 He notes that the experience of the film left him with a deeper understanding of the real-life heroics that went with being in the U.S. Coast Guard. “To find people as tough as these guys are, but that have as big of hearts and that are as generous with themselves and sort of self-sacrificial in a way…That’s the amazing thing,” Ashton explains, “They talk about some of the cases that they’ve gone out on and the people that they had to leave behind. They are really emotionally connected people and the dichotomy of that is special.” Kutcher claimed that part of the reason he chose to play the role of Jake Fischer was to define the true meaning of what it means to be a hero. “I think real heroes are really hard to find,” he notes, “For these guys, it’s just going to work. It’s noble to watch somebody that can just go do their job and be so heroic and not even know that what it is that they’re doing is great. These guys put their lives on the line when they go out for a complete stranger. Most people wouldn’t put their life on the line for a friend. These guys do it without hesitation.” In an obviously sobering film like this one, Ashton Kutcher had no desire to resort to the antics of his master-of-ceremonies image he had cultivated on MTV as the king of all pranksters. “Generally, my rule is while I’m working with somebody, I won’t punk them,” he states, “Just because you have to really be able to trust the person you’re standing across from. This movie, especially, because there were some really dangerous things that we’re doing. I never want to cry wolf in that situation and then not have somebody there when its really hair and we’re hanging eighty feet from a cable with concrete and rerot.” As Ashton Kutcher continues to push the boundaries of people’s perceptions of Ashton Kutcher the actor, rather than Ashton Kutcher the goofball celebrity, he does mention a keen desire to broaden his creative palette. But like everything else in a career perceived by the general public to be light, Kutcher says it would not be a decision he’d take as such. “I’m interested in directing something,” he mentions, “Whenever I take a movie as an actor, especially if I did as a director, whoever put up the money for it, I immediately go, ‘My job is to make that money back for you, because you’re investing in me.’ I have a ridiculous fear of failure.” Until then, Ashton Kutcher is content with showing the public and the film community the full potential of his talent. Just don’t expect him to grow too complacent with doing more dramatic roles. “By the time I finished the movie, I go, ‘Yeah, I’m comfortable doing this. I can do this again,’” Ashton says, “But I wouldn’t do it again for that very reason, because it’s comfortable, so ... |
