Ashton Kutcher was born in February of 1978. He started his career by becoming a male model and then accessed fame and fortune as an actor. His charming portrayal of "cute-but-not-so-bright" Michael Kelso on That 70s Show made him a household name. He moved on to star in many movies and created (and hosted) the MTV show, Punk'd. This MTV show was all about playing pranks on celebrities.

Ashton also played the late Apple guru, Steve Jobs, in the biopic, Jobs.

Ashton used to be married to an older woman, Demi Moore (Ghost, St. Elmo's Fire), before a scandal involving Ashton and younger women ruined his marriage.

Now, he seems happily coupled with Russian-born actress, Mila Kunis, who was so good in Black Swan.

Mila was just fourteen when she started working with nineteen-year-old Ashton on the set of That 70s Show.

Ashton seems to be a guy that people love or hate. He's gotten a lot of respect and adoration and he's also made some mistakes which have cost him credibility.

Today, I'm going to share 15 sketchy facts about Ashton Kutcher. Some may be familiar to you, while others may be a little bit of a surprise...

For example, did you know that Ashton used to skin deer for a butcher?

15 He’s Probably A Cheater

Did Ashton break his marriage vows to Demi Moore? It seems that way, but only the key players in the Ashton/Demi breakup know the truth. According to a range of media reports, Ashton cheated on Demi with a young woman called Sarah Leal. Sarah sold out by talking to the tabloids about her affair with Kutcher.

The paps caught him partying with a couple of women and rumor has it he spent quality time with both of these ladies on the same night.

Maybe Ashton just wasn't mature enough to tie the knot. He and Demi did seem to be in love for a while. Love doesn't always last. Ashton said that he found the label of "adulterer" hard to deal with. He also said that going through his divorce made him realize how complicated marriage breakups really are.

14 Trent Reznor Can’t Stand Him

Oscar-winning Nine Inch Nails frontman, Trent Reznor, thinks that Ashton’s attempts to paint himself as a tech genius are pathetic. Trent used a profane word to describe Ashton in an interview. The word started with the letter, "A".

It would be kind of humiliating if an edgy and respected alt-rock God starting insulting you like that in the press, wouldn't it?

Trent Reznor clearly views Ashton Kutcher as a great big poseur, who threw some money at a tech company and then tried to pass himself off as some kind of Silicon Valley wizard, like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs (whom Ashton actually portrayed in a movie).

Anyway, Ashton isn't Trent's type. No big deal. Trent's made some faux-pas of his own, such as dating Courtney Love, who nicknamed Trent, "three inch nails" after he reportedly dumped her. Nobody's perfect, right?

13 Ashton Needs Help To Build His Character

Ashton's home state is Iowa. He was discovered there by a model scout and that was the catalyst for his life of riches and fame. Ashton accepted an award in his home state, for 'being a good role model'. However, while accepting the accolade, he admitted that his wife helps him to learn lessons in character regularly.

It's nice that Ashton is self-aware enough to know that he doesn't have it all together. Apparently, Mila is the one who's up early, looking after the kids. One day, Ashton decided to get up before she did and tend to the little ones. He felt proud of his effort until down-to-earth Mila Kunis reminded him that she "does it every day".

Mila seems like a strong person and she seems to bring balance to Ashton's life. He has really calmed down and gotten domesticated since he married her. Did you know that Ashton was arrested for robbing his school as a teen? He was with two other guys. After that incident, he was a pariah in his community.

Some people have to learn by making mistakes and Kutcher is apparently one of these people. Mila is helping him to figure it all out.

12 He’s Allegedly Well-Endowed

Sometimes, celebrities get cornered during interviews...and get pressured into revealing all sorts of funny details. For example, Howard Stern is known for his tactic of "wearing down" his guests, by trapping them in his studio for hours, until they get tired, forget about the fact that they are being recorded...and then start to dish out plenty of exciting gossip!

Looks like another interviewer used some crafty tactics to get Mila Kunis to discuss the dimensions of Ashton's private parts. At first, she likened Ashton's "you know what" to a carrot. This unleashed peals of laughter.

She quickly backtracked and then compared the same body part of Kutcher's to a "can of Guinness". That's a sizable beer can.

Which description is accurate? Only some can say for sure. Mila and Ashton know the truth.

11 Ashton Has Reportedly Been Rude To Some Fans

One fan tried to get up close and personal with Ashton and his ex-wife, Demi, while they were partying at the Palms Casino. The fan got rudely dissed and had a lot to say about the unfulfilling encounter online.

There are other reports of Ashton being dismissive of his fans, too.

Also, Ashton offended Kathy Griffin. She's a comedienne who is no stranger to controversy herself. She thinks that Ashton is one of the rudest celebrities out there, along with Mad Men hottie, Jon Hamm.

She's had bad experiences with both guys, and said that Ashton was dismissive of her when they had to present an award together. He barely said more than a few words to her and made her feel like he looked down on her.

10 He Offended Miranda Lambert

The biggest country stars in the world were weirded out when Ashton Kutcher showed up to present an award. He ambled out onto the stage at the Academy of Country Music Awards, adorned in a cheesy red suit and a great big cowboy hat. Then, he did a little country crooning, which apparently did not thrill the crowd.

Miranda Lambert accepted an award from Ashton and, afterward, gave his conduct at the awards some careful thought. She wondered if he might be mocking country music and wanted to know if online fans thought the same thing.

Plenty of them did.

Apparently, Ashton also acted the fool at the CMA after-party. He arrived with a massive entourage, still dressed in his red cowboy suit. The after-party crowd couldn't really understand why he was there. He reportedly stuck with his posse at the party and didn't talk to anyone else.

9 He Was Mila’s First Kiss

Ashton and Mila have known each other for so long and I do think that this bodes well for a long and happy marriage. Hollywood marriages don't tend to go the distance, but these two might just make it.

Back on the set of That 70s Show, Ashton used to assist Mila with her homework. He was particularly helpful when it came to science. It's possible that Mila hero-worshiped him, since he was nineteen and she was only fourteen. He must have seemed so mature, whether he was or not!

Ashton actually had to kiss Mila on the show when she was only fourteen. He felt uncomfortable kissing someone so young and even wondered if it might be against the law. He seemed protective of Mila then and is protective of her now. He thinks that that TV smooch was probably the first kiss that Mila ever had!

Now, they're parents to Wyatt and Dmitri. Ashton says Mila is an amazing Mom.

8 He Loves Watching “The Bachelor”

Ashton and Mila have good times at home by tuning into reality TV. They prefer, “The Bachelor”. They clearly love the drama that happens when one "eligible" bachelor is thrown together with a bunch of women who have to compete for his favor.

This show has a concept which is bit sickening. It's weird when a pack of ladies go after someone who is basically a stranger to them. However, there's "The Bachelorette", too, so men and women are humiliating themselves in equal measure.

We all like to zone out and watch reality TV sometimes. I was never into "The Bachelor", but plenty of people love it and Ashton enjoys watching it with his beautiful wife.

Ashton and Mila appeared on "The Bachelorette" and seemed really happy to be there.

7 He Used To Work At A Butcher Shop

What was your first job? I bet it wasn't as gross as having to skin deer at a butcher shop. That was Ashton's first job. I remember reading that Harry Styles' first job was at a bakery. The older ladies who worked there thought that Harry was as sweet as the treats that they sold. I think Harry's first job sounds much better than Ashton's.

Although many of us eat meat, a lot of us don't confront the reality of what happens to animals before they become protein sources. We pick up packages of meat and put the unpleasantness out of our minds.

Ashton has faced this reality. While he's not a full-fledged vegetarian these days, he dabbles. He once went on a "fruitarian" diet for a full month and then needed medical care at a hospital. He tried this crazy diet because Steve Jobs tried it, too and he was going to play Jobs in the movie.

6 Josh Duhamel Beat Him In A Modeling Competition

Ashton did win one modeling competition and then went to New York to do the Zoolander thing. However, he lost a second modeling competition to Josh Duhamel.

Who do you think is cuter? If I were the judge, I probably would have given Josh the prize, too, but we all have different tastes. I find that both of these guys seemed a bit into themselves. I like the British actors as they don't seem quite as ego-driven.

Both of these guys went on to amazing success after working as male models. It was a great springboard for both of them. Both can act pretty well, too. Sometimes, models don't really make the transition into acting too successfully, but Josh and Ashton just keep getting new projects, roles, and huge paychecks.

5 He Misses Demi’s Kids

Ashton spent a decade with Demi’s kids. Now, he doesn’t see them and he says he misses them. Do they miss him back? It's actually hard to say. They may resent him for hurting their Mom, but also wish that they could be buddies with him again. He probably was fun sometimes.

It's sad how kids have to deal with all of these complications when their parents' relationships tank. It's definitely the saddest thing about divorce. Kids don't deserve the pain, but they feel it, just like their parents do. It's sometimes damaging to them. They don't have the coping skills of adults.

Demi's kids are not babies anymore. They probably have good and bad memories of Ashton. However, they are loyal to Demi and that's understandable. She is their Mom.

4 He Got Rich From An Uber Investment

Ashton was already wealthy when he invested in Uber, but he got richer by putting money into this ride-share company. He earned two million from his investment.

This is around the time when Ashton re-branded himself as a tech entrepreneur. Uber is all about the app that connects drivers with those who want rides. Ashton went on to invest in more companies. He even appeared as a "guest shark" on Shark Tank. I watched that episode (Shark Tank is entertaining) and Ashton conducted himself pretty well.

Ashton is really playing up the "tech guru" thing. He even appeared on the cover of Forbes Magazine. I found his Forbes cover shot a bit embarrassing.

I think he wants to prove to people that he's not Kelso, and he isn't, but maybe he's just trying too hard to convince the world that he's amazingly smart and tech-y. It grosses some people, such as Trent Reznor, out!

3 He Has Nightmares About Mila Kunis Cheating

We all have weird dreams and he does, too. He once woke up upset because he dreamed that Mila was cheating with a co-star.

He says that she’s had the same types of dreams about him.

Our subconscious minds are loaded with impressions, emotions, memories, and fears. At night (especially when we eat before bed), we sometimes have crazy dreams that just seem so real. Hearing about Ashton's dreams, which show insecurity, makes him seem more human and less like the big-time Hollywood star.

We're all human beings, we all have bad dreams sometimes and we all wake up disconcerted after our nightmares.

Mila seems very loving with Ashton and he seems besotted with her, too. Let's hope these two stay together. So many celebrity marriages don't go the distance. It's just too easy for rich celebs to move on.

2 He Defended Penn State Head Coach Joe Paterno

Ashton made a big mistake by defending this coach, who was accused of knowing about Jerry Sandusky’s abuse of kids years before Sandusky was exposed.

When Ashton tweeted in defense of Paterno (note: Paterno did not abuse children, but was alleged to know about it), he almost broke the Internet. Sometimes, it seems like Ashton tweets before he thinks. He just fires it out there because he's feeling passionate. He doesn't consider all sides of the issue. This was one of those times. Then, he gets hate online and gets defensive.

This was an issue that would have been better off staying away from. It's best left to people involved in the situation, who have access to evidence and hard facts. However, Ashton is very opinionated in general and feels the need to express himself online.

1 Aziz Ansari Can’t Stand Him

Ashton appeared in a Popchips ad and put on "brownface" for the commercial.

He was ripped apart for his "racist caricature" of an Indian male. Master of None star, Aziz Ansari, is still seething about the Popchips ad.

Aziz has troubles of his own these days. But I don't blame Aziz for being offended by this Popchips ad and I don't understand what Ashton was thinking when he agreed to do the ad. It seems crazy to me that he wouldn't understand why it would offend people. Anyway, Aziz is currently being criticized for his conduct with a young woman... Aziz is discovering what the #metoo movement really means.

Hollywood culture is changing. I'd like to think that this Popchip ad would never be made now. Ashton did the ad back in 2012.
