ANGUS T. Jones has looked unrecognizable from his sitcom days.
The Two and a Half Men star donned a long beard for the rare images taken seven years after he quit Hollywood.
Angus, now 28, looked barely recognizable as he emerged from what appeared to be parking lot steps on July 7, 2022.
It’s the first time in nearly a year he’s seen spotted in public, and even longer since he left show business behind.
The former child star struck fame playing Jake Harper on his CBS sitcom alongside Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer.
Angus had starred in the show since its 2003 debut – but quit the show in 2012 turning to religion.

He has one acting credit to his name since 2012.
It was a bit part in controversial comedian Louis CK’s 2016 TV miniseries Horace and Pete, which only streams via purchase on the comic’s website.
Angus sported matching black capri-length sweatpants, sneakers, aviator-style glasses, and a stern expression.
His last publicly spotted outing was in late August 2021.
Angus wore a similar beanie and his bourgeoning beard reached the bottom of his neck – he walked an LA street without shoes.
SITCOM STAR
The former child star was about 10 years old when he struck fame in the role of Jake Harper on the CBS show.
Jake (Angus) lived with his hard-drinking uncle Charlie Harper (Sheen) and his disillusioned father, Alan Harper (Cryer) after his parents divorced.
Created by Chuck Lorre – who also co-created The Big Bang Theory – the sitcom ran for about twelve seasons and originally starred Charlie, Jon, and Angus.
The former adorably chubby-cheeked child star with whispy brunette hair became a household name because of his role.
Charlie was replaced by Ashton Kutcher during the ninth season after he had gone into drug rehab.
One season later, in 2012, Angus quit after joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church which he said was “tailor-made” for him.
FINDING RELIGION
Angus spoke the Forerunner Chronicles, another Christian group, while sitting down and then driving a car in a YouTube clip with 2M views.
He said that people should “stop watching” his show because it was “filling your head with filth,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
He also claimed in the video, “You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can’t.
“I’m not OK with what I’m learning, what the Bible says and being on that television show.”
The then-19-year-old released a public apology afterward, per Deadline saying he was “blessed” to have worked on it.
Two years later, however, Angus seemed to hold steady his newfound views.
“It was making light of topics in our world that are really problems for a lot of people,” Jones said to People about the sitcom.
“I was a paid hypocrite because I wasn’t okay with it, but I was still doing it.”
“I am apologetic, but otherwise, I don’t regret saying what I said.”
On-screen, Jake Harper went away to Japan, leaving behind his lovable fractured family.
The show even replaced him in Season 11 with Amber Tamblyn, who appeared as Charlie’s previously unknown daughter.
