Ashton Kutcher, who recently bought a club, says his looks have helped him get roles, but they’ve also cost him jobs.
Speaking Saturday at New York Comic Con, the 47-year-old actor told the crowd he’s been passed over for characters that don’t fit his appearance.
Kutcher, who once admitted he was “in a dream” with his ex, Brittney Murphy, appeared on a panel for FX’s upcoming series The Beauty, moderated by series co-creator Ryan Murphy.
“I think every role you get, part of it is what you look like, right? It’s a very big part of what you’re imbuing as the character,” Kutcher said.
“And so, there are roles that I’ve gotten because of the way I look and there are roles that I haven’t gotten because of the way I look.”
“Almost every one of us has an incredibly nuanced role where, in some way, shape or form, we’re playing something that we are or we aren’t at any given time,” he said.
“It creates this underlying ability to embody insecurities that you may have, that you hide away and you push down, and you don’t let anyone in the world see it.”
Kutcher credited Murphy with giving him that space.
“So often today, you only get to play your lane and nothing else, because playing anything else goes against the values that society has projected upon what people should play and shouldn’t play,” he said.
“We get to play these complicated, nuanced characters. It’s a delight. Playing this character is one of the great delights of my career.”
