Former model Ashton Kutcher made his acting breakthrough playing a lovable dolt on
That '70s Show. In danger of being typecast following another role as an airhead in the cult comedy
Dude, Where's My Car?, Kutcher set out to create his own opportunities with work behind the camera, most notably by producing the hit reality shows
Punk'd and
Beauty and the Geek. In 2003, Kutcher became a frequent subject of tabloid fodder when he and Demi Moore, 15 years his senior, announced their relationship. The pair later married at the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles in 2005. Kutcher continued to branch out off the screen by investing in LA hot spots Dolce and the Geisha House. In 2009, he made his mark in cyberspace by becoming the first Twitter user with over 1 million followers.
