In a rare and touching show of public support, Ashton Kutcher has spoken openly about his admiration for his ex-wife, Demi Moore. During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kutcher praised Moore’s powerhouse performance in the body-horror hit The Substance. Despite their highly publicized split years ago, Kutcher’s words prove that respect remains the final word in their story. The actor didn’t just offer a polite nod; he celebrated Moore’s “extraordinary” success as she continues her impressive career renaissance.
Ashton Kutcher says Demi Moore ‘killed it’ with her role in ‘The Substance’
Kutcher was incredibly direct when asked about Moore’s recent accolades. “Demi’s performance in The Substance, obviously, she got extraordinary accolades. I’m so proud of her,” he shared. He summed it up simply: “She killed it,” he said.
Beyond the praise, Kutcher reflected on how the film’s themes of beauty and aging mirror real life. He noted how much society has changed in the last 20 years. He finds it “weird” how common cosmetic enhancement has become. He remembers a time when things were much stricter.
“It used to be like braces on your teeth were the only acceptable cosmetic enhancement,” he remarked. Back then, anything else was judged harshly. Now, he sees a shift toward social acceptance. He believes people are increasingly prioritizing personal happiness over the “aesthetic outcome.”
Kutcher pointed out that if a procedure makes someone feel happy, that is what truly matters. He called this a “gradual adjustment of societal norms.” His comments come at an interesting time, as his own new project, The Beauty, also explores the obsession with physical perfection.
The bond between the former couple clearly remains strong. Kutcher has long maintained a “no badness” policy regarding Moore and her daughters. By celebrating her “extraordinary” work, he shows that their friendship has evolved into something lasting and respectful. In a town known for messy breakups, this rare comment is a breath of fresh air.
