Unrecognizable ex-child star Angus T. Jones debuts buzzcut in rare sighting
He’s not “half” a man anymore.
Former child star Angus T. Jones looked nearly unrecognizable while grabbing lunch in Sherman Oaks, Calif., Tuesday.
The “Two and a Half Men” star, who was once the highest paid child actor, debuted a new buzzcut during a rare public outing.
Photos obtained exclusively by Page Six show Jones, 29, sporting a gray hoodie and black shorts while carrying a large water bottle and texting on his flip phone.
He completed the casual ensemble with black sneakers, a gray beanie and blue-tinted sunglasses.
When Jones got into his car, he took his hat off to reveal his newly shaved head.
The actor — who became a household name following his turn as Jake Harper in “Two and a Half Men” — donned a fully grown beard and mustache.
Jones starred alongside Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer on the early 2000s sitcom for nearly 10 years, before making a fiery exit in 2012.
The “Rookie” star was earning around $350,000 per episode when he quit, and has since retreated from the spotlight.
“If you watch ‘Two and a Half Men,’ please stop watching ‘Two and a Half Men,’” the actor said in a YouTube video posted by the Forerunner Chronicles, a Christian group, when he exited the series.

In his 10-minute testimonial, Jones said that he had found God and called the sitcom “filth.”
“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,” he went on.
“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.”
It seems Jones didn’t regret his decision as he doubled down on the move in 2014.
“[The show] was making light of topics in our world that are really problems for a lot of people,” he said at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church World Harvest Outreach. “And I was a paid hypocrite because I wasn’t OK with it but I was still doing it.”
He wasn’t the only main cast member to leave the show before it ended in 2015.
Sheen was fired by Warner Brothers in 2011 due to “dangerously self-destructive conduct” and “erratic behavior,” in addition to making derogatory comments about the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre.
He was replaced by Ashton Kutcher for the final four seasons.
