Angus Turner Jones turns 18 today


TV Guide
Two and a Half Men will technically become three men on Saturday, Oct. 8 when Angus T. Jones turns 18. Jones, who's been playing Jon Cryer's  underachieving son, Jake, since he was 9, has been one of the most successful, not to mention loaded, young stars in the biz.

Jones and his family moved to Los Angeles when he was 4, but he never wanted to be an actor. 

Last year, Jones became the highest-paid child TV actor after signing a $300,000-per-episode contract, guaranteeing him $7.8 million over two seasons. Oh yeah, there's also that hefty $500,000 signing bonus. Under his previous contract, he earned $250,000 an episode. The next highest-paid minor on the list: iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove ($180,000 per episode).

While Cryer told TV Guide Magazine in September that he has not heard from Sheen at all and does not have his number, Jones and Sheen have been keeping in touch. "I talk to him every now and then," Jones told E! "I still want to hang out with him and stuff. We're still friends. There's no hard feelings at all."
