Jake from ‘Two & a Half Men’ Gained Weight & Looks ‘Unrecognizable’ after He Called Himself ‘Hypocrite’ & Left the Show

Angus T. Jones, who played a boy named Jake Harper in the series “Two & a Half Men,” gained weight and looked “unrecognizable” during a public appearance.

The child star opened up about why he abruptly left the show after almost ten years and urged not to watch it.

Angus also got candid about his life after “Two & a Half Men” and revealed why he named himself a “hypocrite.”

He became a household name after starring alongside Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer in “Two and A Half Men,” but Angus T. Jones has since been relatively quiet regarding a Hollywood career.

In May 2023, he stepped out looking almost unrecognizable. Gone are the chubby cheeks and sweet features from his first days on the hit television series. Jones is all grown up and looking different!

In 2012, Jones announced that he would leave the show and said he had found God. He has been seen out and about in Los Angeles for the first time in a year. The former actor wore a casual look and attracted attention.

Jones, now 29, was seen walking around Los Angeles in a loose-fitting gray shirt and dark gray shorts with spectacles and a backward red cap. He also has a full beard and mustache, a stark departure from his baby-faced character on “Two and A Half Men.”

This outing comes just weeks after Jones was seen walking around his neighborhood without shoes. On that occasion, he was also dressed casually in a black t-shirt and shorts, which he paired with a gray beanie.

When fans saw Jones on both occasions, they had strong opinions about the former child star’s appearance. One said the weight Jones had gained since leaving the show is concerning because he was healthier when he left. The fan hoped there was nothing wrong with Jones.

Another fan said it was crazy that a child star looked completely different after eleven years, and another asked if others would have liked Jones to stay eleven forever. The fan then told readers that everyone had grown up and that everyone should leave Jones alone.

Some fans said they could not imagine working at such a young age and that everyone should leave him alone because he was allowed to do anything he wanted to and could change his appearance if he wanted to.

Another joked that he was heavier now than the onscreen housekeeper, Berta and others agreed with the fan. One more fan simply commented:

“He messed up.”

Before this appearance, Jones had remained out of the public eye for almost eleven years. This is how he now lives most of his life because he decided, after being a child star, that his Hollywood career was no longer serving him.
