Check Out Ashton Kutcher In Character as Steve Jobs
We'll bring you clearer photographs as they become available

Ever since Steve Jobs passed away, Hollywood has seemed intent on cashing in on -- er, immortalizing -- the man on film. Like Johnny Cash, Howard Hughes, Che Guevara and Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace before him, Steve Jobs would get his own biopic.Or two, as it turns out. First and foremost, there's Sony's "Steve Jobs," based on the eponymous, best-selling biography of the man written by Walter Isaacson. Then there's "Jobs," about the Apple co-founder's younger days; a film that seemingly exists only because someone noticed that its star, Ashton Kutcher, looks eerily like the man, circa 1984. (See attached photo.)
Never mind that the younger Jobs never wore the iconic turtleneck and jeans. We can only hope that Kutcher's outfit is simply indicative of his "method" approach to getting into character. (Because Kutcher is surely a student of Constantin Stanislavsky, right? We can only assume as much, having never seen "That 70's Show" or "Punk'd." He was pretty good in "The Butterfly Effect" and those Nikon TV commercials, though...)
What do you think, Hitlisters? Does/will Ashton Kutcher make for a convincing Steve Jobs? If you had to see one Steve Jobs biopic, which would you see? And as for Kutcher's suspect facial hair, worry not, it's all legit:
Is that the man himself, or Kutcher in character? We can't even tell! Brilliant![via People]

Pauliegrip, ....Ashton and Demi didn't split on his account. Good god, the woman was drinking and doing god knows what else entirely to much to even know she had a husband. Come on... who takes photos of themself almost naked and posts them on twitter???? Hell, I would of been gone to!! You don't know what went on inside their home. This kind of behavior and activities that she was engaged in had to be very hard on him and the children. Like it or not, Ashton has done well for himself and I believe he will continue to do so. Don't be so hard on him.

you can attempt to replace a orginal with a wanna bee or you can put up and shut up and stop trying to be who you are not. if you are4 noy the actual person and are impersonating a legendary co-founder than take it up with the head cheese not hollywood. i hate wanna bees and you are either a somebody in life that makes the marger or a nothing and a nobody.people may say this or that but the truth is what it is.

The few post I have read were obviously written by people that don't have a clue. I grew up watching those idiot want to be comedians like Steve Martin, Robin Williams, and Tom Hanks that were no talent actors. I wonder what happened to them?
Yes I am being sarcastic.
Don't judge a book by it's cover. Watch the movie and try to consider publishing an "educated" opinion after the fact.

Hate to say it but ya... having known Steve since the late 70s... never occurred to me before, but I don't know Kutcher personally by any means and nothing he has done has ever brought me to notice the resemblance.
If you check out some fun old footage of Steve, you can see how Kutcher could pull it off... similar voice... we will have to see.

And no, its not Ashton Kutcher's audition, lol.
Now, taking a look, I have to admit that its pretty darn close.
A persona is harder to match than looks, though. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
It seems, reading over many of the comments, that there are a lot of people out in the world that seem to believe they "knew" Steve and what he was about, who really didn't. Steve was about making money. Period. No greater ideals than that. You've created a creature even he himself wouldn't be happy with in your imaginations.
