We’ve all heard about Charlie Sheen’s numerous rants against his boss and the producer of Two and a Half Men Chuck Lorre, which resulted in Sheen losing his job in March. If you haven’t heard about it, you need to get out of your cave, because media has been all over it ever since it happened. There have also been many names circulating as possible replacements for Charlie in the show: John Stamos, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Jeremy Piven, Woody Harrelson, Hugh Grant, and many more. As of yesterday, it seems that we have a winner, and it’s Ashton Kutcher.
Some skeptics still say that Charlie Sheen cannot be replaced in the show, and I agree with them, if the producers wanted to replace Charlie’s character with another actor. However, if they bring Ashton as a whole new character (which is what Lorre says will happen), the show has a potential to be very interesting. We all know and love Ashton from his role in That’s 70s Show, and it’s about time we get to see him on TV on regular basis. I think that his character could be just the refreshment that Two and a Half Men needs.
Although the news is not 100% confirmed yet, it seems like the deal is already made. It makes sense for the producers of the show, who could use Kutcher’s 6.5 million Twitter followers and other fans to boost up the rankings that have plummeted since the show has been airing re-runs. It also makes sense for Ashton, who’s movie career hasn’t been that hot lately. He seems excited about the deal, Tweeting “What’s the square root of 6.25?” The answer, of course, is two-and-a-half.
