Born Christopher Ashton Kutcher on February 7, 1978 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he began his illustrious career as a model. He signed with Next modeling agency in New York after participating in a competition in 1998. He appeared in Calvin Klein commercials and modeled in Paris and Milan. However, he decided after his modeling success to move to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. At his very first audition, he was cast in the TV series That ‘70s Show, and he played Michael Kelso from 1998 to 2006. Afterwards, he starred in several films, including Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000), Just Married (2003), The Butterfly Effect (2004), Guess Who (2005), and The Guardian (2006). In 2003, he started his own series on MTV called Punk’d, where he pranked his famous pals on a hidden camera. Under Katalyst Films, a production company he co-runs, he has produced several popular reality TV shows, such as Beauty and the Geek, Adventures in Hollyhood, and The Real Wedding Crashers. The actor returned to the small screen in 2011 when he played Walden Schmidt and replaced Charlie Sheen’s character on Two and a Half Men. He remained on the show until the series finale in 2015. Apart from his on-screen success, he is a venture capitalist and has invested in several highly profitable tech startups.
Ashton Kutcher has had two high-profile celebrity relationships over the last 15 years. In 2003, he met his celebrity ex and first wife Demi Moore. Their celebrity marriage lasted five years, and in December 2012, the actor filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. During his divorce proceedings, celebrity gossip tied Kutcher to former That ‘70s Show co-star Mila Kunis. They dated for two years, and in 2014, he popped the question. The two became celebrity parents on October 1, 2014 to daughter Wyatt Isabelle and married in July 2015.
