Ashton Kutcher acknowledged the comparisons between his ex-wife\u2019s movie, \u201cThe Substance,\u201d and his new series, \u201cThe Beauty,\u201d noting they both reflect the growing cosmetic enhancement industry.<\/p>\n
While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Kutcher was asked to address the \u201cearly comparisons\u201d to the 2024 Oscar-winning body horror film. Kutcher made it clear he was a fan of Moore\u2019s performance in the movie, sharing that he was \u201cso proud\u201d of her and all the accolades she received.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cShe killed it.\u201d<\/p>\n
That being said, Kutcher defended that the FX series created by Ryan Murphy and Matt Hodgson reflected the \u201cbigger context\u201d of the plastic surgery business.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bigger context though, is cosmetic enhancement is becoming increasingly predominant and accepted,\u201d the actor said. \u201cI started modeling when I was like, 19, and what I realized really quickly is that everybody had an insecurity. You look in the mirror long enough, you\u2019ll find something you don\u2019t like, or that you think could be better, or you think could be different.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cRhinoplasty or transplants or whatever it is, there\u2019s like a social acceptance of, \u2018That makes that person feel happy.\u2019 And that\u2019s what matters more than any aesthetic outcome. And sometimes, these things come with unintended consequences, and I think that that\u2019s the other piece of the puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n
