Spoke to soon? Perhaps Angus T. Jones had a change of heart or maybe he realized that you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you — either way, the 19-year old star has issued an apology for encouraging people to stop watching Two and a Half Men. Yes, the very show that pays him a reported $350,000 per episode.
This retraction is in response to a video that was released by a Christian group called the Forerunner Chronicles, where the teen star was caught describing the CBS hit as "filth."
"Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and a Half Men whom I have worked and over the past ten years who have become an extension of my family," Jones said in a statement Tuesday night.
The star continued by thanking show creator Chuck Lorre, exec Peter Roth, Warner Brothers and CBS for "one of the most significant experiences
"I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed," Jones concludes. "I never intended that."
Sounds like someone is trying to clean up the mess they created!
Well, if Jones really does want off the show, his former costar Charlie Sheen doesn't blame him. In the wake of this video confession, the former Vatican assasin warlock called the CBS comedy "cursed."
"With Angus' Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear to me that the show is cursed," Sheen told People on Tuesday.
Sheen knows a thing or two about that subject, having lost his own lucrative Two and a Half Men job during a 2011 meltdown. But Sheen has always been a loose cannon, whereas the show's youngest star took his coworkers entirely by surprise when he slammed the show.
"No one saw this coming. Everyone was completely blindsided and had no idea he wanted off the show. It's crazy," a show insider told E! News. "He gets along with everyone and has always been professional. This is definitely something new and the cast and crew are worried about him. It seems really out of character. He is a good guy. He really is."
