Ashton Kutcher Early Life
On February 7th, 1978, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Christopher Ashton Kutcher was born. His mother Diane worked at Proctor & Gamble, and his father Larry worked in a factory. They are both of Czech, German, and Irish descent.
Tausha, Kutcher’s elder sister, and Michael, his cerebral palsy-suffering twin, round out the family. Reaching for the Stars utilises Michael as a spokesperson.
When Ashton was a kid, he says, he was always very busy because his brother’s illness stressed him out and he didn’t want to have to face more bad news every day.
After a year at Cedar Rapids Washington High School, he transferred to Homestead’s Clear Creek Amana High School.
His interest in acting began at an early age. After the divorce of his parents when he was 16 years old, he became depressed and went on a downward spiral. He was sentenced to 180 hours of community service after being found guilty of third-degree burglary.
Kutcher briefly attended college at the University of Iowa but dropped out to pursue a professional modelling career.
