Dad is sitting on the carpet with his darling six-month-old daughter, Lily, in a quaint living room with toys strewn around and baby equipment all over the place. Tom’s character, Dad, is adamant about hearing his young daughter say “Dada” for the first time. He’s been told by friends that their babies said “Dada” at a young age, and he’s now determined to have Lily reach the same milestone.
Tom begins by settling down in front of Lily, who is joyfully tinkering with her multicolored stacking rings while sitting cross-legged. With his sparkling eyes fixed on hers, he urges, “Come on, Lily, say ‘Dada’ for Daddy!” Lily responds with a giggle, obviously enjoying her dad’s attention.
Lily laughs, but Tom doesn’t let that stop him. He tries various strategies, such as calling Lily “Dada” repeatedly in the hopes that she will imitate him. He cries out, “Dada, dada, dada,” and makes funny faces to get Lily to pay attention.
Tom then presents a visual book with animal sounds in it. With a gesture of his hand, he asks Lily, “What does the duck say? “Quack, quack!” Excitementally, Lily claps her hands, but says nothing.
Tom then displays Lily’s beloved plush animal, a cuddly rabbit, to her and waves it. “Lily, look! It’s Bunny!” Could you say “Dada” to Bunny please? Lily doesn’t say anything, even when she reaches for the rabbit.
Tom tries everything throughout the day, including singing nursery rhymes and making goofy noises, but Lily only reacts with sweet coos and babbles. He tries, but “Dada” is still evasive.
Tom perseveres despite being frustrated. He is aware that Lily will eventually begin to speak. He shows Lily so much love and care throughout the day, savoring every second of their quality time together.
When it gets dark and Tom is getting Lily ready for bed, he puts a soft kiss on her forehead and murmurs, “Goodnight, Lily.” Perhaps you’ll say “Dada” tomorrow. Tom smiles, knowing that Lily’s response is a beautiful gurgle and that their special bond is unbreakable.
A touching scene of a father and his priceless daughter, excitedly anticipating their next adventure together, is shown to the viewers as the screen fades to dark.
“Jake” from ‘Two and a Half Men’ spotted in rare sighting for first time in years – and he’s unrecognizable
If you’re anything like me, you’ll have to rack your brains to recall the name Angus T. Jones.
Yet the moment I say “Jake” from Two and a Half Men… that’s right, if you’ve ever watched that show, you’ll instantly remember the adorable, witty young man who lived with his father, Alan Harper (Jon Cryer), and uncle, Charlie (Charlie Sheen).
You also might get to wondering just what happened to the actor who played him (the aforementioned Angus T. Jones). At one point in time, it seemed as though the child actor was a burgeoning star with a terrific career ahead of him in the entertainment industry.
Yet these days sighting for Jones are few and far between. He practically dropped off the radar after his time on Two and a Half Men ended more than a decade ago, and his last credited TV appearance was on a 2016 episode of Horace and Pete.
That could be why a recent shot of the now-30-year-old is causing such a stir. The former child star looks absolutely unrecognizable in the picture in question!
It appeared to be one of TV’s great mysteries at the time, why Angus T. Jones went dark after leaving Two and a Half Men.
During his run with the show, the previously unheralded Jones had become one of the highest-paid child actors on television – he reportedly made $300,000 for each episode during the height of the sitcom. Then, over ten years ago, he left the show, before announcing in 2012 that he had no intention of returning for its 11th season.
Speaking in a 2014 interview with KHOU, he Jones said: “It was making light of topics in our world that are really problems for a lot of people.
“I was a paid hypocrite because I wasn’t OK with it, but I was still doing it.”
As per reports, Angus did a lot of soul-searching in 2012, which led to him finding a new religious path and rediscovering his faith.
He joined the Seventh-day Adventist church, a Protestant Christian church known for its decidedness to diet and health and its conservative principles and lifestyle.
These days, many have forgotten about the fresh-faced youngster who entertained millions with his charm and philosophical lines. Angus reportedly moved to Colorado and studied religion at the University of Colorado Boulder.
“Going to college was something I was really, really excited about,” he told People in 2016.
He added: “I wasn’t the center of everyone’s attention, and that was nice.”
Recently, though, a new image of the ex-child star has surfaced, and it’s one that has got a lot of people talking online.
In the picture, the once fresh-faced, clean-shaven Jones sported a thick beard and glasses, with many shocked by the apparent transformation he’s undergone over the years!
According to Page Six, Jones looked, “unrecognizable.”
One commenter claimed that he, “Doesn’t look healthy.”
One user wrote, “[…] What happened to him!!” “He became one and a half men,” remarked one individual.
However, many of his fans also defended Jones writing, “Of course, he’s unrecognizable…he was a kid on the show and it’s years later.”
What do you think? Has Angus T. Jones changed that much since the ending of Two and a Half Men?
