Remember the cute chubby kid from 'Two and a Half Men?'

Well, he has resurfaced and discussed what he is up to in the current issue of People.

If you remember the controversy from 2012, you will remember that Jones, 23, made several YouTube videos talking about how his newfound faith conflicted with the storylines he was getting on 'Two and a Half Men.' Jones was making $300,000 an episode, and had been on the show for nearly a decade. Once he reached adult age, he joined the Seventh-Day Adventist faith. In fact, in 2012, he sat down with a filmmaker who followed the same faith and gave an interview:
"I’m on Two and a Half Men, and I don’t want to be. You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that."
Jones later apologized for his comments and continued to appear on the show as a guest star through the end of the series.

In his real life, Jones decided to enroll at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is currently on a break, but is planning on going back to school. Jones loved being at college because he was able to have a "normal existence."
Along with education pursuits, he currently serves as the President of entertainment at an events company called Tonite. The company was actually co-founded by Sean "Diddy" Combs' son Justin.

Jones had this to say about his current life:
"I got pretty doomsday with my thinking for a long time, but now I’m having fun and enjoying where I’m at. I no longer feel like every step I take is on a land mine."
My Two Cents

When Angus T. Jones bashed his show 4+ years ago, I was pissed. It reminded me of when Kirk Cameron found God and bashed his show and co-stars for being immoral. If it weren't for 'Two and a Half Men,' no one would know who Angus T. Jones is. The show made him a lot of money. Why talk sh*t about your employer? There are so many people out there that would give their right arm to make all that money. One thing I know about faith is that you need to be humble. You need to be grateful that your higher being blessed you with opportunities.
It sounds like Jones is slowly learning that lesson. The storylines may have conflicted with what he believes in, but he wasn't performing those acts...his character was. It's called acting. Candace Cameron Bure is a devout Christian and she is married. Yet, she still engages in kissing scenes in Hallmark movies and on 'Fuller House.' Why? Because she is acting. She isn't really kissing those men...her characters are.

Anyways, I hope Angus T. Jones is able to humble himself to appreciate what his higher power has blessed him with. I wish him the best of luck in his endeavors.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not.
