The Tragedy of 'Home Improvement' star Jonathan Taylor Thomas Is So Sad

[@vnssalas3368]

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is a good actor and a strong human being. He was very mature young man who was able to sort out who he was and his priorities. He saw potential pitfalls and with strong conviction put his life on a path HE wanted, not what the industry, his peers, and Hollywood insiders wanted. Bravo,well done.🤩

[@rosemariefike433]

His life is his business - not ours.

[@JodiSmith-c6r]

The Media always has to know about certain Stars person life because they have nothing else better to do... Shame on them.. The Media I'm talking about 😮

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Well said

[@terryburns]

@@johnpatterson9219 Jonathan Taylor Thomas is the Greatest actor from Home Improvement and I really do care about him. I really miss seeing him on T.V.

[@lorrimallous7056]

I wish him the best in life.... Wherever his journey leads him to happiness ".... 🤙 ✌️

[@dawnrex3712]

Jonathan, you do what's right for you. Don't let others bother you. They'll say what they want, when they want, no matter if what they're thinking and saying has any truth to it or not. The road to your happiness and the road to heaven is not through somebody else's yard. 👍

[@EvaRivera-w3u]

Thomas, you did a good decision because if you have ❤❤ there in Hollywood, you would end up like those young teenagers in a bad situation. God bless you.

[@stebaer]

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is a very good and versatile actor as well as very talented too his personal stage name change is very rhythmic as well as very alliterative and catchy too.

[@loveislove4879]

Jonathan clearly realized that fame and fortune doesnt equal happiness. Im glad he took the path that made him happy! Also you can never go wrong with expanding your education. This is not a sad tragedy as the title suggests.

[@terryburns]

I think Jonathan is a great actor and he is doing very good at life. I love him very much.

[@terryburns]

I really don't know why these other comments are so downgrading of Jonathan Taylor Thomas I really think he is a really Great person and I really do love him very very much. He is a Great looking person in my opinion and nobody is going to be able to change my mind.

[@terryburns]

Jonathan I really do think you are a Great actor and I would have loved to have you as a friend. But since we will never met I just want you to know this guy really does care about and I always will. Have a Great life and I will always be thinking of you forever.

So what was the tragedy? The tragedy was wasting time watching this whole video waiting to find out JTT’s tragedy. 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s what I get for being nosy.

[@susbchandler]

Thanks for saving me the time!

[@ericmangels4917]

Thanks for saving me the time too,I've barely gotten this video now I'm going to hit the stop button !

[@FirstLast-ii5cp]

100%

[@RichardDavenport-p8i]

He is awesome always and forever ❤️

[@tomklitsch6638]

Thomas knew what was good for him and did what was right in his eyes. He made the right choice, good for you young man. You kept your head on straight and did not buy into the Hollywood hype.

[@robertklose2140]

At 2:52 you reference Jonathan's real parents while showing a photo of him with Chevy Chase and Farrah Fawcett. That's enough for me. I'm outta here.

[@terric323]

I truly pray 🙏🏼 he is doing well and loving life 👊🏼knocking it out. ✌️🤟🏼🗣️🕵️

[@JadaCol]

He was my crush ❤

[@thomascombs7761]

Good for him to live HIS life. The public needs to NOT be so involved with famous people. They are NO different than you or any other person.

[@Robert-hg7ir]

The only tragedy I see is what we all deal with for better or worse. Our fleeting youth and the passage of time. I admire what he accomplished as a young actor and having the maturity to move ahead with other ambitions. We only have one shot at this thing, so strive for happiness and enjoy the ride!

[@voiceofjeff]

Jonathan is a person with very real feelings. Whatever decision he makes is his own and nothing the rest of us need concern ourselves with. The most horrifying thing I saw here was that he appeared on Rosie's show! UGH!

[@mariharkonen6962]

I think the reason why Tim didn't approve Jonathan's decision to leave Home Improvement was because unlike Jonathan, Tim was committed to become a full-time actor alongside his stand-up. The pressures of acting job proved to be too much for Jonathan. It makes total sense why Tim couldn't understand why Jonathan left the show. Which is why Tim is currently at the top of his career. The same thing was with Patricia Richardson. She said in the documentary that she didn't want to do Home Improvement beyond the pilot episode. She stuck around solely for the payment. Patricia's career declined significantly after Home Improvement ended and she and Tim no longer had anything to do with each other. While Patricia's reason to leave the show was partially understandable, she created an toxic work environment on the set by demanding more money and bigger part in the show. Tim ultimately decided to end the show because he was tired of the drama she was causing. Reportedly, the show's producers almost give into her demands about the equal payment and the executive producer rights but Tim was the one who pulled the plug because he didn't want to work with people who's sole motivation is money. The producers claimed that Patricia held the cards. That is not true. Home Improvement was identified with Tim Allen and his comedy routine. He was the star of the show. The rest of the cast were supporting actors. There is no such thing as "gender pay gap". There is "How much value do you bring to the industry" gap. Tim was the glue that held the show together. Take Patricia away, people would still watch. Take Tim away, there is no show. The producers and Patricia herself overestimated her worth and value on the show. Tim didn't do the show for the money, he did it because he LOVED doing the show. The same can't be said about the rest of the cast. People don't want to talk about this but Patricia Richardson was replaceable. Tim Allen was not. Tim was the one who actually had more integrity and spine than Patricia did. She practically stabbed him in the back by single handedly forcing the show to get cancelled by making the pay gap an issue behind-the-scenes because her ego and pride was wounded. It wasn't right or fair that Tim had to go through this type of injustice.

[@mandyholmberg5106]

I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to him and his family and friends ❤

[@mariashepardson94]

Just because his life was different than others , he was expecting to have trouble finding his way to adult , actually he was doing what he needed to do what he wanted to do with school and his personal life Most kids at his age gives in the drugs or mental health care He showed he a great person who knew what he wanted in life, proud of him ❤️ taking the role of a young adult ♥️

[@amberrodriguez851]

This title to this video is so misleading 🙄

[@markcraven8386]

Thankyou

[@Ruthgranata-p9l]

How so

[@OldHollywoodCelebrities]

Jonathan is a talented actor who wisely chose his own path, not what Hollywood wanted.

[@sharonapple9265]

I believe he did good decisions for his life and following with school .

[@jackiemcadams6727]

I like this Guy he was on Home In prominent and your favorite place in the morning and don't forget to tell me today Jackie Mcadams 3:22

[@Catsclaw-ru6zw]

I was wondering what happened to him & why I never saw him in any movies or shows & good for him once the cameras stopped rolling he goes home & does regular kid & teenage things. He stayed out of the party & drug scene & this has saved his life unlike other child actors although some don't have the luxury of going home to mom & dad & friends to do normal things. Some child stars come from broken homes or have parents who wanted to have fame but were denied that opportunity, so they force their kid into it which leaves mental scars on the kid. Why his former costars expressed disappointment in his choice to not be part of the Hollywood elite is pathetic it's Jonathan's life if he doesn't want to participate in Hollyweird's messed up lifestyle that's his choice. Get off his back especially Jay Leno Jon should've told him "Hey, it's none of you damn business how that for your answer Leno."

[@mandyholmberg5106]

He also did some voice acting as the of Simba in the Disney movie the Lion King❤

[@roxannemcburnett-qj6sq]

I agree his life is his business and nobody else’s at any age

[@GoldKingsMan]

Other guy is Chevy Chase..

[@peterdelestrez8880]

Leave the guy alone. Respect his privacy.

[@jillhorvat1730]

He reminds me of Christian Slater bitd.

[@GoldKingsMan]

Ya, in Broken Arrow.

[@LeeDavis-h5b]

Seems like he knows what he wants.

[@mandyholmberg5106]

I really! Feel like maybe it was his and his family's decision to leave the show❤

[@rebeccafoughty725]

I think he is smart and made a wise choice.

[@LoisJackson-ly7vn]

Enjoy home improvement

[@KoiStewart-r6d]

Who cares what he's up to I think people need to stop mind their business It sound like an Ai talking who cares what's going on with his family

[@FirstLast-ii5cp]

Good for him - he gave Hollywood the finger, & was better off for it. The only thing “tragic” was the clickbait title I fell for.

[@jorgecampos868]

too long

[@vance99]

Seems like a Clickbait Video in my eyes :( .. Dont like Clickbaits.. gets thumbs down..

[@lyfelessmarlin]

What was so sad

[@allgrapes4352]

Still love ya man!

[@marshataylor9963]

He can di what he wants has and had the right to stop acting when he felt was right time for him lm happy he chose what he wanted to do..

[@johngreene9824]

Click bait...lies...none of this is teue

[@comic9926]

He’s not dead , what the hell

[@kellymendez]

That's his business .even if he is

[@DiannaSimmons]

What is the tragedy in this?

[@robertoster4858]

You padded this out with repetition and nonsense.

[@janemcdill7105]

Yes..what tragedy????

[@roberttackaberry4231]

Yeah still trying to figure out what the "tragedy" is? The narrator makes it sound like he past away or something. The dude just wants privacy. This whole thing is a pos and so totally misleading.

[@kellymendez]

He was very cute .that i can see

[@Jules-m7v]

totally Misleading

[@Senoritagata-nu5te]

What's the big deal? So

[@JoanReiman]
