Privacy is valuable – Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher learned to value his privacy "the hard way".
The Two and a Half Men actor is desperate to keep his new romance with former That ’70s Show co-star Mila Kunis private following his high-profile marriage to, and split from, actress Demi Moore.
In an interview with Elle magazine, the actor said: "You know, I’ve learned the hard way how valuable privacy is. And I’ve learned that there are a lot of things in your life that really benefit from being private. And relationships are one of them. And I am going to do everything in my power to have this relationship be private."
The 35-year-old star met Mila, 29, on the set of the hit sitcom – which ran from 1998 to 2006 – in which they played love interests, but their real-life relationship didn’t blossom until last year following his split from the Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle actress.
Quizzed about their transition from co-stars to couple, he responded: "People will fill in the blanks however they want."
Ashton, who joined Two and a Half Men in 2011 following Charlie Sheen’s departure from the show amidst a public feud with creator Chuck Lorre, added that people perceive him to be a demanding Hollywood star but he insists he’s really "just a geek".
Speaking on his initial meeting with Chuck, he said: "There was an impression that I was this sort of larger-than-life, with-a-posse kind of guy. After we met and hung out, he realised I was just a geek."
