Ashton Kutcher’s New Series and a Nostalgic Praise for Demi Moore
Ashton Kutcher is currently in the spotlight, promoting his new series, The Beauty. During various interviews, he has shared insights into both his professional and personal life. One of the most notable moments came when he spoke highly of his ex-wife, Demi Moore, for her performance in the Oscar-nominated film The Substance.
Kutcher and Moore were married from 2005 to 2013, a six-year relationship that ended in divorce. Despite their split, Kutcher has consistently expressed admiration for Moore’s work. In a recent conversation, he highlighted the similarities between his show and Moore’s film. He praised her, saying, “Demi’s performance in The Substance—obviously, she got extraordinary accolades.” The 47-year-old actor added, “I’m so proud of her. She killed it.”
A Look Back at Their Relationship
Moore was previously married to Bruce Willis, with whom she shares three daughters. After her divorce from Kutcher, she married Mila Kunis in 2015. Meanwhile, Kutcher, after his split from Moore, reflected on his feelings of loneliness in 2018 during an appearance on Armchair Expert. He revealed that he spent seven days alone in Big Sky, Montana, without food or drink, only water and tea. He took all his electronic devices with him, choosing to be completely disconnected for a week. “I had a notepad, a pen, and water and tea—for a week,” he said.
Demi Moore’s Reflections on Her Divorce
In 2019, Moore opened up about her divorce from Kutcher for the first time on Good Morning America. She admitted, “I lost myself.” She continued, “If I were to look back, I would say I blinded myself, and I lost myself.”
The Substance: A Film That Made History
Moore’s role in The Substance was groundbreaking. She portrayed Elisabeth Sparkle, a once-famous starlet who begins injecting herself with a mysterious serum to look younger. Her performance earned her first-ever Oscar nomination, though she ultimately lost to Mikey Madison for her role in Anora.
The Beauty: A New Show with a Similar Theme
Ashton’s new series, The Beauty, also explores themes related to cosmetic surgery. In the show, he plays a tech billionaire whose company develops a miracle drug with unexpected consequences. When asked about the similarities between his show and The Substance, Kutcher noted, “I think the bigger context, though, is we’re in a society where cosmetic enhancement is becoming increasingly predominant and accepted.”
He also mentioned that the executive producer, Ryan, wanted to explore the idea that “beauty is very different” for every character in the show. “When they go through the transformation, it could be an entirely abnormal thing for someone, but for that person, that is the outcome.”
Upcoming Premiere
The Beauty is set to premiere on FX on Wednesday, January 21. With its thought-provoking storyline and powerful performances, the show promises to spark conversations about beauty, identity, and the lengths people go to achieve their ideal self.
