The topic of toxic masculinity has been a hotly debated one in recent years, and it seems that even celebrities are not immune to its influence. In a recent interview, actor Ashton Kutcher opened up about how this societal construct has impacted his approach to parenting.
At 46 years old, Ashton is a proud father to two children - nine-year-old daughter Wyatt and seven-year-old son Dimitri, whom he shares with his wife Mila Kunis. He revealed that he tends to behave differently with his two kids, admitting that he is more protective of his daughter due to the toxic masculinity he has been exposed to.
Ashton and Mila's love story dates all the way back to the 1990s when they both starred in the hit show That '70s Show alongside fellow actors Topher Grace, Kurtwood Smith, and Laura Prepon. Although they went their separate ways after the show ended, they reconnected in 2012 and started dating.
The couple welcomed their daughter Wyatt in 2014 and their son Dimitri in 2016. Now, after almost a decade of being parents, Ashton admits that he has never been so in love as when he became a father. In a recent episode of the Throwbacks podcast hosted by Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara, Ashton shared that he has never loved anyone as much as he loves his daughter.
He also opened up about how he treats his children differently. While he tends to be more adventurous with his son, constantly encouraging him to try new things, he feels the need to protect his daughter more. He explained that when his son cries, he is quick to brush it off and focus on moving forward, but when his daughter cries, he feels his heart leave his body and can't seem to put it back in.
Ashton believes that his past experiences with toxic masculinity have influenced the way he parents his son, and he also noticed that his wife Mila has a different approach with their children. He shared that she is stricter with their daughter but more of a "gushball" with their son. He believes that they balance each other out in this way.
Fans of That '70s Show were thrilled when Netflix announced a revival of the series titled That '90s Show. Ashton and Mila reprised their roles as Michael and Jackie, and Ashton later revealed that it was all thanks to Mila, who insisted that they both say yes to the project. He explained that she reminded him of how much they owe their careers to the show and that the script didn't even matter.
