Ashton Kutcher on Portraying Steve Jobs

In the spontaneity of a recent interview with The Verge, Ashton Kutcher refers to his rather notable career in acting and modeling as a mere ‘detour.’ This is especially significant coming from the 35-year-old personality, who has made more of a reputation for playing dopey-type characters than those that actually represent his nature. In reality, Kutcher is an investor in a myriad of startups, which only scratch the surface of his interest in technology and science. With this in mind, the former Punk’d host seems all the more well-equipped to play Steve Jobs in the forthcoming Jobs film. Watch the above interview to discover Kutcher’s take on playing Steve Jobs, how he prepared for the role, and what exactly the film means to him.
