So, what happened to Jonathan Taylor Thomas? Well, he had other ambitions beyond Hollywood. Therefore, he chose to leave Home Improvement in 1998. He said that he had been acting non-stop over eight overs. So why did he leave? Well, he wanted to do normal stuff, like going to school, travel, and have a bit of a break for good.

Thereafter, he went to study at Harvard, St. Andrews University in Scotland, and Columbia. In fact, he loved the experience and the anonymity that college life had given him. It was a novel experience for him “To sit in a big library amongst books and students”.

While it’s true that he made some brief returns to the industry. For example, he appeared on the series Veronica Mars, 8 Simple Rules, Smallville. However, he chose to leave the industry once again, in 2005. He wanted to be free of the glamour world, paparazzi, and encounters of the fans.

However, he came back once again to the industry, as he did Last Man Standing. Moreover, he also made four appearances between 2013-2015. He also directed a few episodes and worked behind the camera. Though after those appearances, he retracted himself once again from the limelight, and, yes, it was probably his final stint.

Final Thoughts:

It’s been a long time since the fans had seen the actor. Naturally, he is once again under the limelight and people can’t stop talking about their childhood crush. Though it doesn’t look like that he’s interested in the industry, of course, only time will tell.
