His First Name Is Actually Christopher

This actor's full name is Christopher Ashton Kutcher, but he has chosen to go by his middle name instead. It is unclear why he chose this name for himself, but we have to say that we don't hate it.

We almost wonder why his parents didn't name him Ashton in the first place due to its singularity and uniqueness compared to Christopher. The world may never know the answer, but it is one fact that we don't regret learning about this great man.

He Attended Iowa State University

Kutcher attended Iowa State University back in 1997 and he was studying biochemical engineering. He only attended the university for one year before he was discovered by a talent scout.

When 1998 came around, he signed with Next modeling agency and then went on to appear in several commercials. It was his choice in college that brought him into the entertainment industry by chance and we doubt he regrets his decision to leave a lucrative career in biochemical engineering behind.

Kutcher Has A Fraternal Twin Brother

Many people don't know that Ashton Kutcher is actually a fraternal twin. His brother was born with a condition called cerebral palsy, which affects a person's movements and muscle development. He loves his brother and has shared that as children they did everything together and even wore the same clothes.

There were some scares when they were younger as his brother's heart failed, but fortunately, he received the transplant he needed in time. He has had no health problems since then and Ashton has been working on a campaign to encourage others to donate their organs and tissues to those in need.

He Was Married To Demi Moore For 6 Years

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were married back in 2005 and divorced in 2013. Moore recently wrote a memoir where she lays out the reasons behind their failed marriage, as things grew pretty brutal.

She described threesomes the couples partook in and other infidelities, as well as a miscarriage she had after six months. Moore described her spiral into alcohol and drug use following this event, and it is not hard to see why this couple eventually split.

Ashton Has 2 Children With Mila Kunis

Ashton Kutcher met Mila Kunis when they were on That '70s Show and they married in 2015. They have had two children together who are now five and three-years-old. He has created a perfect family following a messy divorce, and we couldn't be happier for the pair.

They have both stated how they felt nothing for each other when they were on the show and it wasn't until years later when they felt a connection. The pair have discussed how they don't plan to leave trust funds for their children, wanting them to make their own path in the world, as they did.

He Owned A Restaurant In L.A. Called 'Dolce Enoteca e Ristorante'

Kutcher opened a restaurant called Dolce Enoteca e Ristorante, but it closed back in 2012. He owned it with Wilmer Valderrama and they opened this venue in Los Angeles. It was supposed to be an intimate Italian experience, but many customers were not impressed with the high prices of the food and the taste. Several stars would come and eat there to support Kutcher's endeavors, although, it ended up being a bust in the end.

Kutcher Has Syndactyly

Ashton has something called syndactyly, which is a condition that gives him slightly webbed toes. He has shown this foot flaw several times on different shows and it is something that happens during fetal development.

There is nothing you can do to prevent it and the only issue comes into play if the bones are connected in the foot as well. It doesn't affect his life in any way, except now he has something to show off during parties or other group events.

He Created The First Twitter Account To Reach 1 Million Followers

Twitter was created back in 2006, and it took three years for anyone to reach 1 million followers. Kutcher was the first one to reach this follower count and it is quite an impressive stat.

He beat out major news agencies like CNN and other big actors. He now he rests at about 18 million followers. Kutcher is constantly tweeting about important issues, upcoming projects, and daily events in his life. He focuses on real-world issues that affect people on an international level, and many of those he supports are women.

Ashton Worked Several Jobs Before Acting

Many actors and actresses have performed normal jobs before they entered the entertainment industry, and Kutcher is no different. He has held jobs as a janitor, butcher, and factory worker.

There was even a time in college when he donated blood for money because he was completely broke. He expects to relay this lifestyle on his children as he encourages them to work for their future and be resourceful themselves as they uncover a path that they pave for themselves.

He Is A Chicago Bears Fan

We all have our own favorite sports team, and Kutcher is a big supporter of the Chicago Bears. He has always loved them, even though he grew up in Iowa. Kutcher does his best to attend the games and publicly supports them over his social media feeds.

We wonder how he feels about this recent season as their offense seemed to crumble. There is little doubt that it changed Kutcher's stance on this team, but we do hope they improve next year for his sake.
