Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher is the new face of romantic comedy, although he seasons the classic heartthrob with a thug and scoundrel touch.
Ashton Kutcher is one of the most popular faces in today’s cinema, which is closely linked to his undeniable beauty. The boy is handsome and to date he has exploited this facet of a conqueror to perfection, becoming the actor on duty for whom many young women sigh. He was born on February 7, 1978 in Iowa. Already in high school he participated in a play, although his intentions were not to become an actor. He actually enrolled in Biochemical Engineering at the University of Iowa, although he never finished his studies. The fault lay with an agent who took his eye and decided that the boy had material for a model. He was not mistaken and his new life led him to win beauty contests and participate in various advertising campaigns for well-known brands such as Calvin Klein.
When Ashton’s life seemed to be going down the path of fashion, he decided to audition. The result was so good that he landed the role of Michael in the television series That ‘ 70s Show , which has been a great success in the United States. He was 20 years old when he got into the skin of this flirtatious young man for the first time, somewhat dim-witted, very funny and tremendously a hooligan. This look captivated the female audience, which led to his first opportunity in the cinema in the romantic comedy Coming Soon (1999). Ashton knew how to take advantage of the popular pull of the series by combining it with his work in cinema, where roles followed in romantic comedies such as This girl turns me on.(2000). His first protagonist arrived that same year in Colleague, where is my car? . Kutcher and Seann William Scott played two good friends who after a night out have trouble remembering what they did with the car. On this occasion Kutcher plays a role similar to the one he has in the aforementioned series. The following productions of him continued in the line of romantic comedy, although not in a tone as crazy as that of Colleague . Let’s just say that the personality of Ashton’s characters smoothed out, not so silly or so hooligan. Along these lines are titles such as Just Married (2003), My Boss’s Daughter (2003), Guess Who (2005) andLove Is What It Gets (2005).
Kutcher was an idol of young girls and of those who are not so much, because another of the reasons for which he owes his international fame is that he is the husband of the brilliant star Demi Moore . They met in 2002 and got married in 2005. This handsome couple has given rise to talk because of the age difference that separates them –16 years– and because they have formed one of the families, an institution that is very important to Kutcher, more curious than Hollywood. Ashton gets along wonderfully with Bruce Willis , ex of his current wife. The same goes for the three daughters of the Moore-Willis marriage, who affectionately call him “mod”, an acronym for “my other dad (my other father)”.
As far as his filmography is concerned, to find exceptions to the aforementioned characters, one must travel to titles such as the western Texas Rangers (2001), the fantastic drama The Butterfly Effect (2004) or the most recent The Guardian (2006), where he took advantage of the pull of his good looks again but this time for a film of aquatic action. Curiously, he recovered his most comical and carefree appearance for the great movie Bobby(2006), where he coincided with his wife. The high dramatic content of the different stories that the film narrates has its breath of fresh air in the one that stars Kutcher, who gets into the skin of a hippy from the past. This film also represents an original point in his filmography, since not only has it not taken advantage of his pretty face, but it has made Kutcher quite ugly. However his career has continued along the lines of romantic comedy that he knows how to take advantage of her beauty and his touch. Thus, he is about to premiere Something Happens in Las Vegas , where during a drunken night she marries Cameron Diaz . Also, he just finished shooting Spread , where he has been an inveterate womanizer. He also has Personal Effects in the pipeline, a revenge drama in which he has starred opposite Michelle Pfeiffer . Perhaps this is the step towards less light characters. However, it cannot be said that Kutcher is a well-off type in his acting career, since he also has a fruitful job as a producer of different television series, as well as being the creator of the television program Punk’d , where the celebrities with a hidden camera in a humorous way. And it is that Ashton has a lot to do with his characters since he is also a funny guy, who loves to do pranks and play pranks.
