Ashton Kutcher is proving to be more than just a pretty face and jokester. Most famous for his sit com roles in That 70s Show and Charlie Sheen's replacement in Two and a Half Men, Kutcher seems to be on a mission of making pop culture take him more seriously. Some of the actor's appearances this past year have shown significant substance and shocked viewers. On "The Ellen Show" that aired Wednesday, Kutcher proved again that he is more profound than ever given him credit for.
The comic actor's transformation to advocate for hard work seems to have kicked-off when Kutcher was presented with an "Ultimate Choice Award" at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards in August. Kutcher, who deemed the acceptance speech extremely important because of the young demographic it would reach, absolutely dazzled viewers with his insight and delivery of his message.
During the epic speech Kutcher stated, "I believe that opportunity looks a lot like hard work." "When I was 13, I had my first job with my dad carrying shingles up to the roof, and then I got a job washing dishes at a restaurant, and then I got a job in a grocery store deli, and then I got a job at a factory sweeping Cheerio dust off the ground."
Kutcher's most gripping statement, "I've never had a job in my life that I was better than," was perhaps better than any politicians blow to our entitlement-privy society. Needless to say, the video of the speech went viral.
The film "Jobs" which also premiered simultaneously with the Teen Awards Show, was another serious notch in Kutcher's belt. His spot-on portrayal of Steve Jobs, the controversial founder of Apple and genius behind all things "I," revealed Kutcher as a versatile actor who can do drama as easily as he can carry off comedy. Not only did Kutcher closely resemble Steve Jobs after dramatic weight loss, the mannerisms were eerily identical as well.
His most recent interview by Ellen DeGeneres is also creating continued awareness of Kutcher's serious side. Ellen gave a big "thumbs up" on Kutcher's Teen Awards speech and agreed with his philosophy.
Kutcher may have very well over-achieved again during his latest Ellen interview when advocating for having a job; any job. Kutcher suggested that even his friends think working at Starbucks is beneath them. Making clear his opinion for their benefit, Kutcher concludes, "the only thing that can be below you is to not have a job."
Oh snap, he did it again!
