Charlie Sheen was right about Two and a Half Men‘ star Jon Cryer: He really is a troll.

Cryer appeared on Conan Thursday night for a rebuttal against Sheen’s “troll” charges against him but instead delivered a heartfelt “confession”: “I really am a troll!”

Cryer admitted: “Those words were really painful to me, for many reasons. Not the least of which is…um…I’m sorry, this is really hard for me. I can’t even believe I’m saying this. The fact is, I AM a troll.”

He said in jest: “It’s not something I like to talk about. My parents don’t even know.” He continued, “I guess I should be thankful to be outed like this. I’m finally free. And for all you other trolls still living under the bridge, I’m here to tell you it gets better.”
