Mila Kunis is there forAshton Kutcher— mustache and all!
During an appearance onJimmy Kimmel LiveThursday with guest hostDavid Alan Grier, theWhatHappensinVegasstar, 44, opened up about his facial hair transformation for his latest movieVengeance.
In the movie, Kutcher’s character, rural Texas music producer Quentin Sellers, has a pencil-thin mustache. “This character, when I first saw it, I was like, ‘This is interesting.’ He kinda had this Boss Hog vibe to him,” Kutcher recalled, remembering such “bad guys” with thin mustaches inCannonball RunandSmokey and the Bandit. “I was like, ‘Alright, I think this guy has got, like, this air of sophistication.’ "
“Then my wife had to deal with it and that was all fun,” Kutcher said of Kunis, 38.

As for the movie itself, Vengeance marksBJ Novak’s first time as star and director. “BJ had this amazing screenplay that he wrote and he came to me and he was like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna direct this thing, this is going to be my directorial debut and there’s a role I want you to play,'” Kutcher said.
After reading the script, Kutcher was impressed and agreed to join the project. He added, “It was one of the best scripts I’ve read in like a decade because I think it captured exactly where America is right now.”
Kutcher also explained the movie in his own words: “It’s about a New York podcaster that goes to southwest Texas to basically prove to everybody how dumb they are and he gets a lesson along the way.” The actor said the movie is “beautiful, but very funny.”
Besides Vengeance, Kutcher has another long-awaited project coming out soon: Netflix’s spin-off show ofThat ’70s Show—That ’90s Show.
The actor starred onThat ’70s Showfrom 1998 to 2006 alongside Kunis,Topher Grace,Laura Prepon,Wilmer Valderrama,Danny Masterson, Debra Jo Rupp, Kurtwood Smith,Tanya Roberts, Don Stark,Lisa Robin KellyandTommy Chong.

During a previousVengeancered carpet, Kutcher shared that he and Kunis sat down for a conversation before they signed on to revisit their characters.
“Mila and I were contemplating it,” he toldVariety. “We thought, ‘Listen, we’re only in the position that we’re in because of that show, so let’s just go back and do this. We just went back and had fun for a week. It was so random and fun.'”
