Like a lot of people, I too was moved and inspired by Ashton Kutcher’s “Teen Choice Awards” acceptance speech that went viral this week. I used to never be a fan of Ashton Kutcher. I never cared for him as an actor and a person but I think I’ll have a change of heart with him. I was never a fan before but I am now. Love his honesty in this speech. How he revealed his real name and gave advice to the youngsters on how build their lives and being smart. Ashton’s advice should apply to everyone of all ages, not just young kids.

Some of you may ask, why would Ashton change his name when becoming an actor? Well, that’s the way Hollywood works. In order to help become a recognizable star, you gotta change your name if your birth name is not recognizable enough. There’s a lot of movie stars and TV stars who have changed their names. Some actors use their real names but not all of them.

Even though this speech was aimed for young people, like I said, people of all ages should listen too. Even me. My life could be better and I’m working on it.

Ashton just got my respect and I’ll probably check out his Steve Jobs movie. Honestly, I think this speech is just a homage and a tribute kind of thing for Steve, still really cool, though. Ashton seems like a cool guy in real life.

How come President Obama doesn’t give speeches like this?
