Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has starred in a series of videos for Hostelworld, aiming to change public opinion of the hostel experience and show hostels in a positive light.

The former Two and a Half Men star commented 'Reputations all start somewhere – but that doesn't mean you can't change! It's true that I've had some wild days, just like hostels used to be dark and dingy. But like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, I'm a reformed character and I've experienced first-hand that hostels are clean, stylish and most importantly really fun! They are perfect for anyone like me who wants a sociable travel experience, just leave your preconceptions at the door'.
