Ashton Kutcher Is Set to Make His Acting Return in This Unexpected Show Following Major Scandals
In the past couple of years, Ashton Kutcher has been in the middle of some serious personal scandals. In 2023, Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis found themselves in hot water after writing letters to the judge overseeing Danny Masterson’s sexual assault trial. And while the pair apologized at the time, Kutcher is now wrapped up in another scandal recently following his friend P. Diddy’s arrest over sex trafficking charges.
But, despite all the frenzy Kutcher’s faced through the years, Deadline shared an unexpected piece of news this week: he’s been cast in a new show. That’s right – while some people are still scratching their heads over Kutcher and Diddy’s friendship over the years, Kutcher will be making his return to acting. Per IMDb, Kutcher’s last release was the light-hearted rom-com with Reese Witherspoon Your Place or Mine, released in February 2023.

Per Deadline, Kutcher’s new series The Beauty, created by Ryan Murphy for FX, will be alongside Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope. The show, which will likely begin filming this November, didn’t share any official details of the premise of its characters.
But while Kutcher’s agents were busy getting him this deal, it seems Kutcher himself knows he’s perhaps not out of the woods surrounding his involvement with Diddy.
“Ashton does have fears about how this investigation will play out,” an insider told Daily Mail earlier this week. “He feels Diddy would have no problem lying to authorities and tossing out some of his famous friend’s names if it meant it could get him out of jail.”
“Ashton absolutely regrets his friendship with Diddy considering what has happened,” the insider continued. “He feels lied to, betrayed, taken for granted and manipulated.”
“He feels the same way about Danny Masterson,” the insider revealed. “He now trusts no one except for his wife Mila. He is going to keep his circle to his family.”
According to the source, Kutcher knows his over-two-decades friendship with the rapper could have some serious consequences. “He does not want to get involved in this, but knows that his association means he already is,” the insider said. “If he gets contacted by the authorities, he will be fully cooperative as he has nothing to hide.”
“Ashton knows that he dug himself a hole with this one but never in a million years did he believe that Diddy was truly doing these horrible things,” the source added.
