Former child star Angus T. Jones, known for his role on the sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” has been spotted sporting a more mature look with a manicured beard and casual clothes. Jones, who made $300,000 per episode by the age of 17, left Hollywood after becoming dissatisfied with his role and speaking out against the show’s content in a viral video in 2012. He implored viewers to do research on the effects of television on the brain and stated that one cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a show like “Two and a Half Men.” Jones has kept a relatively low profile since leaving Hollywood.
Former child star Angus T. Jones has resurfaced in the public eye after almost a year of keeping a low profile. The actor, best known for his role as Jake Harper on the popular sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” was spotted twice recently with a more mature look than fans may remember.
The 29-year-old Jones was seen sporting a manicured beard, a backwards baseball cap, and casual clothes. He had previously been spotted a month earlier walking barefoot outside his Los Angeles home with a scruffier beard.
Jones began his run on “Two and a Half Men” at the age of 9, quickly becoming one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. By the time he was 17, he was earning $300,000 per episode. However, as his character began to evolve into more adult humor, Jones began to take issue with his role.
In a viral video from 2012, Jones implored viewers to stop watching the show and “stop filling your head with filth.” Speaking to Seventh-Day Adventist filmmaker Christopher Hudson, the actor urged people to do research on the effects of television on the brain and claimed that being on the show was incompatible with being a “true God-fearing person.”
While Jones’ comments caused controversy at the time, he later walked back his statements in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. Jones expressed gratitude for the opportunities he had been given and acknowledged that he had “been the beneficiary of extraordinary generosity” during his time on the show.
Since leaving Hollywood, Jones has kept a relatively low profile, focusing on his faith and his studies. He has expressed interest in pursuing a career in music and has released a few singles on SoundCloud.
Despite his controversial comments, Jones remains a beloved figure for many fans of “Two and a Half Men.” The show ran for 12 seasons and remains one of the most popular sitcoms of all time.
