Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer has addressed the unlikely possibility of a reboot.

During a recent appearance on The View, Cryer was asked if he would be up for returning to the show, now that Sheen and producer Chuck Lorre have rekindled their friendship.

"So you kinda have to think, I love him, I wish him the best and that he should live in good health the rest of his life, but I don't know if I want to get in business with him for any length of time. If there was a one-off or..."
