For nine years, Angus T. Jones (27) was almost better known as Jake Harper to most people. The latter character he played in «Two and a Half Men» from 2003 to 2012, and was long considered one of the richest teenagers, with a staggering 1.7 million kroner in income per episode.
Disappeared. Now he shows up
It therefore came as a shock to several when he chose to give in to the series, and not least apparently withdraw completely from the spotlight and Hollywood.
Jones has previously explained that one of the reasons for the career break was that he “was not faithful to God and his religion” when he was in the series.

New pictures attract attention
The child star has, to put it mildly, kept a low profile in recent years, but now new paparazzi pictures of him have appeared in the foreign press, which is also winning on social media. The Sun is among the media that have the pictures.
Because while most people remember him as the young boy Jake Harper, the 27-year-old is almost unrecognizable today. When he starred in the TV series, there was little facial hair on the actor. Today, however, he has a long beard and longer length of hair than before.
