Ashton Kutcher explained the ‘crazy’ incident that forced him to stop using marijuana.
The That ‘70s Show star once seemed to be everywhere, consistently in the Hollywood limelight with both his films and personal life.
But nowadays, it seems to be a little quieter for Kutcher – despite it regularly doing the rounds that Sharon Osbourne claimed he was the rudest celebrity she ever met.
And while he might have been known for enjoying a wild night out, he previously told Esquire magazine that he’d been clean for ten years.

His alleged use of weed in his younger days was once splashed across the tabloids, but one singular incident with his wife, Mila Kunis, led to him giving it up when he woke up the next day.
It all came down to one little THC mint – these are little cannabis tablets that are infused with tetrahydrocannabinol, typically used to help people relax.
Kutcher was at a friend’s wedding in Italy when he took one and, well, ‘that sh*t did not go well’.
The actor had not long since had a vasectomy and when the high hit him, he was suddenly convinced he’d lost all feeling below the waist and began to panic.
Kutcher was desperate to get back to his room but had no idea where it was, so he had Kunis show him. But things just got worse.
Once he got into bed, the Hollywood star started during some pretty bad maths and became convinced they were going broke.
“We can’t even afford to be here right now!” he remembers thinking.
But the next day, Kutcher soon realised he ‘had moved the decimal point’.
So, with that bizarre experience, that marked the end of his relationship with weed.
And to help him get through ever missing it, he’s got the punchline he’s proud of to pick him back up: “The minute weed became legal in California, I got banned from doing it.”
Kutcher and Kunis have been married since 2015 and share two kids together. Despite what he thought that mad night, it’s fair to say the pair have quite the load in the bank.
It’s reported that their combined net worth is a whopping $275million (£216million).
However, they don’t plan on leaving their inheritance to their kids and instead will give it away to charity.
In a conversation with actor Dax Shepard on his podcast Armchair Expert, Kutcher said: "My kids are living a really privileged life, and they don't even know it.
"And they'll never know it because this is the only one that they'll know.
"I'm not setting up a trust for them. We'll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things."
