Kutcher to play Apple founder Jobs

Ashton Kutcher will play the late Apple founder Steve Jobs in an upcoming biopic.

Kutcher’s publicist confirmed that the independent film ‘Jobs’ will begin production in May while he is on hiatus from the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.

Variety first reported the casting news.

The 34-year-old actor, who has more than10 million Twitter followers, will portray Jobs through his rise from hippie to hugely revered technological entrepreneur as the co-founder of Apple.

Jobs died last October after a long battle with cancer.
