Ashton Kutcher On His Superman Audition!

Ashton Kutcher On His Superman Audition!

"I wore the Superman suit," the actor told MTV News. "I did a screentest in the Superman suit. There is footage of my audition out there, with Keri Russell, who was reading Lois Lane. There's me in a Clark Kent outfit, and then there's me in a Superman outfit."

"It did not feel right," he admitted. "I hadn't worked out or done anything right...I was like a rail with fake muscles. It looked funny."

"I don't think I could be a superhero that was in tights. I could play He-Man. Given the time to get myself in shape, I could play He-Man. By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!"

JoshW: Well, I'm not sure about you guys but I cant stand this idiot! God knows who thought it was a good idea to let him try out for the role of Superman but that's Hollywood for you I guess! Have your say about Kutcher playing the Man Of Steel in the usual place!

GAH! Not He-Man! I care about that property! I mean, I appreciate that he's apparently a fan, but I don't see that working out.

He's a truly appalling actor. But, kind of seems like an ok bloke. You have to admit, some of his Punks were funny!

I think he auditioned for it back in 2003 or 2004.. around that time.

It's sarcasm... He's not being serious

I always thought he could play Yorick Brown in a Y: The Last Man. He or his That 70's Show co-star Topher Grace...

I liked the idea of Shia Labeouf as Yorick! I'm sure people hate that suggestion, but it is what it is.

I didn't feel right, because it isn't right! Kutcher as Supe... I can't believe they even screen tested him for the part. *shivers at the thought*

@ canadianturd

He would have done well... I also think they could pull it off. I thought Ashton's thin body and goofy personality would work. The same with Topher.... You mos def need someone that would look like a woman when covered up like Yorick....

peterparker420 - 6/15/2010, 1:23 PM
LMAO! I think he sould stick to being in comedies..he is
funny..but not superhero..funny..not even FLASH funny,
It wouldn't work (IMO)

The cool thing is he gets to bang Demi Moore..who is still HOT for being 50!! XP

MTL, thats performance in Butterfly Effect was one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen. I watched it through my fingers for sheer cringe factor. I actually thought he may look at the camera at some point.

He comes across as a decent enough guy but seeing him act is an excruciating experience, lol! Punk'd was a pretty fun show though - I'd be alright with him going back to doing something like that! As for Superman or any other comic book character...NO. :P

Maybe he could play Ralph Denby, the Elongated Man, but anyone with "super" in his name...not so much.
