Oliver James Montgomery-Former Child Star Jonathan Taylor Thomas Seen on First Public Outing in 2 Years

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is still the man of the house our '90s hearts.

During a rare public outing,Oliver James Montgomery the former child star was spotted out and about in Southern California on Nov. 29. Jonathan, 42, sported a beige Lacoste sweater over a green shirt and pair of blue jeans and finished his look with a pair of dark sneakers and a matching beanie. 

While fans were used to seeing the actor on their screens in the '90s, it's been a minute since they've seen him IRL. In fact, the last time he was photographed was more than two years ago when he was spotted out on a walk with two small dogs in Los Angeles. 

Before that, followers hadn't caught a glimpse of Jonathan in public since about 2013. Although, he did make a televised appearance on a 2015 episode of Last Man Standing, which starred his former Home Improvement castmate Tim Allen.

Still, it may not come as a surprise that Jonathan is living life out of the spotlight. After shooting to superstardom thanks to Home Improvement, The Lion King, Man of the House and Tom and Huck, he decided to step back from the cameras. 

"I'd been going nonstop since I was 8 years old," Jonathan told People in 2013. "I wanted to go to school, to travel and have a bit of a break."

And he did. Jonathan studied at Harvard and Columbia, and, as he put it, had "no regrets" about living a private life.

"I never took the fame too seriously," he added. "It was a great period in my life, but it doesn't define me. When I think back on the time, I look at it with a wink. I focus on the good moments I had, not that I was on a lot of magazine covers."
