Charlie Sheen sets Twitter Guinness Record

Actor Charlie Sheen may or may not be "winning," in life, but he has won a rare honor: the "Fastest Time to Reach 1 Million Followers" Guinness World Record.

Guinness community manager Dan Barrett says the agency "just researched and approved" the record. According to Barrett, Sheen reached that milestone in 25 hours 17 minutes. As of this writing, Sheen's Twitter account, @CharlieSheen, has close to 1.2 million followers. Guinness did not have had a previous record for that category, Barrett says. Sheen also set a Guinness record for "Highest Paid TV Actor Per Episode - Current" at $1.25 million.

Sheen joined Twitter on March 1. In a matter of minutes, Sheen acquired more than 60,000 followers and a Klout score of 57 - without even tweeting, Mashable reports.
