10 More Actors Who Took Method Acting Way Too Far

10. Ashton Kutcher - Jobs

Ashton Kutcher played Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the 2013 biographical film Jobs.

Jobs followed the early days of Steve Jobs as he developed the first Apple computer with Steve Wozniak, creating one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in recent history.

To prepare for the title role, Ashton Kutcher spent many hours researching Jobs' life, and even found himself in the hospital with pancreatitis after trying to mimic his unusual diet.

Jobs famously experimented with a fruitarian diet, with Kutcher stating that Jobs was interested in the "healing properties" of fruit, and that he also drank a lot of carrot juice. Kutcher would drink carrot juice nonstop, until he felt a shooting pain in his back one day, and had to be sent to hospital.

“My pancreas was like crazy out of whack. Then I’m getting freaked out like, ‘Oh my god I’ve become Steve Jobs,’” the actor said.

Kutcher's wife Mila Kunis disagreed with the method acting her husband was trying, which, considering those health issues, is completely understandable.
