The star appeared on the hit series while she was engaged to Liam Hemsworth, and fans loved her talkative character. Cyrus had a great time working on the series, and Angus T. Jones spoke well of the star's guest appearance. However, Miley Cyrus admitted it felt weird to take off her ring for a scene she filmed with Jones.

Throughout its 12 seasons, numerous celebrities guest-starred on Two and a Half Men. Miley Cyrus appeared in two episodes of season 10 (You Do Know What The Lollipop Is For and Avoid The Chinese Mustard) as Mississippi (nicknamed Missi), a romantic interest for Jake Harper (Angus T. Jones). Jones went from having a $20 million net worth to falling off the grid after Two and a Half Men. Although he left the show after season 10, Chuck Lorre was able to get Jones to return for the finale.
In a press release, Miley Cyrus' character on Two and a Half Men, Missi, was described as "an old family friend of Walden's [Ashton Kutcher] who comes to visit for a week and develops a relationship with Jake [Jones] when he comes home from the Army." During her guest appearance, Cyrus and Jones kiss. Cyrus found the experience awkward after she was asked to remove a certain item.
She told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, that she was asked to take off her ring during her kissing scene with Jones.
"It was kind of weird because [while] I was doing it, here were the prop guys and they were like, 'Do you have your ring on?'" The Wrecking Ball singer admitted removing her ring in order to film a scene kissing Jones felt odd. "And I was like, 'This feels weird, [to] take off my ring and make out with Angus.'"
She explained that while it was strange for her to take her ring off for the scene, she still had a good time during filming. "I'm like... 'This is creepy.' But it was fun," per HuffPost.
Cyrus was also surprised by Jones' mature appearance, and expected him to look younger. "I pictured [Jones] being a little 8-year-old. But he was coming back from the military in the episode and he was... putting on a suit, had a shaved head - he looked good!" Jones, like Cyrus, felt their kissing scene was a little uncomfortable.

Miley Cyrus Had A Great Time On Two And A Half Men And Returned For An Additional Episode
Miley Cyrus spoke about how much she enjoyed working on the hit series, and why she guest-starred on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "It was so fun. Chuck (Lorre) and everyone at Two and a Half Men, they're just genius. I've been wanting to work with Ashton (Kutcher) forever and I couldn't really take time away to do a movie from my record right now. So, we wanted to work together, then we thought Two and a Half Men would be the quick and easy way to do it."
Cyrus had a blast with her cameo, and was thrilled to return.
"It turned out to be something that I loved so much I came back for a second episode. I think it's fun for the show, because what we thought was fun about my character is everyone that came on even when Charlie was there, it was, 'Who's going to sleep with Charlie or who's going to sleep with Ashton?' And that's so not my character."
"My character is just so in your face and blunt and really kind of puts Ashton back in his place. It's really fun and they've never had a girl character come on like that," she added, per MTV.com.
As much as the Jaded singer enjoyed working on the show, other guest-stars had a different experience. For example, Megan Fox, who regrets her role on Two and a Half Men. Thankfully, Cyrus had a different experience.
