LOS ANGELES — The biopic "Jobs" opens Friday and the reviews are mixed. Some say it's bland and uninspiring, while others are calling it compelling and insightful. Regardless of the reviews, however, just about everyone is curious how well Ashton Kutcher plays Steve Jobs.
While we need to wait until this weekend to see how Kutcher does one thing is for sure, he's doing everything he can to play the part.
Jobs was known for powerful and deep speeches and that's exactly what Kutcher delivered at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards.
Kutcher received the Ultimate Choice award at the ceremony, I've looked it up and still don't really know what the Ultimate Choice award is, but regardless, he received it. When Kutcher accepted the award he gave a speech that caught just about everyone off guard. It was poignant and honest, something our youth needs.
Kutcher first thanked his fans and credited them for his success and even told them he felt like a fraud.
"My name is not even actually Ashton. Ashton is my middle name. My first name's Chris."
Kutcher went onto talk about three points: Opportunity, being sexy and living life.
He explained that opportunity is really work; true sexiness is being smart and that you should build a life not live one.
His thoughts were deep and insightful and it seemed to catch the audience a little off guard. While cat calls and "I love you's" continued throughout the speech they became less frequent as many caught onto the fact that Kutcher was making a departure from his "Punk'd" and "That 70's Show" persona and donned a "Jobsian" one for an honest and genuine moment.
What did you think of Kutcher's words? Do you believe he was being sincere? Has your view of him changed at all? Let us know on the comment boards, Facebook or send me an email.
