Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Tim Allen, who played Jonathan's father on Home Improvement, was upset when Jonathan wanted to leave the show and focus on college at the beginning of the show's last season, but he agreed to write him out. Later, Allen got angry when Jonathan spent that summer filming the movie I'll Be Home for Christmas instead of prepping for college. Jonathan did come back for one more episode, but he didn't appear in the series finale. In response to all the rumors about him being upset with Jonathan, Tim Allen says "I love Jonathan, and I loved working with him, and it felt like betrayal...I just missed the kid, that's all." They have since made up and have a good relationship to this day.

- Jonathan Taylor Thomas: (about his "teen idol" status) I was in St. Patrick's Cathedral actually. My Mom was showing me how to light the candle and all that, and this person comes up and is like, "Can you sign this, please?" I was like, "Okay, let's get out of here, because I don't want a big old lightning bolt to come down on me, thank you very much!"

- Jonathan Taylor Thomas (About the rumors of him being homosexual in an interview with The Advocate.): It was just a blatant lie put on the Internet, and then it was just a feeding frenzy... And I'm sure it was validated by my recent roles. What startled me was how willingly people accepted it.
