Ashton's Bio

Christopher Ashton Kutcher was born on February 7th, 1978 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. His twin brother, Michael, followed about five minutes later. Ashton also has an older sister, Tausha. His parents, Larry and Diane, divorced when Ashton was thirteen years old. It was around this same time that his brother had to undergo heart transplant surgery, which went smoothly. Still, the medical emergency impacted Ashton’s life, and he later enrolled in the University of Iowa, where he studied biochemical engineering in hopes of finding some way to help people with cardiomyopathy, the disorder his brother suffered from.

When Ashton was fifteen, his mother moved her family, along with her soon to be second-husband, to Homestead, Iowa - a relatively small farming community. While in high school, Ashton excelled at sports, but also developed a keen interest in theatre - making his debut in a 7th grade production of "The Crying Princess and the Golden Goose."

However, for the time being acting was only a hobby, and he was focused enough on his studies to gain entry into the University of Iowa’s biochemical engineering program. It was while studying at that institution that an agent discovered him in 1997. He was spotted at a restaurant and the agent suggested he enter a modeling contest called Fresh Faces of Iowa. Ashton ended up winning the competition, and earned himself a trip to New York to compete in an International Model and Talent Agency competition. He was quickly signed to an exclusive agency, and ended up traveling the world doing photo shoots and runway shows. Ashton landed some very good gigs, including Versace, and Calvin Klein.

In 1998, he decided to spread his wings some more and went on the audition circuit. One of the first shows he tried out for was That 70's Show , and he was lucky enough to get a very big early break.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Ashton took steps to make the jump to the big screen. He quickly landed roles in the teen romantic comedy, Down to You , the Ben Affleck action flick Reindeer Games and the modern western Texas Rangers , starring James Van Der Beek.

Ashton now has many television and movie roles on his resume. He has proven his talent not only in front of the camera, but behind the scenes as well. His vibrant personality and wit will take him far and keep him entertaining us for many years to come.

In September of 2005, Ashton married his girlfriend of 3 years, Demi Moore. He refers to his marriage as not only being to Demi, but also to her children. The divorce was finalized on November 27, 2013. Ashton began dating his former That '70s Show co-star Mila Kunis during the first half of 2012. After they became engaged in February 2014, she gave birth to their daughter Wyatt in 2014. They got married in July 2015. She gave birth to a son named Dimitri Portwood in November 2016.

Happy Posting

TFTNT, Lulu!

And, yeah, Kelso would probably include his girlfriend in his youtube vids -- until the comments about her upset him (e.g., negative ones or wanting to see more of her -- either because they want to see less of him or because they're being lascivious pigs).

[msstock87]

Thanks for the new thread!

[Grazzhopper]

You're welcome!

Agreed.

[MistyMountainHop]

Do you think Kelso would set up a Patreon account for people to pay to see new photos of him every week?

[msstock87]

Oh I can see that being quite possible, you never know with Kelso.

[Drunk On You]

I could def see that happening.

[msstock87]

I wish they had continued on with Kelso's growth like they did in season 6.

[Grazzhopper]

I found a video of a very young Ashton Kutcher.

[MistyMountainHop]

He's modeling undlewear!

I wonder if that's where the writers got that storyline from.

[msstock87]

Oh wow! What a babyface there!

Right? And he still went by Chris Kutcher then.

[msstock87]

Aww that's right!

[Forwood4Bamon]

is anyone watching the ranch?

[Dr.PP]

Even though this excerpt was bookended with comedic writing, it seemed like a stand out moment for Kelso. I can't think of another where that tone was used for him to that degree. Any other Kelso anomalies?



ERIC: Well, at least I gave it my best shot, right? If Donna loves Casey and not me, then, I mean, I guess it's over.

KELSO: Wha… Forman, you can't give up. Okay, look. Who knows what's gonna happen with me and Jackie. But what you and Donna had? That was, like, real. And I'm telling you, as his brother… Look, Casey is bad news. He's either gonna get bored and split, or something worse is gonna happen. So, you gotta do something.
