He has also grown a beard so major that it would make William Fitzsimmons' hair follicles jealous.

Former highest-paid child actor and half man of Two and a Half Men, Angus T. Jones, isn't looking back too fondly on his acting days. According to Deadline he spoke with KHOU, a Houston TV station, and told them he was a “paid hypocrite” during his time Two and a Half Men because he "wasn't OK" taking part in "something that was making light of topics in our world where there are really problems for a lot of people.”

Worth noting: Before Jones left Two and a Half Men, he was being paid $350,000 to be a hypocrite.

Jones was Houston to speak at the World Harvest Outreach, a Seventh-Day Adventist congregation. Aside from speaking engagements at a church, Jones is also spending his time attending the University of Colorado in Boulder these days. Nearly two years ago, Jones publicly slammed the series that made him famous, begging people to stop watching it so that it would be canceled. Specifically, he said: "You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that."

So, y'know, returning to Two and a Half Men is probably never going to happen. That doesn't mean his acting career is finished, though: Jones commented he has has some interest in "Bible-based stories."

Also worth noting: Look at that beard.
