Steve Jobs, although he was a genius who of course made huge contributions to society, was also said to have been a mean, self-centered guy at times. Somehow Ashton Kutcher landed the role of portraying the late great Jobs, which seems to be based solely on their physical similarities since we know Ashton’s range as an actor is dumb and dumber. Anyway Ashton is said to be so “method” on set that he refuses to go out of character and regularly berates the crew.
A person working on the indie film, Jobs: Get Inspired tells Radar that [Ashton Kutcher] refuses to “come out of character” after the cameras stop rolling and that even during lunch he “doesn’t crack.”
“He’s not been nice to people on set. He’s been really mean to everyone, even when he’s off camera,” the source says — going on to claim that Ashton is taking the role so seriously that he won’t even let his rumored fling Mila Kunis on set because she’s a distraction and “he’ll break character.”
“I’ve heard that on Two and a Half Men Ashton is really cool and friendly, even to the extras, and a great guy — that he’s friendly with everyone and goofs around, but it’s been the polar opposite on this movie.”
The insider says that at first he didn’t understand why Ashton was being so terrible to people even when the cameras weren’t rolling, but he was quickly filled in.
“I didn’t understand when he started yelling at people. A PA had to explain to me that Ashton was insistent on staying in character at all times on set. I’m pretty sure this a whole new way of acting for him, it’s kind of bizarre.
“There was preparing for a scene the other day where he had to fire a bunch of people and he got himself really worked up. We were taking a break between filming and sitting around relaxing when Ashton walked past and screamed at us, “If you are just gonna sit in these fu**king cubicles like you’re at home you might as well stay at home.
“Everyone thought he was actually yelling at us to leave, we didn’t realize first of all that he was just ‘being in character.’
“When it came to shooting the actual scene though it played out completely differently. On camera he walks down the hallway and a guy asks ‘are you gonna fire us all?’ And he replies ‘probably’ and walks out. Maybe he decided the screaming option didn’t play so well!
“I think there’s a lot of pressure on Ashton so that’s why he’s being so meticulous about the part, and why he’s being so method. He wants to be taken seriously as an actor and sees this as his big chance.

Well maybe Ashton won’t let Mila on set because he wants his pick of the extras and thinks she’ll get in the way. It’s probably easier to blame it on his “rigorous” preparation for the part.
When Daniel Day Lewis goes method it’s believable and helps him fully get into character. When Ashton Kutcher refuses to step out of character it seems like an excuse to be an a**hole to everyone. I guess he’s got to do something to improve his acting range, though. May as well turn into a mean douchebag to everyone, since it’s such a stretch for Ashton to be a douche.
Where’s Ashton?

Aside from him using the method excuse to be a total douche, he really does look like a young Steve Jobs.
don’t care. he’s hot!
I’m sick and tired of the beatification of Steve Jobs. The guy was a certified jerk. He has made no known charitable contributions despite a 8.3 billion fortune. He even shut down Apple’s charitable contribution program in 1997 and never reinstated it, despite record profits.
Word. Plus Apple’s profit margins are so enormous that they could easily afford to manufacture their products in the USA, and still make lots of money.
Instead, Apple exploits overseas workers. Some of the examples of the abuses include working up to 80 hours overtime a week over and above a standard 60-hour week, 20 to 30 workers crammed into a 3-bedroom factory dorm, and poor safety conditions.
Steve Jobs had fantastic design sense and vision, but was a sh*tty human being.
That Where’s Waldo shirt in the last pic is hysterical.
my first thought I found Waldo lol
I don’t get the whole worshiping of Steve Jobs yeah he invented a lot of cool stuff but good lord he is not Ghandi! Ashton gets on my last nerve!
Ashton is trying hard to be Christian Bale but he’s just….not.
+1. Was Steve Jobs douchey in his younger days? I’d read about his jerk ways once Apple got huge but I wonder if he was like that in the early days. Ashton is clearly playing the young Steve Jobs who took acid and went to India.
Lol! that is exactly what I thought. He wants to replace Christian on our douche list so we will think about him the problem is he has always been on that list and with no “but he has talent” asterisk next to his name.
Steve Jobs was a total douche who didn’t wear deodorant, denied paternity of his child and this was before he was STEVE JOBS
Yeah, I’m sure Jobs had a few more facets than douchecanoe.
CB, did you ‘really’ just put Daniel Day Lewis’ name in the SAME paragraph with Ashenhaller Kutcher’s?!?!
that’s like comparing filet mignon to scrapple…i mean, come. on! 🙄
dumpster scrapple
that was some funny sh*t.
He’s always made my skin crawl. I’ve never seen the appeal of Ashton. Yuck!
+1
This is why I could never work in Hollywood. If some a-hole actor thought he could talk to me like i was a POS I’d give it back to him with interest.
Cool. The next time I’m being a bitch, I’m gonna say, “I’m not a bitch. I’m ‘method.’ You just don’t get me.”
That is too funny. I might have to do that also!
As the great Laurence Olivier once said to that over-hyped turn Dustin Hoffman who was also trying to get into ‘character’….
“My dear boy, why not just ACT”
I hate this punk ass no talent idiot. I hope one of the crew pisses in his food. Moron.
