On Friday, we got to see the first clip from jOBS, starring Josh Gad as Steve Wozniak and Ashton Kutcher as Kelso Jobs, the team who founded Apple Computers in Eric Foreman’s Wisconsin basement. The clip had the town all a-buzz, with people who saw it raving, “We never had such interaction and roles” and “Our relationship was so different than what was portrayed.”
Okay, so that was just what Steve Wozniak said about it. Nonetheless, “jOBS” is probably going to be super good, because, Ashton Kutcher has been method acting so hard that he hurt himself, as he told USA Today recently.
Kutcher says that he started a fruit-only diet to prepare to play the Apple co-founder for the biopic Jobs, which premiered Friday night at the Sundance Film Festival.
The diet, which the film claims Jobs adhered to, ended up sending Kutcher to the hospital with pancreas problems.
“First of all, the fruitarian diet can lead to like severe issues,” Kutcher said after the film’s screening. “I went to the hospital like two days before we started shooting the movie. I was like doubled over in pain.
“My pancreas levels were completely out of whack,” Kutcher added. “It was really terrifying … considering everything.”
Jobs died of pancreatic cancer on Oct. 5, 2011.
If Ashton Kutcher isn’t a total idiot, the guy who transcribed that quote sure wants us to think he is. “Bro, my heart stuff was like, all like messed up!” “Your heart stuff? Wait, you mean your blood?”
This just goes to show you once again, method acting can be dangerous for those who only dabble. Remember when Jared Leto almost ruined his kidneys gaining 60 pounds to play Mark David Chapman? It’s not safe. You could hurt yourself and others. Leave the method acting to the pros, like Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel Day-Lewis would’ve given himself pancreatic cancer to play Steve Jobs and cured it by playing an oncologist. A true method actor knows that method acting is about tricking yourself into believing things you know aren’t true in order to tell the truth when you’re lying.



It also helps that Daniel Day-Lewis can actually act.
This has made-for-Lifetime written all over it.
Maybe Kootch is just method acting for his role as Kelso still. I mean he’s an idiot, he started dating mila kunis, he’s an idiot, and he’s an idiot.
At first he tried “Rhythm Method Acting” but he never did get his period or that little brother he’s been dreaming of.
I’d rather like die from like pancreatic cancer than watch this.
That’s pushing it. I think I’d rather see a shitty movie than be eaten from the bottom up inside. Or at least maybe get acid in the face, that’d be topical.
Quetzcoatal Hushpuppy method acted the shit out of Beasts of the Southern Wild. Before filming started she was a white guy.
But the real idiot in all this will be the rest of the world when Kutcher releases a statement to the press saying he acts, sleeps and eats only APPLE
Why do people hire Ashton Kutcher? I mean, does he actually have fans? Is he incredibly charming in casting sessions? Does he blow anyone with the word “producer” written on the back of their chair? How does he keep getting work?
… Demi used to pimp him out, didn’t she? They would go to parties, and people would slip her C-notes for ten minutes in the bathroom with him, and that’s how she paid for all the plastic surgery.
This.
Laurence Olivier was right when he said “try acting, dear boy” to Dustin Hoffman. I mean look, he’s playing a better Steve Jobs right now than Kutcher and he’s barely trying.
/Method acting…pppfffhhh
I can only believe that the “dumb Kelso” is an act, because Kutcher has a degree in chemical engineering from the university of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I know, I was flabbergasted when I found out, too.
What did he chemically design-beer funnels and bongs?
No, edible underpants.
I heard he just engineered tickets to a Chemical Brothers concert.
Most of the biggest morons I know have advanced degrees.
Ashton Kutcher’s acting method made me hurt myself.
Given the demographics of the fruit picking industry, I guess the Mexicans really did take our Jobs.
Don’t you mean jOBS?
“What’s this movie about again?”
“Well, Ashton, it’s about the founder of Apple-”
“Got it!”
*eats barrel full of apples*
Kutcher researched his role by asking, “Like, who is Steve Jobs, or whatever?”
I’d enjoy the implication of “Ashton Kutcher on an all-fruit diet” better if the movie was called blowjOBS.
Is “pancreas levels” a thing?
Because when I read that all I could think was that they found more than one….um….pancreaii.
