TMZ has posted a couple of photos of Ashton Kutcher dressed as late Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs for the upcoming biopic Jobs: Get Inspired. When I wrote about the casting for Slide to Play, I thought it was good fit. They have similar facial features and similar heights. It also helps that Kutcher is a savvy tech nerd. These photos, on the other hand, have me feeling lukewarm. Kutcher looks more like my friend Geoff Chapman than he does Steve Jobs.
Why would anyone purposely want to look like Geoff Chapman?!? What do you think of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs?
I don't think I'll watch this. I bought the bio and couldn't finish it. I stopped when Jobs and his then fiancé were looking at invitations/announcements and he (very predictably) instructed his fiancé to have the vendor leave since it was all ugly or whatever. At that point I decided that his private life should remain that since it sullies the story of him running his company.
Note: Kutcher's movie isn't based on Isaacson's book. The Isaacson adaptation (being penned by Aaron Sorkin) is a different film.
Maybe we are being punk'd?
