Humpday Spotlight: Ashton Kutcher

If you grew up in the 2000's, chances are you've seen at least one episode of That 70's Show and loved Michael Kelso aka Ashton Kutcher.  He was the loveable stupid member of the crew that baked out Eric's basement on the reg.  Kelso also was dating one of the hottest smokes in Point Place, Wisconsin, Jackie Burkhart who was played by the ravishing Russian Mila Kunis (I will get back to her later).  He was basically living the High School dream and I would trade places with him in a heart beat to have Mila Kunis as my girl friend.  Even if you were living in a refrigerator box, saying Mila Kunis is your girl friend is a Hole In One on a Par 5.

Ashton than went on to playing a very similar character in the movie Dude, Where's My Car? Ashton and Seann William Scott portrayed 2 best friends who after a night of solid blacking out and winning a lifetime supply of pudding, completely forgot where their car was.  Sure, the premises of the movie sounds like half retarded monkey could come up with, but I can relate.  I tend to get a bit reckless myself from time to time and wake up with not a clue of what happened the night before, shame, and a puddle of puke or pizza crust bed side.  This movie was a staple of my childhood.  I recently watched about half of it at a party with my friends and was able to recite just about every line. From "Dude, what does mine say?!", to ZOLTAN!, there are many parts of this movie that will have you pissing your pants.  I still have this movie in my Top 10 comedies that I've ever seen, and will defend it to the death of me (Which will be around the age of 39 at the rate I eat/lack of physical activity). If you've never seen this movie, you should probably stop reading this and go do so, than come back when you finish. 

MTV gave Ashton his own show in 2003 when he became the host of Punk'd which was a show where celebs were set up in jokes and saw their reaction unfold in front of hidden cameras.  It was a funny show to see how celebrities react when things go haywire.  Ashton was in the spotlight more than ever.

In 2004, we were introduced to a side of Ashton that we have never seen, a very serious role in The Butterfly Effect.  I thoroughly enjoy this movie.  He has the ability to travel back in time and change things in his life for the better.  He than realizes that every thing he does, something negative happens in the future that affects either him, his family, or his circle of friends.  There were a few dark and twisted scenes in the movie that either kept you on the edge of your seat, or cringing in disbelief/disgust.  This was the role that proved to Hollywood that Ashton wasn't just a comedy actor, and had what it took to expand his acting repertoire.   

He's appeared in a bunch of other movies like Just Married, Cheaper By The Dozen, Guess Who, What Happens In Vegas, and most recently Jobs portraying the life of Steve Jobs.  He now is also on the show Two and a Half Men, replacing Charlie Sheen. In 2013 Ashton also gave a speech at the Teen Choice Awards after receiving the Ultimate Choice Award (which is probably as prestegious as a pile of dog shit, but whatever) that was heard by millions and quite inspirational.  Here is his full acceptance speech.  Back to Mila Kunis.  Life came full circle for fans of the show because now Mila and Ashton are now engaged and are expecting a child.  What a lucky guy he is that he got to give his seed to such a stallion of a women.  That baby is probably going to be the most beautiful person ever when their older, book it.
