Actor Ashton Kutcher was born Feb. 7, 1978, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A talent scout discovered him in
college, which led to modeling, most notably for Calvin Klein. In 1998, Kutcher landed the role of Kelso
on That ’70s Show. He later produced MTV’s hit reality television show Punk’d. In 2004, he starred in
The Butterfly Effect, also serving as an executive producer on the film. Kutcher went on to star in films
like Guess Who, A Lot Like Love, The Guardian and No Strings Attached before landing one of his
most anticipated roles to date: playing Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the 2013 biopic Jobs.
Born Christopher Ashton Kutcher on February 7, 1978, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Ashton Kutcher started
out as a model, later becoming a popular actor and successful producer. He was born minutes ahead
of his fraternal twin brother, Michael, to factory workers Larry and Diane Kutcher. At the age of 13,
Kutcher was dealt two painful blows: His parents divorced and his twin brother had to undergo
emergency heart transplant surgery after his heart was badly damaged by a virus. “If I could give him
my heart so that he could live, I would have,” Kutcher later told People magazine. Kutcher, his brother,
and their older sister, Tausha, stayed with their mother after the split. When their mother remarried,
they moved to Homestead, a small farm community. In his new hometown, Kutcher continued to
pursue his interest in acting, appearing in school productions. After his high school days drew to a
close, Kutcher’s rebellious side emerged. He was arrested for breaking into his school in his senior
year and spent a lot of time partying. After graduating in 1996, Kutcher enrolled at the University of
Iowa, where he studied biochemical engineering. He joined a fraternity and continued his partying
ways for the first few months, before hitting the books. In addition to his studies, Kutcher held a
number of odd jobs to pay for school, including sweeping up cereal dust at a General Mills factory.
Before being approached a talent scout, Kutcher knew nothing of the world of male modeling, but that
would change soon after he entered and won the Fresh Faces of Iowa modeling contest in 1997. This
took him to New York City, where he signed with a modeling agency. Some of his most famous gigs
as a model were for designer Calvin Klein and the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. During the
Abercrombie & Fitch shoot, Kutcher met his future girlfriend, model and actress January Jones.
In the spring of 1998, Ashton Kutcher landed his breakthrough role on the popular retro sitcom That
’70s Show. The comedy followed the life of Eric Foreman (Topher Grace) and his teenage friends as
they grew up in the small town of Point Place, Wisconsin. Appearing as the adorable but dense
Michael Kelso, Kutcher won over fans his broad humor and good looks. Mila Kunis played his onagain, off-again on-screen girlfriend, Jackie, and Danny Masterson, Laura Prepon and Wilmer
Valderrama rounded out the rest of the cast as Steve Hyde, Donna Pinciotti and Fez, respectively. The
young actors on the show developed a strong bond, and were often seen out together in Los Angeles.
In addition to his work on the series, Kutcher began landing film roles. His early film credits include the
private school comedy Coming Soon (1999), the romantic comedy Down to You (2000) with Freddie
Prinze Jr. and Julia Stiles,
and the crime drama Reindeer Games (2000) with Ben Affleck. For his first leading role, Kutcher didn’t
stary far from his television image. He played a wacky stoner, Jesse Montgomery III, who, along with
friend Chester Greenburg (Seann William Scott), tries to retrace the previous night’s events in Dude,
Where’s My Car? (2000). While it was derided by critics, the comedy was a box-office success, and
Kutcher, subsequently, developed a large fan base. That same year, the actor was named one of
People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People.”
Kutcher’s follow-up film, Texas Rangers (2001), however, failed to make much of an impression on
audiences or critics. Bouncing back soon after, he appeared in two romantic comedies: My Boss’s
Daughter and Just Married (both released in 2003). Also in 2003, Ashton Kutcher launched his career
as a producer. He served as a co-producer on the film My Boss’s Daughter, and helped create the
MTV cable network’s hit reality television show Punk’d. Preying on unsuspecting stars, Punk’d played
practical jokes on the likes of Justin Timberlake, Hilary Duff and Tyra Banks during its eight seasons
