Angus T. Jones is back in the spotlight—not that he's easy recognizable.
The actor, who played Jake Harper for 10 years on CBS' Two and a Half Men, bore little resemblance to his former self when he talked to Houston TV station KHOU over the weekend. Sporting shaggy hair and a bushy beard, the 20-year-old college student once again publicly dissed his former employer.
Jones earned a reported $350,000 per episode during his final season as a full-time cast member. While it made him the richest teen on TV, he couldn't shake the fact that Two and a Half Men was out of alignment with his values. "It was making light of topics in our world that are really problems for a lot of people, and I was a paid hypocrite because I wasn't okay with it, but I was still doing it," he said.
In November 2012, Jones appeared in a YouTube video posted by Alabama-based church Forerunner Chronicles, where he asked viewers boycott the show and to "stop filling your head with filth." Jones told them, "You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't. I'm not okay with what I'm learning, what the Bible says, and being on that television show."
Jones later said he was sorry for bashing creator Chuck Lorre's Emmy-winning comedy. "I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed," he said in 2012. On Sunday, however, he backtracked a bit. "That's his, like, baby, and I just totally insulted his baby and to that degree I am apologetic," Jones said of Lorre, "but otherwise I don't regret saying what I said."
