"Unemployment beard? Angus T. Jones was nearly unrecognizable during a recent outing in L.A. The 19-year-old actor was photographed looking drastically different from his former Two and a Half Men character by sporting a long, scruffy beard.\r\nTo further mask his identity, Jones looked remarkably skinnier than he has in the past. The CBS star showed off his thinner bod in a loose-fitting red T-shirt and baggy gray shorts.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;He seems to be a shadow of himself and desperate to get away from the looks that made him a global star and very wealthy,&amp;quot; a friend of Jones told the New York Daily News. &amp;quot;We are concerned about his health, too. Angus has lost a lot of weight over the summer and looks very skinny compared to how he looked on the show.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;He seems to be suffering some kind of breakdown,&amp;quot; another friend said. &amp;quot;He appears in denial about the whole saga. And he just doesn&amp;#x2019;t want to look like Jake anymore.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nTwo and a Half Men will be introducing a female character in the CBS comedy&amp;apos;s 11 season, that will reportedly replace Jones&amp;apos; character, Jake Harper. Amber Tamblyn has been cast as Jenny Harper, the illegitimate lesbian daughter of the late Charlie Harper, formerly played by Charlie Sheen.\r\nJones&amp;apos; departure from the show, which he first appeared on in 2003, should come as no surprise. During a November 2012 interview with the Christian group Forerunner Chronicles, the actor called Two and  a Half Men &amp;quot;filth.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I know I can&amp;apos;t. I&amp;apos;m not OK with what I&amp;apos;m learning, what the Bible says and being on that television show.&amp;quot; Following his strong remarks, Jones issued a public apology and thanked the cast and crew for &amp;quot;their support, guidance and love over the years.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nIn his final season on the show, a source told Us Weekly that Jones was earning about $350,000 per episode. But the insider told Us that the actor wanted to focus on a music career instead."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
