Born of Irish and Native American descent on February 7, 1978, Christopher Ashton Kutcher grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Later, Kutcher reportedly worked his way through a variety of odd jobs while attending college at the University of Iowa studying biochemical engineering.

Subsequently entering - and winning - the Fresh Faces of Iowa contest in 1997, he dropped out of college to persue a professional modeling career in New York, eventually working for designers such as Versace and Calvin Klein.

The following year, Kutcher moved to Los Angeles and soon appeared in his breakthrough role on That 70s Show while appearing in minor movie roles in such films as Down to You and Reindeer Games.

His major movie breakthrough finally came with a starring role in Dude, Where's My Car? in 2000 with fellow actor and babe magnet, actor Seann William Scott.

To the delight of millions of female fans worldwide, Ashton Kutcher has since been typecast as the ditsy hunk in a string of movie comedy hits, with occasional forays into serious roles in dramas such as Texas Rangers in 2001 and in The Butterfly Effect in 2004.

Meanwhile, 2003 turned out to be a banner year for the handsome young actor, appearing in such popular comedy film performances as My Boss's Daughter alongside Tara Reid, and in Just Married co-starring then girlfriend, Brittany Murphy, ending the year with a minor role in Cheaper by the Dozen, starring Steve Martin.

He also enjoyed phenomenal success with his MTV prank show, Punk'd, and in 2005 was back on the silver screen in A Lot Like Love and Guess Who.

27-year-old Kucher was also making non-stop tabloid headlines romancing 42-year old actress Demi Moore. The couple were finally wed in a ceremony in Beverly Hills in October 2005.

It was the first walk down the aisle for Kutcher, who dated actress Brittany Murphy before he began dating Moore in early 2003. (It was the third marriage for Moore, who separated from her second husband, actor Bruce Willis, in 1998.)

Kutcher's last major appearance on the big screen was as co-star alongside actor Kevin Costner in the film, The Guardian in 2006. He has since turned his talents as TV producer of the hit comedy series Miss Guided.

Back on the big screen in 2008, Ashton Kutcher next appears in the comedy romance What Happens in Vegas co-starring with Cameron Diaz, video outtakes from which went viral on the Web in April 2008, depicting both stars drunk while engaged in a movie scene shot within a Vegas wedding chapel.
