Ashton Kutcher explained the ‘crazy’ incident that forced him to stop using marijuana.
The That ‘70s Show star once seemed to be everywhere, consistently in the Hollywood limelight with both his films and personal life.
But nowadays, it seems to be a little quieter for Kutcher – despite it regularly doing the rounds that Sharon Osbourne claimed he was the rudest celebrity she ever met.
And while he might have been known for enjoying a wild night out, he previously told Esquire magazine that he’d been clean for ten years.
His alleged use of weed in his younger days was once splashed across the tabloids, but one singular incident with his wife, Mila Kunis, led to him giving it up when he woke up the next day.

It all came down to one little THC mint – these are little cannabis tablets that are infused with tetrahydrocannabinol, typically used to help people relax.
Kutcher was at a friend’s wedding in Italy when he took one and, well, ‘that sh*t did not go well’.
The actor had not long since had a vasectomy and when the high hit him, he was suddenly convinced he’d lost all feeling below the waist and began to panic.
Kutcher was desperate to get back to his room but had no idea where it was, so he had Kunis show him. But things just got worse.
Once he got into bed, the Hollywood star started during some pretty bad maths and became convinced they were going broke.
“We can’t even afford to be here right now!” he remembers thinking.
But the next day, Kutcher soon realised he ‘had moved the decimal point’.
So, with that bizarre experience, that marked the end of his relationship with weed.
And to help him get through ever missing it, he’s got the punchline he’s proud of to pick him back up: “The minute weed became legal in California, I got banned from doing it.”

Kutcher and Kunis have been married since 2015 and share two kids together. Despite what he thought that mad night, it’s fair to say the pair have quite the load in the bank.
It’s reported that their combined net worth is a whopping $275million (£216million).
However, they don’t plan on leaving their inheritance to their kids and instead will give it away to charity.
In a conversation with actor Dax Shepard on his podcast Armchair Expert, Kutcher said: “My kids are living a really privileged life, and they don’t even know it.
“And they’ll never know it because this is the only one that they’ll know.
“I’m not setting up a trust for them. We’ll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things.”

Natalie Portman made a surprising admission after she starred in titles with both Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis before they got married.
The 43-year-old is known for her numerous roles in films such as V for Vendetta, Brothers and The Other Boleyn Girl among others, and while she also boasts an Academy award, she also boasts an even rarer feat.
She’s kissed two huge Hollywood actors, years before they tied the knot and started a family together. Quite the résumé for an actor, or anyone really.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are one of the rare success stories in Hollywood (fingers crossed), having met at the back-end of the 90s on Fox sitcom That 70s Show as part of the main cast, maintaining their friendship for years afterward.
Kutcher married actress Demi Moore in 2005, splitting up six years later, while Kunis held a relationship with former child star Macauley Culkin for nine years, announcing their split in 2011 as well.
However, the pair reconnected a year later and started dating, making it official in 2015 and going on to have two children while still being together as of 2024.
But back in 2011, the two starred in comedy movies tackling the same subject – friends with benefits.
Kutcher and Portman starred in No Strings Attached, while Kunis starred opposite Justin Timberlake in Friends with Benefits – but those aren’t all the connections between these actors, as in 2010, Portman starred in Black Swan with Kunis as well.

Not only that, but Portman (obviously) shared some heated moments with Kutcher in their film, while also carrying out a particularly steamy scene with his future wife in their 2010 ballet thriller.
The pair remain good friends, as Portman joked with Kutcher back in 2022 during a Peloton promo shoot that they made the same film around the same time, and that the three were basically all kissing due to what the roles required of them.
Kutcher said: “Wait, it’s also weird because my wife was shooting basically the same movie called Friends with Benefits.”
Portman pointed out: “And Mila and I had just shot Black Swan together right before. So we were all making out with each other.”
But it turns out that she went one step further, as the actress has also revealed which of the two was the better kisser, during an episode of talk show Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, in 2018.
The host spoke about how she worked closely with both actors, to which she said with a smile: “I kissed them both.”
But when asked who was better with their lips, she revealed: “Mila! I mean, obviously!”

Whatever you think of the scene between the superstar actresses, the film’s critical success resulted in Portman winning the Best Actress Award at the Oscars that year.
Despite being in a number of steamy scenes though, Kunis has refused to do any nude scenes, to the point where a butt double was hired for her scene with Timberlake in Friends With Benefits.
Kunis also previously spoke up for gender equality in Hollywood in an open letter in 2016, even revealing that a director said her career would fail if she didn’t take her clothes off for promotional material for an unnamed film.
She defied him on all counts, standing her ground and going on to have an incredibly successful career.
