, "Face it folks, you just feel better when you say it. #WINNING"
Sheen's antics have naturally spawned some amusing Internet memes - from a WordPress blog that put Sheen's quotes on pictures of cats, and a "Who said it? Sheen or Gadhafi?" slideshow to Charlie Sheen quotes set to New Yorker cartoons.
Another celebrity who made headlines for reaching 1 million followers back in 2009 was actor Ashton Kutcher. But Kutcher might want to keep a closer eye on his account; it was hacked while he attended the annual TED conference.
