Charlie Sheen thinks the Loch Ness Monster is afraid of him.

The 'Anger Management' star, who flew to Scotland this week in a bid to hunt down the elusive creature in the country's famous lake Loch Ness, believes the monster was hiding from him because it was ashamed it would be no match for him.

The 47-year-old actor told gossip website TMZ.com: ''Clearly the monster labelled 'Nessie' stayed both hidden and ashamed as it knew deep in her own ancient heart to be NO match both in mythology or reality, to a Beast known throughout the Highlands, the Lowlands, and the Badlands, by one bone-chilling word: MaSheen.''

Charlie made a last-minute decision to jump on a private jet and fly to Scotland with his friends Todd Zeile and Brian Peck.

The trio stayed at the historic Aldourie Castle, on the shores of the loch, during the short trip, and the castle's general manager, Lavinia Turner, is expecting the trio to return to the area and hunt for Nessie again.

She previously said: ''All I can say is that Mr. Sheen and his party were perfect guests and thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Scotland and Loch Ness.

''They had a wonderful and relaxing time but unfortunately didn't see any sign of Nessie although I'm sure they'll be back in the future to try again.''

Last week, Charlie treated his Twitter fans to a picture of him wearing a bronze battle helmet as he hinted at a plan to search for the mythical beast.
