Ashton Kutcher Compares Steve Jobs To Leonardo da Vinci On 'Tonight Show'
On 'The Tonight Show' to promote his new film on the Apple founder, 'Jobs', the 'Two and a Half Men' star said it wasn't until Steve Jobs' death that he realized how much he had affected his life. "You know, I had an opportunity to meet him about six months before he passed away. I was working that day and couldn't go. I look back and think I had the opportunity to meet the Leonardo da Vinci of our generation and I missed it." "And that really affected my decision to take on the role. It was actually the day that he died, and for me, I'll never forget the moment that I heard he died," he said. "I pulled my car to the side of the road and kind of took a moment." "I got home and I realized all the relationships that I have in my life are held together by the glue that he laid down." "And all the work that I do, in whatever capacity I do it, and the entertainment I consume, and I realized I had taken him for granted. And taken for granted the contribution that he actually gave to society and I actually had a real emotional moment that day." "So when I got the script I wanted to ensure that his legacy was told by someone who really admired it."
Ashton Kutcher believes Steve Jobs was "the Leonardo da Vinci of our time."
