Two and a Half Men: Why did "Jake Harper" leave?
But, as he aged, "Jake" was eventually given more adult storylines on Two and a Half Men, which conflicted with the values held by actor Angus T. Jones.
Specifically, in season 9, "Jake" was portrayed as sexually active and a drug user. After that season, Jones made headlines by denouncing the show and calling it "filth" after a religious awakening.
"Jake," the son of "Alan Harper" (Jon Cryer), was then absent for the final few episodes of season 10 and did not appear again until the series finale in season 12. On the show, the absence of "Jake" was addressed by having him join the army.
Where is Angus T. Jones today?
Since his time as "Jake Harper," Angus T. Jones appears to have retired from acting, save for a single appearance on Horace and Pete in 2016.
Photos of Jones have shown him with long hair and a beard, after he reportedly wanted to distance himself from his appearance on Two and a Half Men. Fans were surprised to see Jones with this look in his return for the show's series finale in 2015, too.
Elsewhere, in 2016, Jones was attached to a media production company called Tonite, which was created by Justin Combs, son of rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.
In recent years, reports have said that the one-time highest-paid child actor has been studying religion at Colorado University. A Daily Mail photograph also placed him in Los Angeles, California, as recently as 2021.
