Ashton Kutcher Shares His Perfect Family Night In With Mila Kunis

“I was in Iowa,” he explained. “I thought like, ‘Okay, if I’m gonna be an actor, I’m gonna be working in the theater, in the community theater, and it will be a hobby.’ To think that I could actually make a living off of it was inconceivable.”

But it was thanks to one of his favorite TV characters that the star kept his dreams alive. “On my wall in my house, when I was a kid, was a poster of Kirk Cameron, ’cause I thought Mike Seaver was the coolest guy on the planet,” Ashton stated. “I was a Growing Pains fan, and the idea of playing a Mike Seaver-type character in a sitcom, to me, was like, ‘That’s the pinnacle.'”

And to think, if he had never become an actor, he would have never met Mila on the set of That ’70s Show.
