The beloved sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” which premiered in 2003, showcased a talented cast that captured the hearts of millions. As we look back from 2025, it’s fascinating to see how the actors have transformed over the years.
Charlie Sheen, who played the hedonistic Charlie Harper at 38, is now 60.

Angus T. Jones, who stole scenes as the clueless Jake Harper, was just 10 when the show began. At 32, he has stepped away from acting to concentrate on education and personal growth, occasionally making appearances to share his journey.
Holland Taylor, who played the glamorous Evelyn Harper, was 60 in 2003 and is now 82. She continues to shine in television and theater while enjoying a loving relationship with actress Sarah Paulson.
Sadly, Conchata Ferrell, who portrayed the humorous housekeeper Berta, passed away in 2020, leaving behind a legacy cherished by fans and colleagues alike.
