Angus T. Jones is keeping it old school.
In fact, the Two and a Half Men alum appeared to be throwing it back to the days when his hit CBS sit-com was still on air, showing off a flip phone as he stepped out in Los Angeles on Aug. 29.
Looking nearly unrecognizable with a bushy beard, the 29-year-old had the early aughts device in one hand and an oversized water bottle in another while taking stroll around the Sherman Oaks neighborhood. For his day out, Angus kept it casual in a gray hoodie and black shorts paired with high-top sneakers and a knitted beanie.
The sighting comes more than a decade after Angus left Two and a Half Men. During his 10 seasons the widely successful series, which starred, which also starred Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen as the titular characters, Angus became one of the highest-paid child actors on TV by the time of his departure, according to TMZ.
Since stepping away from the spotlight, Angus has enjoyed what he's previously called "normal existence," which included attending the University of Colorado at Boulder.
"I wasn't the center of everyone's attention," he recalled of his college days in a 2016 interview with People, "and that was nice."
And though his exit from Two and a Half Men—which ultimately ran for 12 seasons—did stir up some drama at the time, with Angus infamously bashing the series as "filth" in a video for Alabama-based church Forerunner Chronicles, he said his mindset is not so "doomsday" anymore.
"I'm having fun and enjoying where I'm at," he told the outlet. "I no longer feel like every step I take is on a land mine."
To see what else the Two and a Half Men cast has been up to since the show went off the air, keep reading.
Charlie Sheen was one of the original "men" in Two and a Half Men, playing Charlie Harper in the first eight seasons of the CBS sitcom opposite Jon Cryer as his on-screen brother. Sheen entered drug treatment and the eighth season was cut short.

After exiting Two and a Half Men, Sheen booked the TV version of Anger Management, which aired from 2012 to 2014 and produced 100 episodes over two seasons. Since, Sheen popped up on The Goldbergs and on the big screen was in Scary Movie 5, Machete Kills and 9/11.

He also reprised his That '70s Show role in the recent That '90s Show. He married Mila Kunis in July 2015. The two have two kids, daughter Wyatt and son Dimitri.
