Biography of Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher is a charismatic Hollywood star of Irish descent who delivered a brilliant portrayal of Steve Jobs in the biographical drama Jobs by Joshua Michael Stern. He is a screenwriter and producer, presenter of TV shows, and a successful entrepreneur in the field of high technology. He rose to fame with his starring role in the science fiction thriller The Butterfly Effect by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber. Net worth: $200 million.

His Childhood: Cedar Rapids, Iowa

In February 1978, Catholic couple Larry and Diane Kutcher welcomed twins. The boy, who was born first, was named Christopher Ashton. His brother, who was born after five minutes, was named Michael. Three years later, the parents noticed that the youngest son was ill. They were devastated by the doctors' diagnosis: cerebral palsy and life-threatening heart problems. From that moment on, Ashton lived in constant fear for his brother's life.

When they were 13, Ashton desperately climbed onto the hospital roof, planning to jump and become a posthumous organ donor for Michael, whom doctors gave only two weeks to live due to his failing heart.

Their father prevented the tragedy by finding a donor within 48 hours, saving Michael's life. Now, Michael is married, runs the center for rehabilitation and assistance in cerebral palsy, and is the closest friend of his older brother. Christopher Ashton also maintains a close relationship with his older sister Tausha.

His Youth: Iowa - New York City

Kutcher's high school years were marked by a suspended sentence for attempted theft and losing his virginity at fifteen.

In an interview, Ashton admitted the experience left him unsatisfied, and two years later, he slept with the same partner again to prove his masculinity to both of them.

His parents' divorce came as a devastating shock to Kutcher. Over time, he came to accept his mother's new husband, his father's new wife, and the stepbrothers he, Michael and Tausha gained.

The University of Iowa, where he planned to study biochemical engineering, became Ashton's unexpected launching pad into modeling. His striking looks helped him win the Fresh Face of Iowa contest and compete in the IMTA talent search competition.

Soon, Kutcher became a brand ambassador for fashion giants Versace and Calvin Klein. Later, in an interview, he candidly admitted he wasn't cut out to be a model. Ashton believed modeling was for women or gay men, and he was neither.

His Career: Television and Movie

The late '90s marked a turning point for Ashton: his roles in the TV series That '70s Show and the comedy Coming Soon (1999) earned him his first major paychecks and led to his own prank show Punk'd. He soon landed a role in the buddy comedy Dude, Where's My Car? alongside Seann William Scott and Jennifer Garner.

From 2000 onward, Ashton stayed busy filming various projects, primarily comedies. It wasn't until 2003 that he took on his first dramatic role in the sci-fi thriller The Butterfly Effect. Co-starring with Amy Smart, Kutcher gained serious recognition following the film's release.

Fans eagerly awaited their idol's next moves, and he delivered when he starred opposite Amanda Peet in the romantic drama A Lot Like Love. Then he and Cameron Diaz starred in the comedy movie What Happens in Vegas. Directors capitalized on his sex appeal in films like Spread, Valentine's Day, and No Strings Attached with Natalie Portman.

But Ashton's career peak came in 2013 with the release of Jobs, the biographical film about Apple's founder. To nail the role, Kutcher studied countless interviews, devoured Walter Isaacson's biography Steve Jobs, and mastered Jobs' walk, style, and eating habits. His commitment to Jobs' fruitarian diet even landed him in the hospital with pancreatic issues.

Critics who had unleashed harsh criticism about Kutcher's casting as the tech genius fell silent when Ashton posted a side-by-side Instagram photo: himself in makeup next to the real Steve Jobs. The resemblance was uncanny. When Kutcher hit the big screen—transforming from young rebel to tech mogul—critics raved about his performance, with Walter Isaacson himself praising Kutcher's ability to not just understand but truly embody Jobs.

While continuing his film career, Ashton joined the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men, taking over from Charlie Sheen as the show's lead. By 2018, Kutcher's filmography boasted over 150 credits, with the actor also writing scripts and producing projects like The Beautiful Life (2009), Killers (2010), and The Ranch (2016).

Personal Life of Ashton Kutcher

The charming Hollywood heartthrob attracted some of the most stunning and famous actresses. The media considered Ashton's relationship with Brittany Murphy his first public romance, though it was brief.

Shortly after the breakup, Kutcher met Demi Moore, who had been divorced from Bruce Willis for three years. Despite the sixteen-year age difference, the seasoned Hollywood star charmed the actor, and Ashton claimed he'd had a crush on her since childhood.

According to Zoomboola.com, two years of dating culminated in an unconventional wedding featuring Jewish customs. Before one hundred and fifty guests, including her ex-husband, the entire ceremony featured Kabbalistic rituals and the traditional breaking of glass.

Two years after the wedding, Ashton had to endure press attacks calling him just another of Moore's whims. When Demi took his surname, the stream of gossip about them died down until the actor gave them new ammunition himself. It was Kutcher's repeated infidelity behind his wife's back.

The final blow to Demi's patience came when Sara Leal gave an interview, where she openly discussed her affair with the Hollywood heartthrob. The affair took place on their sixth wedding anniversary. In 2011, Moore officially announced their divorce.

Despite going through a messy divorce, Kutcher didn't stay single for long. Mila Kunis, who Kutcher met in That '70s Show (on the set of the TV series they kissed for the first time, however, it was demanded by the script), fondly recalled the party where she spotted her old friend.

My God, he's so handsome! - she thought to herself

For a while, the couple kept things casual - friends with benefits by mutual agreement. Everyone was still impressed by the previous relationship: Ashton with Moore, Mila with Macaulay Culkin. When Kunis got pregnant, everything changed: they finally admitted their serious feelings and tied the knot.

The couple had an unusual honeymoon: they road-tripped with Ashton's parents in an RV. As Mila admitted, she initially thought she was in hell. She called the RV a tin can with busted air conditioning. Their GPS led them to some random flood-damaged area, and when they tried to find a California amusement park, they ended up following outdated guidebooks to an area with two prisons. But later, when telling friends about the trip, Kunis laughed about their misadventures.

To communicate with his wife's Ukrainian relatives from Chernivtsi, the actor even learned some Russian.

In 2014, Mila welcomed daughter Wyatt Isabelle, followed two years later by son Dimitri Portwood. Both parents grew up with modest means and know the value of hard work, so they're determined to raise their kids to be self-sufficient rather than rely on their parents' millions.

The proud father revealed in an interview that he'd love to have twelve kids and is seriously considering leaving acting to focus on family and his passion for tech - he's been investing in IT startups for years.

Kutcher's acting career hit a quiet period in the mid-2010s, around the time he turned 40 in 2018. One of his recent projects was playing the main character's father in The Long Home, directed by James Franco. The film follows mysterious events that unfold around the main character after he hires a bootlegger, with a premiere expected in 2020.

Ashton hasn't given up trying to convince his wife to have a third child, hoping to get closer to his dream number of 12 kids, but Mila isn't on board with his plans.

Kutcher believes he'll reach his goal eventually, but for now, he's formed a dad band with James Corden and Danny Masterson.

The film No Strings Attached is very cool! Charismatic Kutcher with his great smile along with Natalie Portman just amazed me in this film.

Hmm, I wonder if this actor starred in serious roles? Only in mediocre comedies did I see him.

I am very glad that Ashton Kutcher started a family with the lovely Mila Kunis. In their life, there is enough humor, and passion, and romance, and friendship. Great couple!
