The friendship of Tim Allen and Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Tim and Jonathan became friends on the set of Renovation. Jonathon played the role of a son and Tim was his father in the series.

Tim also guided him to do what he wanted to do, but Jonathon started appearing in many movies instead of studying.

Fortunately, they appeared together again on the big screen in this show, Last standing man, and sorted their friendship. Allen expressed his opinion of Thomas in an interview with Yahoo TV:
“Thomas was always great as an actor. Then he went to college and found other interests. Thomas told People he didn’t regret giving up on his acting career and life as a teen idol when he did. I never took fame too seriously.”
Tim Allen Story about surviving a blood clot
Tim was playing football at his university when he broke his foot and over time his toes dislocated. So he went for a checkup and discovered the blood clot in the calf gradually moving to the thigh, lungs and heart. He revealed his story of a blood clot with the National Blood Clot Alliance:
“I underwent a CT scan and a massive “saddle” bilateral pulmonary embolism was found. From what I’ve been told by my team of doctors, I was lucky to be alive, probably because I was in above-average cardiovascular fitness from regularly swimming 1.5 to 2 miles a day for months before surgery. The doctor who installed the filter in my renal vein to prevent any more blood clots from traveling to my lungs said he had never seen a patient survive such a massive blood clot.
