Christopher Ashton Kutcher (born February 7 1978) is an American actor and model born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. His height is 6' 1.5" (1.87m). Ashton has an older sister, Tausha and fraternal twin, Michael, who is younger by 5 minutes. Michael was born with cardiomyopathy, a deadly disease that eats away at the heart's muscles; he was given about six hours to live, but survived with a transplant.
At one time Kutcher had a job sweeping floors at a General Mills plant. He once was so poor, he donated blood for money. He was kicked out of the school play because he was caught drinking beer. He got arrested at 18 years old for breaking into his school with a friend and stealing money from a vending machine. Because his probation prohibited him from leaving Iowa, Kutcher majored in biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa in 1997 but dropped out to pursue modeling.
Kutcher began his career as a model and later moved to television. He was discovered in a bar in Iowa City, Iowa. A month before he was discovered, he had planned to move to Hollywood, but was asked to go back to college by his mother. Kutcher achieved stardom on the Fox television series That '70s Show and has gone on to star in his own MTV hidden camera show Punk'd.
Kutcher has starred in the films Dude, Where's My Car? (2000), Just Married (2003), The Butterfly Effect (2004) and Guess Who (2005). He also tried out for the role of Danny Walker in Pearl Harbor, but lost out to Josh Hartnett.
He is dating actress Demi Moore. He has also dated actress Brittany Murphy.
