Ashton Kutcher is quietly preparing what some in his circle believe could be the biggest professional reset of his career. After years of reduced public visibility, the actor is said to be eyeing a return to Hollywood with a strong desire to rebuild his once-dominant reputation.
Ashton Kutcher thinks he’ll never be ‘accepted’ again, claims source
Ashton Kutcher, 47, was once a constant presence on red carpets, sitcom screens, and studio call sheets. But in recent years, he has kept an unusually low profile. He has attended only a few public events while focusing more on his tech investments and business ventures.
Now, a Daily Mail report says Kutcher hopes his role in Ryan Murphy’s “The Beauty” will jump-start his long-awaited comeback. The insider claims Kutcher is “pinning all his hopes” on the project, believing it may help reintroduce him to an industry that once embraced him with ease. In the series, he reportedly plays a high-powered billionaire. In fact, Kutcher has already begun teasing the role during early promotional appearances, including a Q&A panel at Comic Con.
The actor’s social media activity also reflects that shift in momentum. After months of silence on Instagram, Kutcher has begun sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of the new show. Yet even with this tentative return, some comments suggest that portions of the public have not forgotten past controversies. As such, the insider says Kutcher is acutely aware of that reality.
According to the source, Kutcher has privately wondered whether “he’ll ever be accepted” by audiences again. “He isn’t the teen heartthrob anymore,” another insider claimed.
Still, those close to Kutcher say he is determined to “redeem himself.” The actor reportedly hopes “The Beauty” will remind viewers of the solid television work that defined much of his early success. Another source described the Murphy series as a “comeback story” and suggested that, if well received, it could mark the beginning of a genuine resurgence.
