Two and a Half Men star Angus T. Jones, now 30, was spotted in Los Angeles on Thursday looking like a whole new man while running errands.
Page Six spotted the former child star sported a bushy beard, baseball cap, and sunglasses during his outing. He complemented his casual look with a black T-shirt and light blue jeans.
Jones is renowned for his portrayal of Jake, the son of Jon Cryer’s character, single dad Alan Harper, on Two and a Half Men. He shared the screen with Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer for nearly a decade before departing the series in 2012.
At the height of Two and a Half Men‘s popularity, Angus T. Jones earned a jaw-dropping $350,000 an episode, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.
Jones also popped in high-profile films like 2001’s The Rookie with Dennis Quaid and 2002’s See Spot Run alongside David Arquette.
After ‘Two and a Half Men’ Wrapped Angus T. Jones Largely Left Acting Behind
However, the actor has largely turned his back on Hollywood.
“If you watch ‘Two and a Half Men,’ please stop watching ‘Two and a Half Men,’” Young said in a video posted by the Forerunner Chronicles, a Christian group, 11 years ago.
In his 10-minute testimonial, Jones revealed that he found God and condemned the show as “filth.” Since his dramatic exit, he has not made a significant return to acting.
“People say it’s just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch,” Jones added.
“I’m on ‘Two and a Half Men’ and I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it and filling your head with filth. People say it’s just entertainment.”
Before Jones’ departure, Sheen was dismissed from the series in 2011 for alleged erratic behavior. He also made derogatory remarks about the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre. Ashton Kutcher replaced Sheen for the final four seasons. The series concluded in 2015.
Since the end of Two and a Half Men, he has largely distanced himself from Hollywood. According to his IMDB page, his most recent role was last year, when he reunited with his former costar Charlie Sheen for a cameo in the MAX show Bookies, created by Chuck Lorre.
