Casual good looks and a rugged outdoor attitude come naturally to this tall Midwesterner who was born on February 7, 1978 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Ashton, whose parents were both factory workers, left Iowa in the dust (as well as his job sweeping dust for General Mills) and headed to New York after he was discovered in a bar and convinced to enter a modeling contest (which he won).

The 6’3” hunk did stints on the runways of New York, Milan and Paris, but eventually the siren song of Hollywood called and Ashton headed west. He quickly got an audition for a part in a new series, which he didn’t accept. He was asked to do a cold audition for another show and landed the part of Michael Kelso in “That 70’s Show.” Seven seasons later and Ashton Kutcher was a name on everyone’s lips.

Ashton dated a number of actresses before meeting and falling in love with Demi Moore. The two wed on September 24, 2005 with about 100 friends in attendance. Public interest in the two has been intense, in part because of their 16-year age difference.

Ashton has also made his mark in an impressive run of movies, playing well with his earnest goofy personal character. He’s also making his mark as a producer and co-owns two restaurants in Los Angeles.
