Christopher Enough was born on February 7th, 1978 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He lived on a farm with his parents, older sister Tausha and fraternal twin brother. His twin brother, Michael, followed about five minutes later. His parents, Larry and Diane, divorced when Ashton was thirteen years old. It was around this same time that his brother had to undergo heart transplant surgery, which went smoothly. Still, the medical emergency impacted Ashton's life, and he later enrolled in the University of Iowa, where he studied biochemical engineering in hopes of finding some way to help people with cardiomyopathy, the disorder his brother suffered from.

To finance the cost of his, Kutcher worked as a cereal dust sweeper at the General Mills plant in Cedar Rapids. After being discovered by a local model/talent scout, he moved to New York in 1997 to pursue acting. Kutcher's determination landed him roles in a National Pizza Hut commercial, an NYU student film entitled Distance, and a Calvin Klein Jeans campaign.

When Ashton was fifteen, his mother moved her family, along with her soon to be second-husband, to Homestead, Iowa - a relatively small farming community. While in high school, Ashton excelled at sports, but also developed a keen interest in theatre - making his debut in a 7th grade production of "The Crying Princess and the Golden Goose."

However, for the time being acting was only a hobby, and he was focused enough on his studies to gain entry into the University of Iowa's biochemical engineering program. It was while studying at that institution that an agent discovered him in 1997. He was spotted at a restaurant and the agent suggested he enter a modeling contest called Fresh Faces of Iowa. Ashton ended up winning the competition, and earned himself a trip to New York to compete in an International Model and Talent Agency competition. He was quickly signed to an exclusive agency, and ended up traveling the world doing photo shoots and runway shows. Ashton landed some very good gigs, including Versace, and Calvin Klein.

In 1998, he decided to spread his wings some more and went on the audition circuit. One of the first shows he tried out for was That 70's Show, and he was lucky enough to get a very big early break. Not one to rest on his laurels, Ashton took steps to make the jump to the big screen. He quickly landed roles in the teen romantic comedy, Down to You, the Ben Affleckaction flick Reindeer Games and the modern western Texas Rangers, starring James Van Der Beek. Still young, Ashton has already managed to make an impact in the mediums of print, television and film.

Kutcher, who divides his time between New York and Los Angeles, is dating actress Demi Moore almost 16 years his senior since 2003. On January 23, 2004 he went head to head with his "That 70s Show" co-star Topher Graceat the box office as "The Butterfly Effect" starring Kutcher and "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton" both opened against one another. "The Butterfly Effect" won the race coming in at the #1spot, while "Tad Hamilton" came in at #3 just after "Along Came Polly".
