It would be so easy to be jaded about your twin brother being a huge celebrity, and on top of that, you being born with health challenges. But this man is living life and grateful for it, and now helping others. What a total legend and inspiration!!! What an exceptional person.
On the other hand, it's a bonus that if you're going to be born with the sh*t end of the stick, it's lucky his brother is a multi-millionaire AND a good guy!
But not jaded from jealousy Jaded from lack of privacy No one wants to be thrown into the spotlight like that especially someone with a disability I also have cerebral palsy so I know where he’s coming from When you have a noticeable disability you get one of two reactions out of people Relentless bullying or people who wanna baby you all the time and never take you seriously about anything like you’re a child No one wants to be treated that way disability or not 💯
Literally everyone, disabled or not, should be grateful to be alive every day. And for whatever we're disabled from doing, be grateful for what we're capable of instead.
My brothers(twins) were the same. One is a pro skateboarder, the other sadly died before he turned 14. He had severe cerebral palsy, but the biggest smile and so much heart. He still watches over me I can feel it
Twins who are physically different are more emotionally and psychologically similar. These two try to learn from every negative experience and find a way to help others who are going through the same. Amazing men.
Why ? I don’t understand that? All the twins in my family are identical and they can speak without even speaking to each other and just have the most incredible bond I’ve ever seen.. so why are you saying if they’re physically different they’re more connected?
Maybe it’s cause they are close..that they have similar ideas..what you’ve stated is not exactly true..twins don’t have to look/and or act similar emotionally.
That's because he's from Iowa. Where I live. So is Jason Momoa and he's the same. Well he's actually from Hawaii but lived here with his mom allot of his life n she still lives here.
The things Ashton does to make him so humble. He’s an amazing actor, has a charity against s3x trafficking, an amazing husband and father and brother, cheers to him.
@@Dopaminefeen We definitely need to campaign against add bombing, that's for sure. I wonder how many hours of my life I've wasted on adds. I've had ONE add work on me in my 37 years and it was for a dog tag 🤣
As a mother of twins, I get emotional seeing their bond. There is a special closeness with twins and it's an incredible blessing having a best friend to go throughout life with
I knew about his twin and that he had a "condition" but didn't know what it was, i could tell that Ashton really cared and loved his brother very much, and it made him more human and likeable in my eyes. I'm glad they share that bond and that they're willing to help others going through the same struggles together.
Some of us don’t give a hoot about these people and their private lives lol omg we want privacy unless we are selling something lol other wise we want our privacy to be groomers in private ugh celebs make me sick
I think “condition” is an accurate descriptor considering cerebral palsy is a combination of disorders. It’s not a disease. Let’s ignore the virtue signaler, lmao
I knew he had a twin. He always spoke of him and that he had a condition. You could see that he cares and loves him alot and his over protective of his brother
I've always thought Ashton was down 2 earth,always, this has probably always kept him humble, knowing how much his twin has went through. 2 very strong brothers🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏽
Ashton I am 82 and I have a Twin Brother and I listened to You and your twin brother on TV. I cried . I have been in a WC due to a accident fall Paralyzed in walking. My twin Brother was here to help me In anyway he could. God Bless you you’re wife and family for all the support you Gave to your brother. I loved 70 show I watched it All those years. I am happy you married that beautiful Women.You both are great Artist. God Bless. Sandra from Lebanon , OhiO😊
I had the privilege to meet Michael at a conference for caregivers sweetest person ever and so inspirational. As a person with special needs he gave me hope!
I knew Ashton had a twin but I never know he had a disability. Goes to show us that even celebrity's have lives out side of acting. God bless you three. Much love Chris, Michael and Mila. ❤
I remember a really long time ago when he came out about his twin brother, he talked about how he contemplated taking his own life in order to save his brothers. He's been one of my favorite actors since.. he's so under rated and he really cares and puts his efforts in the work he does!
One of my dearest friends in school had cerebal palsy, and he was such a trooper! It wasn't until a few years ago that he almost died because he had water in his lungs, and he cannot cough it up like someone who doesn't have cerebal palsy. Fortunately, he didn't die but he was in the hospital for a two weeks afterwards, he is such a kind soul, and so smart too! Everyone just adored him, we're not in school anymore, but he's still one of my greatest friends, and I wish him every bit of happiness in this world!
Wow! His brother is a class act! We could all learn something from him. Both of them... Wonderful. It's still so dope how Ashton and his wife were dating on that 70's show and then ended up together years later
Please keep sharing more to bring awareness to CP. My grandson was born with CP and find that so many people assume that he has a severe intellectual disability when his intellectual abilities are normal. Not enough people understand this and it hurts when people misunderstand you.
Awwww. I happened to know their father he trained me when I worked for an airline who also has a speech impendemant...they come from a wonderful family & he always spoke on how proud he is of both his boys.💜
Ashton thinks the world of his brother and was proud to tell his story, I'm glad Michael came around and understood the assignment. I appreciate people who share their stories so the rest of us can be educated properly.
Do you mean "Advocacy", maybe? instead of Assignment? It is great to see his brother doing well and doing some good. Michael has health issues but, many others inflicted with cerebral palsy have it much worse. I hope he chooses to continue in helping to Inspire and Educate others.❤ Annnd... hello!? Ashton's name is CHRIS???!! 😳 Guess I Never caught THAT one on IMDb!! Strange and yet, So COOL! He certainly looks more like a Chris!!
I feel it's been a hush hush for far to long in many families . I'm so happy that astin an his brother can an have made a difference . They are blessed 💗
@@AnnieWarbux Sorry but how do you know hard hard Michael has had “it”? Illness and experiences related to disability such as discrimination, bullying, microagressions, literally not being afforded the same opportunities as other people, having low self esteem, constantly getting knocked back, people assuming you’re stupid, etc. are just a handful of the endless things disabled (physically and mentally- including people with trauma and mental health issues) go through on a daily basis. It’s impossible to compare one person’s experience to another, since so much of us suffer in silence and most struggles are never spoken about. Trust me, I would know.
Bravo for his bravery. We need a great person to bring awareness to CP and we couldn’t ask for anyone kinder than Michael. What a beautiful and much needed story. God bless the brothers and all that support them.
Michael is an amazing guy!! My son has CP and Michael spoke at my works event and made my son feel special! Michael life story is nothing short of miraculous and he is an excellent rep for CP! Thank you Michael for all you do! ❤️
😳 omG.. Mr. A, I’m a Mom of identical twins, they are 30. One of my precious boys has Autism. To see the LOVE you have for your brother, brings a Mom like me, and maybe your Mom too, of true sense of joy to see her 2 amazing Sons together. Your brother will find his way, God has a plan for great things for you both, just as he does for my angles. 🌬 💕 Bless you both on your journey 🥰
How sweet to acknowledge his brothers accomplishments, while keeping it focused on his struggle he had for a short time. Hollywood bravery and courage only a actor can project. I would rather listen to a real person's struggle.
Right because Ashton and Michael are in a Netflix Hulu paramount movie Truman show. Mila is also acting as a wife. Their kids and family are all actors. Don't feel any sympathy, empathy, compassion for their health struggles because non this stories are real. I'm sure your really nice person 🙂
You think people who have money don’t struggle because they have financial stability? Is that the only kind of struggle people can face?you thinl they are not real because they have money?
My teenaged nephew got a rare type of vasculitis, too. They said he’d recover. He died suddenly and hideously less than 3 weeks later. Life-altering and life-ending illnesses are just as real to one person as another. Stop thinking like a horse’s ass.
I can’t find the words… how invited to realness and intimacy of people to witness that moment of the brothers clasping hands and the heartfelt emotions… ❤
Being a twin is the most intense lesson in learning about yourself through another person. This is beautiful. God Bless all of us born with a wombmate.
I've also have mild cerebral palsy and I can relate to what Michael Kutcher says. It wasn't until I was in my mid-30's, when I was able to begin to speak comfortably about my CP.
Could you imagine? What a champion Michael is. I know so many people with perfect health and glamorous lives that all they do is complain and feel sorry for themselves. You gotta have gratitude. Michael is a perfect example.
Just because you are in “perfect health” does not mean life cannot be hard in other ways. By the way, you are assuming these people are in “perfect health.” No one’s health is perfect.
Look at Ashton. He seemed to have the perfect life and still helps others tremendously. He's helped save over 6000 kids from sex trafficking with his foundation. They are both amazing men
I too am a Twin and Twins REALLY do have a special bond and connection. To hear him speak of wanting to know HIS life purpose is THE first step of knowing why God created you. Way to go the both of you. THANKFUL that you both are still on the Earth. #KeepSpreadingGodLove
He's probably the strongest person closest to him that his brother knows. After having all the ease of being "the normal one" and experiencing his own health issues, why wouldn't he be reflective on his brother's struggles and indifference to his own condition? That's respect. That's human. Very admirable. Ashton Kutcher has come a long way since getting married and portraying Steve Jobs
That there is still a stigma in society toward anyone with a disability says everything about the lack of humanity that exists in the world. I witness this daily and it tears me apart. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story .
Michael is such an inspiration. The transplant stuff gets me every time. I am a volunteer for the Iowa Donor Network and love giving speeches about the donor network and our experience. My husband received a kidney and pancreas transplant in 2019 and I'm just so thankful for everyone who chooses that end of life decision
It is evident that these brothers were raised right. They seem grounded and realistic about life. They are a testament to they small town, Midwest upbringing and the good job their parents did.
Glad we get to know Michael...what an intelligent thoughtful man he is. His ability to support his brother's success yet see clearly how it impacted his own talents as a positive force. I was very intrigued as to their relationship and how each has inspired the other. I look forward to hearing more from Michael and hope to see their show.
As an outsider it's heartwarming to see the closeness between these siblings. Not everyone has such a strong family bond. It's wonderful to see MIla and Aston stay strong in view of his health scare. It could've turned into a life long debilitating struggle. Reminds me of Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy they obviously took their vows, in sickness and in health to heart .Compare that against other married celebs who dump their spouses at the drop of a hat or trade in their old wives for younger models. Getting a divorce is effortless for some, like changing soiled underwear. J Lo, Kimho & West, The Bradys, Holmes and Robach, Fergie and Josh, many other examples. Since they live their lives in the public spectrum they're fair game for ridicule.
Fun Fact : Ashton Kutcher went to school to be a doctor at U of I, but was more interested in Biochemical Engineering (creating medicine) partly due to his brother. He became a model as a dare between friends, but left college for his modeling career, and his alcohol use. It's good to see he's keeping true to his word to his brother in the end.
This made me smile , i also wanted and got into med school for the sake of my disabled siblings , i dropped out cuz i was not into general medicine, i was always fascinated by dentistry so it was useless forcing myself . Words cannot describe the feelings of pride and happiness for being able to stick with your siblings in need . He s an incredible person for being there for his brother!
This is crazy because I still think of him and Mila as the two dumbasses on That 70s Show. Clearly they are both very thoughtful, intelligent and grounded. Two of the coolest celebrities out there
@@GinjaNinja77 Mila (Milena Markovna Kunis) was born in Ukraine under Soviet rule. Her family escaped through Turkey to Canada and to the United States. She speaks fluent Ukranian. (Just a fun fact)
My brother also has cerebral palsy and I commend them for speaking out and bringing more awareness. There’s a lot of guilt in having a sibling with a disability and a lot of heartache as it’s not easy especially as a child to watch your brother go through so much pain. Hopefully they can use their platform to raise money for more research on how to prevent and treat cp.
Chris and Mike lived right down the road from us growing up. Mike hung out with my oldest daughter. He was such a comedian! He had us rolling all the time. He has such a wonderful out look in life. They are 2 beautiful people. As for their mom she did a great job raising these 2 fine young men!
Me and my twin have same story . I was born with bad heart and about to get my fourth heart transplant at 22 . My sister was born normal . We are inseparable we do everything together ❤I also was give 1 year at birth and my last transplant I flatlined and saw heaven . Edit : I just saw the comments ty all for the love and support. I understand that people would get triggered for something I can’t control. I accept people have different religious views and don’t believe me. Im a psychic for living . After my near death experience at 11 I developed a understanding and knowing for this world I purposely came down here. When I flatlined I went back to the Creator. Everything was white pure light I was just my soul. I was ascending for what felt like minutes. Then god telepathically told me it’s not my time and I’m needed here . I got knocked back into my body at light force and woke up in a coma 3 days later on the Ventilator. So heaven from my experience is going back into light . My souls original state of being .
Maaannnn who raised these twins ??? Such a beautiful family I swear . Ashton is always helping ppl and now I’m introduced to his brother that’s the same way !! I just love it . Then on top of the fact Ashton and Mia is still going strong after the 70s show …..UGH love that for them
Major respect for both of them after seeing this especially Ashton's brother for wanting to help others with CP to deal with this difficulty. My financial guy who helped me set up my IRA was born with CP, but he like Michael hasn't let it define who he is. He went & got his degree in financing, and helps others like me to get ready for retirement.
There are many in showbusiness who have twins that people don't know about. Scarlett Johansson, Kiefer Sutherland, Eva Green, Rami Malik and Jerry Hall, Gisele Bundchen - they all have a twin sibling.
@@MTMF.london Yep and there's more than that. There are lots of twins in Hollywood that people don't realize. I"m a twin so I have always paid attention to who the twins were. One of my favorites was always Giovanni Ribisi and his sister Marissa.
The fact that they are able to keep some aspects of their lives private is awesome. Also I commend the entire family for a the the struggles they have overcome. The twin with CP you sir are a hero. I battle severe depression, anxiety and PTSD and it doesn’t compare, I have trouble making it through each day. My only wish would be to be surrounded by love like the love you all have, maybe then it wouldn’t be so bad. But when your alone 24/7 and no one want you anyway sorry you have a wonderful family great support system and I wish you nothing but the best
Michael is intelligent. What an inspiration to breakthrough the adversity in his life. It’s nice to know that Chris hasn’t allowed ego to take him over, and be real with his family.
Ashton is blessed. He's a good guy and handsome, Demi was beautiful, Mila is freaking gorgeous, and his twin brother loves him even though they have painfully different abilities. In life, he's gotten double what most ppl could hope for.
Seriously as a parent with a son with Cerebral Palsy you would be an amazing inspiration and positive motivator for kids that live with CP and it's struggles.
CP affects anyone who has it so differently. There are no two of us the same. Also, it is still seen so much as a child's issue but we grow with it, we age with it and it changes depending on what happens to us. If we break a bone that can forever affect our CP. Disability is still not widely represented in the media in North America. Ryan a contestant on Survivor this year has CP and because he does not look disabled it was never focused on but the other cast mate who is an amputee was. There is nothing wrong with that but as someone with CP I was so happy to see Ryan competing. I hope Michael Kutcher does whatever makes him happy he does not have to be a "spokesperson or face" for people with CP or disabilities. The people we need to help us are the people who do the hiring/ casting etc.
It must be hard to almost feel like you were the unlucky one, the one in your twins shadow and live like ‘why me?’ - but this guy is using his brothers luck to help others and to me that is more commendable than any film Ashton can star in, or size of cheque he can write.
This is inspirational. I sometimes talk about my struggles with Hydrocephalus on my RUclips channel, and recently my friend and I have started writing a children’s book series about a child with Hydrocephalus. When I was growing up, there were no resources for people like this.
I know Michael was mad at Ashton and he was upset but I think Ashton really helped build his confidence and sometimes you don’t wanna be a leader or the face but all the good you could do helping people with the same problem. Good for both of y’all
I first heard about Michael a few years ago when I was looking for powerful guest speakers for our HR conference and I was looking for sample keynotes that they had delivered in the past. I was really taken away by his charisma on stage and his depth and genuineness. Unfortunately, we couldn't hire his services because the company opted to spend most of the budget on another keynote speaker so we didn't have enough left in the budget I am still looking forward to having him present for our audience.
I have a twin brother and had absolutely no idea he was a twin as well!! So cool ❤️ Also, so random, but I wonder if Mila calls him Ashton or Chris behind closed doors lol
She said she calls him Chris when they are in Iowa (his hometown) because that’s all he responds to in front of his family. But he doesn’t respond when she calls him Chris at home so she calls him Ashton.
@@JujuToobootie It's amazing these two from "That 70s Show" ended up together in life. Ashton is no doofus - he has one of showbusiness sharpest minds - he invested his money in tech startups way before the the stocks were hot.

Yeah, I appreciate Michael’s vulnerability and realness here. He’s a real one just like his brother 💯
Hey ashtons pretty great too, he has a foundation that helps children a lot, kendall rae talks about it from time to time.
Beautiful relevant accurate message
But not jaded from jealousy Jaded from lack of privacy No one wants to be thrown into the spotlight like that especially someone with a disability I also have cerebral palsy so I know where he’s coming from When you have a noticeable disability you get one of two reactions out of people Relentless bullying or people who wanna baby you all the time and never take you seriously about anything like you’re a child No one wants to be treated that way disability or not 💯
As someone with disabilities, this really helped out. Just the “I’m just grateful to be alive everyday”, is a big statement.
Literally everyone, disabled or not, should be grateful to be alive every day. And for whatever we're disabled from doing, be grateful for what we're capable of instead.
Why does a complete stranger saying a few words have any meaning to you?
He's always so tactile with his brother. His love for him is palpable and so absolutely beautiful
Well they were in the womb together for 9 months
I am thinking your taking of Ashton. Ashton was on the end of the couch from his brother Micheal.
My brothers(twins) were the same. One is a pro skateboarder, the other sadly died before he turned 14. He had severe cerebral palsy, but the biggest smile and so much heart. He still watches over me I can feel it

@@MichaelLives17 they didn't say that at all. I think you should reread the original comment. They never said "more connected."
Maybe it’s cause they are close..that they have similar ideas..what you’ve stated is not exactly true..twins don’t have to look/and or act similar emotionally.
@@MichaelLives17 they’re wrong it’s not true that fraternal twins are more psychologically similar than identical twins
I'm an identical twin and this is just false
You can tell they're related. Both have an empathy, love and caring that is rare in this world. Hats off to their family ❤️
I know allot of people with those traits, just not a lot of celebrities with them…
That's because he's from Iowa. Where I live. So is Jason Momoa and he's the same. Well he's actually from Hawaii but lived here with his mom allot of his life n she still lives here.
@@babethebuilder1 People from Iowa are humble. I respect that.

Me either 😂
It's Christopher Ashton Kutcher 👍
Me too

Michael should have a podcast. I was so tuned in to his speaking. I’m sure he has so much wisdom to share.
I agree!
He's cool
That’s what I was saying he speaks so amazingly ❤
Very intellectual and he doesn’t let his disability define him ❤
That is a Great idea! At the end of the day, they are always brothers. Just, "The Boys". Bet they would be great doing a cast, together!
As a mother of twins, I get emotional seeing their bond. There is a special closeness with twins and it's an incredible blessing having a best friend to go throughout life with
Yup!
Not always.
Twin mom here too. I completely understand.
Twin siblings here. Not always true. It depends on the upbringing for the most part.
How does upbringing affect the closeness do you think? Just curious if you could talk about it more
I knew about his twin and that he had a "condition" but didn't know what it was, i could tell that Ashton really cared and loved his brother very much, and it made him more human and likeable in my eyes. I'm glad they share that bond and that they're willing to help others going through the same struggles together.
Thats probably why Ashton is such an empathetic person even as a celebrity.
Please don't quote condition. We as a society got to lower the sitgma. It doesn't come out thoughtfully

My teenaged nephew got a rare type of vasculitis, too. They said he’d recover. He died suddenly and hideously less than 3 weeks later. Life-altering and life-ending illnesses are just as real to one person as another. Stop thinking like a horse’s ass.
I can’t find the words… how invited to realness and intimacy of people to witness that moment of the brothers clasping hands and the heartfelt emotions… ❤
What a beautiful story to be grateful for… A strong bond of true brotherhood and friendship. ❤
Hello Dear, how are you doing?
His brother is a legend. Very inspiring
Being a twin is the most intense lesson in learning about yourself through another person. This is beautiful. God Bless all of us born with a wombmate.
As a fellow human regardless of celebrity status, I respect both brothers for coming forward with their stories and am blessed by it!
fellow human??????????
I love that Ashton helped his brother realize he should want to share his story with others ❤️
Hello Sarah, how are you doing?
Why? At first he didn't want to and it was valid. Disabled people can have another purpose in life than inspire healthy folks to be less mediocre.
I've also have mild cerebral palsy and I can relate to what Michael Kutcher says. It wasn't until I was in my mid-30's, when I was able to begin to speak comfortably about my CP.
Could you imagine? What a champion Michael is. I know so many people with perfect health and glamorous lives that all they do is complain and feel sorry for themselves. You gotta have gratitude. Michael is a perfect example.
Just because you are in “perfect health” does not mean life cannot be hard in other ways. By the way, you are assuming these people are in “perfect health.” No one’s health is perfect.
Look at Ashton. He seemed to have the perfect life and still helps others tremendously. He's helped save over 6000 kids from sex trafficking with his foundation. They are both amazing men
@@trinitym5552 Preach!!! This is one of the best comments I’ve read on any website.
I too am a Twin and Twins REALLY do have a special bond and connection. To hear him speak of wanting to know HIS life purpose is THE first step of knowing why God created you. Way to go the both of you. THANKFUL that you both are still on the Earth.
#KeepSpreadingGodLove
What a loving and supportive family. We'd all be so lucky to have family support as we go through pain and death struggles.
I was Facebook friends with Michael a while back (we both are Cerebral Palsy advocates). He is a kind and awesome person.
He's probably the strongest person closest to him that his brother knows. After having all the ease of being "the normal one" and experiencing his own health issues, why wouldn't he be reflective on his brother's struggles and indifference to his own condition? That's respect. That's human. Very admirable. Ashton Kutcher has come a long way since getting married and portraying Steve Jobs
That there is still a stigma in society toward anyone with a disability says everything about the lack of humanity that exists in the world. I witness this daily and it tears me apart. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story .
This is beautiful, Ashton has always spoken so fondly about his brother ❤️ they both do..love seeing siblings just adore n love up on eachother.
Michael is such an inspiration. The transplant stuff gets me every time. I am a volunteer for the Iowa Donor Network and love giving speeches about the donor network and our experience. My husband received a kidney and pancreas transplant in 2019 and I'm just so thankful for everyone who chooses that end of life decision
Glad he is supportive of his brother. He always seemed like a genuine sweet guy.
It is evident that these brothers were raised right. They seem grounded and realistic about life. They are a testament to they small town, Midwest upbringing and the good job their parents did.
IT'S THEIR SMALL TOWN.
Ashton has such a good heart and his brother seems like such a beautiful soul!
Glad we get to know Michael...what an intelligent thoughtful man he is. His ability to support his brother's success yet see clearly how it impacted his own talents as a positive force. I was very intrigued as to their relationship and how each has inspired the other. I look forward to hearing more from Michael and hope to see their show.
I’ve been waiting twenty years for this. I’m so glad to see them opening up about their bond ❤
I understand what you mean. Same
@Bobo Jenkins stop being rude.
Your a major celebrity also Michael! We appreciate you for changing our lives! Thank you!!!!!!!
Wow Mila must really be his rock❤❤❤ She is 100% right🙏🏻🙏🏻
She sounded so mean!
@@dr.jenniferma3914 no.
@@dr.jenniferma3914 She has a Very annoying voice.
As an outsider it's heartwarming to see the closeness between these siblings. Not everyone has such a strong family bond. It's wonderful to see MIla and Aston stay strong in view of his health scare. It could've turned into a life long debilitating struggle. Reminds me of Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy they obviously took their vows, in sickness and in health to heart .Compare that against other married celebs who dump their spouses at the drop of a hat or trade in their old wives for younger models. Getting a divorce is effortless for some, like changing soiled underwear. J Lo, Kimho & West, The Bradys, Holmes and Robach, Fergie and Josh, many other examples. Since they live their lives in the public spectrum they're fair game for ridicule.
They’re both amazing human beings
Fun Fact : Ashton Kutcher went to school to be a doctor at U of I, but was more interested in Biochemical Engineering (creating medicine) partly due to his brother. He became a model as a dare between friends, but left college for his modeling career, and his alcohol use. It's good to see he's keeping true to his word to his brother in the end.
This made me smile , i also wanted and got into med school for the sake of my disabled siblings , i dropped out cuz i was not into general medicine, i was always fascinated by dentistry so it was useless forcing myself . Words cannot describe the feelings of pride and happiness for being able to stick with your siblings in need . He s an incredible person for being there for his brother!
This is crazy because I still think of him and Mila as the two dumbasses on That 70s Show. Clearly they are both very thoughtful, intelligent and grounded. Two of the coolest celebrities out there
@@GinjaNinja77 Mila (Milena Markovna Kunis) was born in Ukraine under Soviet rule. Her family escaped through Turkey to Canada and to the United States. She speaks fluent Ukranian. (Just a fun fact)
That's not surprising. He has an IQ of 160.
@@tbd-5160 Right on, and I heard her parents won’t take a dime of her money! She was born from good stock 👍
My brother also has cerebral palsy and I commend them for speaking out and bringing more awareness. There’s a lot of guilt in having a sibling with a disability and a lot of heartache as it’s not easy especially as a child to watch your brother go through so much pain. Hopefully they can use their platform to raise money for more research on how to prevent and treat cp.
Courage is infectious and provides us with hope and TRUST in God.
Chris and Mike lived right down the road from us growing up. Mike hung out with my oldest daughter. He was such a comedian! He had us rolling all the time. He has such a wonderful out look in life. They are 2 beautiful people. As for their mom she did a great job raising these 2 fine young men!
Me and my twin have same story . I was born with bad heart and about to get my fourth heart transplant at 22 . My sister was born normal . We are inseparable we do everything together ❤I also was give 1 year at birth and my last transplant I flatlined and saw heaven .
Edit : I just saw the comments ty all for the love and support. I understand that people would get triggered for something I can’t control. I accept people have different religious views and don’t believe me. Im a psychic for living . After my near death experience at 11 I developed a understanding and knowing for this world I purposely came down here.
When I flatlined I went back to the
Creator. Everything was white pure light I was just my soul. I was ascending for what felt like minutes. Then god telepathically told me it’s not my time and I’m needed here . I got knocked back into my body at light force and woke up in a coma 3 days later on the
Ventilator. So heaven from my experience is going back into light . My souls original state of being .
What was it like?
My heart goes out to you. I can see the difficulty for each of you for different reasons. I hope in your lifetimes you stay close to each other.
So glad you are alive ! Keep being positive 😊
Omg this is so crazy!!!! My twin sister was born normal and I was born with a heart condition and had two heart surgeries in my life 😮
Sending love & light your way! You are meant to be here. You have a purpose! ♥️🙏
My best friend since 4th grade has cerebral palsy and I love her for her power through attitude, I feel blessed for her to be my friend
Maaannnn who raised these twins ??? Such a beautiful family I swear . Ashton is always helping ppl and now I’m introduced to his brother that’s the same way !! I just love it . Then on top of the fact Ashton and Mia is still going strong after the 70s show …..UGH love that for them
These folks know what life is about and How To Live thru the journey together. Love these 3
Michael is such an amazing guy! And I adore Mila's and Ashton's charity work. ❤️
Major respect for both of them after seeing this especially Ashton's brother for wanting to help others with CP to deal with this difficulty. My financial guy who helped me set up my IRA was born with CP, but he like Michael hasn't let it define who he is. He went & got his degree in financing, and helps others like me to get ready for retirement.
What?? He has a twin?! I never knew that until now! Wow!
There are many in showbusiness who have twins that people don't know about. Scarlett Johansson, Kiefer Sutherland, Eva Green, Rami Malik and Jerry Hall, Gisele Bundchen - they all have a twin sibling.
They don't even look alike....hmm.
@@suejames735 They are fraternal twins. Twins aren't always identical.
@@MTMF.london Yep and there's more than that. There are lots of twins in Hollywood that people don't realize. I"m a twin so I have always paid attention to who the twins were. One of my favorites was always Giovanni Ribisi and his sister Marissa.
Boy, so many people have more than their share of pain and suffering. Love seeing how much they love each other! ❤️🙏
I didn’t know AK had a twin. MK sounds like such a strong and interesting man!! We need to see more of him.❤️🙏
Kudos to a Michael for using his platform and to all my amazing friends with CP.
Is anyone else ALSO shocked that Ash's first name is CHRIS? He looks way more like an Ashton lol
Yes and Chris Kutcher is not very flowy.
He is a midwestern boy. LOTS of Chris’s in Iowa 😂
Now I'm wondering was Mila calls him..... He looks like a Chris to me, sweetheart from the midwest
I Never knew! I think the name Chris suits him better.
@@cheerpedge41 I married a Chris from Ohio, so many Chris Smith's in his lil' town that he had to go by the nickname Smitty lol
The fact that they are able to keep some aspects of their lives private is awesome. Also I commend the entire family for a the the struggles they have overcome. The twin with CP you sir are a hero. I battle severe depression, anxiety and PTSD and it doesn’t compare, I have trouble making it through each day. My only wish would be to be surrounded by love like the love you all have, maybe then it wouldn’t be so bad. But when your alone 24/7 and no one want you anyway sorry you have a wonderful family great support system and I wish you nothing but the best
I had no idea he even had a twin brother my thoughts and prayers are with the family
Michael is intelligent. What an inspiration to breakthrough the adversity in his life. It’s nice to know that Chris hasn’t allowed ego to take him over, and be real with his family.
Blessings to him, and his brother.🥰💞❤
Ashton is blessed. He's a good guy and handsome, Demi was beautiful, Mila is freaking gorgeous, and his twin brother loves him even though they have painfully different abilities. In life, he's gotten double what most ppl could hope for.
For me personally, they are a powerhouse together and powerful as individuals. Hopefully they will be together for life.
You'll okuphuthumayo Yoo opened opioid out Yoo u of popup Ooo up opioid you iiup up I op opioid you
I must say Both humble, blessed and Good looking gentleman. Rock on helping others. 🤘🙏
I didn't even know Ashton had a twin!! Wth!! That's so Awesome!!❤️
Seriously as a parent with a son with Cerebral Palsy you would be an amazing inspiration and positive motivator for kids that live with CP and it's struggles.
CP affects anyone who has it so differently. There are no two of us the same. Also, it is still seen so much as a child's issue but we grow with it, we age with it and it changes depending on what happens to us. If we break a bone that can forever affect our CP. Disability is still not widely represented in the media in North America. Ryan a contestant on Survivor this year has CP and because he does not look disabled it was never focused on but the other cast mate who is an amputee was. There is nothing wrong with that but as someone with CP I was so happy to see Ryan competing. I hope Michael Kutcher does whatever makes him happy he does not have to be a "spokesperson or face" for people with CP or disabilities. The people we need to help us are the people who do the hiring/ casting etc.
No idea he was a twin! That’s so cool! Wow this is an amazing backstory.
I've always knew about his love for his Brother. That's what made him so Human in my eyes.
It must be hard to almost feel like you were the unlucky one, the one in your twins shadow and live like ‘why me?’ - but this guy is using his brothers luck to help others and to me that is more commendable than any film Ashton can star in, or size of cheque he can write.
This is inspirational. I sometimes talk about my struggles with Hydrocephalus on my RUclips channel, and recently my friend and I have started writing a children’s book series about a child with Hydrocephalus. When I was growing up, there were no resources for people like this.
I knew about his twin and him having cerebral palsy! But I didn’t know that Ashton’s first name was Chris! Michael got him back! 😅🙏🏾💕
I think it's funny that Ashton's break out role was as a guy named "Michael (Kelso)"!
He been said his name was Chris when he accepted his teen choice award
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome young man… thank you Michael and Chris!!
I am a twin with mild spina bifida. This hits close to home! ❤️
Someone or two..raised amazing sons! In awe of both of them. 💛
I know Michael was mad at Ashton and he was upset but I think Ashton really helped build his confidence and sometimes you don’t wanna be a leader or the face but all the good you could do helping people with the same problem. Good for both of y’all
Both these guys are awesome. Glad he's progressing.
This is so heartwarming and heartbreaking. They'll pull through all this, they have a lot of love 💕 for each other.
Man this man is so humble he deserves every good that goes his way
They'll never forget each others birthdays.
Ashton Kutcher is one of the greats 🙏
Finding purpose through the pain and struggle - that's one of the best things you can do. Good for him 💛
I first heard about Michael a few years ago when I was looking for powerful guest speakers for our HR conference and I was looking for sample keynotes that they had delivered in the past. I was really taken away by his charisma on stage and his depth and genuineness. Unfortunately, we couldn't hire his services because the company opted to spend most of the budget on another keynote speaker so we didn't have enough left in the budget I am still looking forward to having him present for our audience.
You can not see Ashton Kutcher the same way ..I've known this for YEARS and still have to remind myself of this.....
I have a twin brother and had absolutely no idea he was a twin as well!! So cool ❤️ Also, so random, but I wonder if Mila calls him Ashton or Chris behind closed doors lol
She said she calls him Chris when they are in Iowa (his hometown) because that’s all he responds to in front of his family. But he doesn’t respond when she calls him Chris at home so she calls him Ashton.
@@LALA-ll6hh Oh wow that's interesting!! Thanks for that ☺️
She calls him Kelso.
She is in love with a a doofus.
@@LALA-ll6hh How funny that it is locational.
@@JujuToobootie It's amazing these two from "That 70s Show" ended up together in life. Ashton is no doofus - he has one of showbusiness sharpest minds - he invested his money in tech startups way before the the stocks were hot.
🤗Such a Touching, Heartfelt story .. I never knew Ashton was a twin ..
Glad his brother forgave him and glad they have that close bond 🥰
