Jake T. Austin Reveals Why He Left 'The Fosters'

Jake T. Austin has finally broken his silence about his seemingly-abrupt departure from The Fosters back in 2015.

If you remember, the 22-year-old actor played Jesus in the first few seasons before he was replaced by Noah Centineo.

When a fan recently asked if he left the show because he didn’t want to play a teenager anymore, Jake cleared things up.

“Not true. I just wanted to do roles with more substantive content,” he tweeted.

Since then, Jake competed on Dancing With the Stars.

The Fosters returns on Tuesday, January 31 on Freeform.
