How Ashton Kutcher Rebranded Himself From Playboy to Family Man

He's come a long way from his Von Dutch days.

Ashton Kutcher is celebrating his 40th birthday today, yet another hard-to-believe reminder it's been nearly two decades since the That '70s Show donned their first pair of bell bottoms together. But since starring alongside his TV sweetheart turned IRL-wife Mila Kunis and the rest of the gang, Kutcher has made the quite transition from Hollywood playboy to wildly successful actor-entrepreneur and dedicated father. 

Even when he replaced Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, that was practically a side gig, he had so much going on. The tech junkie has gone on to invest in (and launch) a number of well-known startups, co-found an international human rights organization and was even tapped to become a product engineer for Lenovo

As for his personal life, Ashton isn't doing half bad either. Prior to tying the knot with his former co-star, the lovebirds welcomed their first daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, on Oct. 1, 2014. Their son, Dimitri Portwood, wasn't far behind, arriving in November 2016.

But if you're still skeptical as to how Ashton really shed his Dude Where's My Car image after all those years, check out the proof right here:
