Ashton Kutcher has suddenly been thrust back into the spotlight with his new Two And A Half Men role, and Details sat down with the actor to chat both about the role and what's been keeping him occupied in recent years -- social media.Kutcher, once famous for having more Twitter followers than anyone, compared the social media phenomenon to God.
- Details: As a celebrity, you're used to managing the boundary between your public and private selves.
Kutcher: It's almost like a manifestation of God. People used to behave morally because they thought God was always watching—in some ways God today is the collective, and the collective is watching.
Kutcher also said he sees trouble for Twitter in the future -- read why, plus see what the actor said about his Two And A Half Men role and his relationship with Charlie Sheen -- after the jump!
- "I actually think Twitter has a greater danger of becoming Myspace-y. Myspace was this open platform, and Twitter has the same dynamic: You can have millions of people within your social network, so it goes outside your weak-tie relationships. There's a danger of it becoming spammy, and that's what really hurt Myspace."
As for Men, Kutcher said of his decision to join the CBS show (heading to film, right): "I've been flirting with going back to TV for a while. When this opportunity came up, I thought to myself, why not?"
As for his relationship with Charlie Sheen, who he replaced on the show:
- "I don't know him. I've never met him in my life. But, you know, he sent me congratulations and wished me well. Via Twitter."
