He seems to have some sort of delusions of grandeur as if having facial features like Jobs makes them kindred spirits.

"The actor and the entrepreneur had personal similarities, Kutcher said. "We both have a ravenous interest in the tech space."

"He's a guy that failed and got back on the horse," said Kutcher. "I think we can all sort of relate to that in some place in our life where we are moving forward with something and we fall down. You have to have the guts to get back up and go again. I think I share that as well."

"Kutcher, 34, has said he considers Jobs his most personal film to date."

He said: "He believes the role was meant for him," and will "prove to the world that this is the right part for him."

"The physical resemblance is actually scary, but he himself connects with this man in a very significant way. Of course he's a big techie. He has a personal affinity to what Steve Jobs accomplished.
Ashton is a much more intense individual than a lot of his current roles represent. We are feeling convinced that he's gonna nail this."

So now with the Pancreas trouble, he's practically Steve reincarnate.

He's got that RDF nailed down at least.

It seems like this is just an attempt to drum up publicity for the movie but either way, it's in very poor taste. Steve died from cancer, not from eating too much fruit.

Interesting to say the least

But didnt Jobs say on record that he ate more than just fruit? I could be wrong.

File under schadenfreude but this is the first time I've been happy about Kutcher taking this role.

 

Yep. He loved sushi, for example. But for a time in the '70s, that's all he tried to do. Emphasis on 'tried'.

 

Hopefully Kutcher wasn't stupid enough to emulate Jobs' attempt at not showering, but since he WAS stupid enough to do this...

Do you know that the Japanese are about 40 years away from running out of fish? I know I know, citation needed. I saw it on a documentary. Can't remember the name of it.

Pancreas level? Um, what? (Stares blankly) Is that a thing?

"Pancreas level" sounds like something Dr. Nick Riviera would say.

 

Kutcher speaks as if he was like, some teenage girl who like, was texting someone.

I call BS until I see some hospital paperwork

God, this movie is gonna s u c k

Haha! Kelso, you = no Steve Jobs. Shouldn'ta quit your day job: being Demi Moore's mid-life crisis toy.
