Christopher Ashton Kutcher; born February 7, 1978) is an American actor,
producer, investor, and former model.
Kutcher began his career as a model. He began his acting career portraying Michael Kelso in the Fox sitcom That '70s Show, which aired for eight seasons. He made his film debut in the romantic comedy Coming Soon and became known by audiences in the comedy film Dude, Where's My Car?, which was a box office hit. In 2003, he appeared in romantic comedies Just Married and My Boss's Daughter and, the same year, he created, produced, and hosted Punk'd which aired on MTV for five seasons until its revival in 2012. In 2004, Kutcher starred in the lead role of the psychological film The Butterfly Effect and gained public recognition.
Kutcher subsequently appeared in more romantic comedies, including Guess Who (2005), A Lot Like Love (2005), What Happens in Vegas (2008), and No Strings Attached (2011). From 2011 to 2015, he starred as Walden Schmidt on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men. In 2013, Kutcher portrayed Steve Jobs in the biographical film Jobs.
In April 2011, Kutcher and then-wife Demi Moore began a public service announcement campaign claiming that "real men" do not engage the services of child prostitutes who are the victims of human trafficking.Kutcher's claims that 100,000 to 300,000 American children were sold into sexual slavery were criticized by newspaper The Village Voice, which gave evidence refuting the claims. Kutcher may have understood a study referring to minors "at risk" for sexual exploitation as referring to children actually being prostituted. Experts estimate the true numbers to be in the hundreds, not the hundreds of thousands. Kutcher reacted to the criticism by accusing the Village Voice of promoting child prostitution and using Twitter to request that Village Voice advertisers (including American Airlines, Disney, the City of Seattle, and Domino's Pizza) withdraw their advertising from publications owned by its parent company.
Kutcher and actress Demi Moore married on September 24, 2005. On November 17, 2011, Moore announced her intention to end the marriage.
