One of Hollywood's highest paid child actors, Angus T. Jones has spent the last seven years winning the hearts of viewers across the world with his portrayal of the lazy, often dimwitted but lovable Jake Harper on the hit sitcom, Two and a Half Men. Amongst his massive $300 000-per-episode salary with the show, 17-year-old Jones has also scored himself a number of film and television roles over his relatively short career, making him one of the most recognisable young faces in Hollywood today.
But are we about to bear witness to yet another tragically familiar story of a child actor gone astray? Sources close to the young star are claiming that the 17-year-old's massive salary and recent rise to fame is beginning to go to his head, and despite being well underage has reportedly been blowing large amounts of his income on his recent party life-style. If this continues Jones seems likely to end up following in the footsteps of some former child-actors such as Lindsay Lohan and Drew Barrymore, who have gone down the dark path of excessive partying, drinking, and drug-taking.
Friends of Jones have also admitted that they believe the young actor's behaviour has become "out of control", and his family is concerned about his health and safety. Reports that Jones' family have urged him to take a break from the hit sitcom, and from acting in general, to get his life back in control have surfaced but it is unclear at the moment whether any official statements will be made.
