Ashton Kutcher says superstars Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise are lying when they insist they do their own stuntwork.
'IT'S BULL'
“Nobody does all their own stunts,” Kutcher, 32, said recently. “These guys are all full of bulls**. The insurance won’t allow it."
To underscore the point, Kutcher recalled shooting action scenes on one of his recent films.
“For Killers I knocked out a stunt guy, I perforated an eardrum but the thing is nobody does ALL their own stunts," said Ashton.
Kutcher was apparently responding to recent statements by Simon Crane, the stunt instructor on Angelina's spy thriller, Salt. Crane, who has worked with Jolie for several years, said Jolie "does 99%" of her own stunts.
"When she did the jump/fall [in a scene where Jolie jumps from a bridge onto a moving truck below], she was wearing a rucksack which we put a lot of soft padding in," he explains. "She also wore elbow, hip and knee pads. The stunt was accomplished by a combination of real fall and wire work."
JOLIE NEVER SAID SHE DOES 'ALL' OF HER OWN STUNTS
As it is, Angelina has never claimed she does ALL of her own stunts; she said she prefers to do as many of her stunts as she's allowed to do. She told the Daily Mail:
There were a few things that I couldn't do that my double Eunice did. One jump was from one moving truck to another. I would have liked to have tried it but it would have been insane to do so. She could have died doing it and the producers didn't want me to have a go - for one thing I'd have needed a wire and it wouldn't have looked as good.
Doing a few stunts is a great part of the job; it's wonderful therapy. I wasn't scared. I get a kick out of it. I love that kind of thing. But I am fearless to the point of stupidity sometimes. Maybe I should have a little more fear.
Jolie, 35, who followed a high-carb diet for Salt (to maintain muscle mass and not lose weight), suggested a Salt sequel could be in the works.
“If the people want another one, certainly we’ll give it to them," she says. “I would love to revisit the role because we think there’s a lot more to the story. But we don’t know where we’ll go yet. We’ve talked about more exotic locations, for one.”
INCREDULOUS CLAIM: DEMI MOORE SAYS SHE NEVER HAD PLASTIC SURGERY
Instead of worrying about whether Jolie or Tom Cruise do their own stunts or not (by the way, neither actor has stated they do all of their stunts; they have said they do some of them), perhaps Ashton should field comments about his wife Demi Moore.
In a claim more shocking than whether Angelina does her own stunts, Moore, 47, recently insisted she has never had any plastic surgery, a claim which defies logic as well as numerous reports hat Demi has undergone up to $500,000 in cosmetic enhancements, including breast implants, a knee lift and other procedures. Meanwhile, Ashton gushed that "magic" was Demi's beauty secret. (This photo from Beautywire tells the story, no?)

Ashton rocks....Angelina has always claimed she did her own stunts...
Who cares? Ashton is useless in anything except an airhead comedy and Demi is a has been. Can you spell "ENVY".
Who said that? Some boy toy that belongs to ex wife of an ex action hero? I just love it how some people love to name drop, to give themselves some relevance!
It really must be hard to be a Brangeloonie fan..LMAO There is a-helva-alot of people that just cant stand the Angeloonie fake freak show.....Attacking people because they call her out on her lies....LMAO WOW
@Bratt. Obsessed much? You come on here calling fans names and trashing Angelina. Time to grow up, little boy/girl/it and find something useful to do with yourself rather than obsessing over celebs who could care less about you.
in all the action films shes been in the direcotrs and producers as well as her costars claimed she did most of the stunts. Not one of them ever said she did ALL her stunts. she herself has said so she does most of them not ALL of them. Maybe Ashton Kutcher should go back to school and learn to read! and perhaps that some acting lessons as well.
My theory here is this is a bitter manboy wannabe actor with absolutely no talent spewing idiot quotes to get noticed.
Can someone spell JEALOUSY!
A get a life: Its obvious you do!!!!!! LMAO I can go to any web-site and post a comment whether it be bashing or what.....ROTFLMFAO It must be so hard for you to read post that bash Angeloonie...LMAO
Bratt, did you even read the blog post? She said she does as many stunts as possible.
Here's the difference between the Angelina "fans" and the trolls/haters. It's normal for a celeb (whether you're a politician like Obama, Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela or an actress like Angelina or Tom or Demi) to have fans who admire their work and/or their personalities. So the Brangelina fans like AJ for their own reasons (her acting, philanthropy, whatever), but the Angelina trolls merely exist just to HATE ON her. That is truly pathetic! To be motivated by admiration or love for a public figure is normal (even celebs have heroes!) but to exist solely to troll the web to make hate comments about someone they don't even know and twist their words out of context? That's truly pathetic and desperate.
This is not about Angelina (she is the one of the most self-revealing actors out there - no surprises) or the haters (they want to believe the worst, waste of time to acknowledge thier comments) it's about wannabe-in denial-can't act Ashton. The absolutely last person who should have anything to say about any actor until he at least proves himself and maybe he will someday and after 100 tries.
Ashton is a total loser. If he didn't marry Demi Moore (who herself would be no one if she hadn't married Bruce Willis and pose naked a bunch of times and gotten cosmetic surgeries), would anyone even know who the heck he is? Ashton needs to shut it i agree with whoever said that.
Kutcher is irrelevant.
hey bratt, did you take your medication yet? don't you supposed to be in a rehab with lohan? or in jail? get a job bratt!
yeah..my husband i meant my boy toy do punk'd show....hehe!
Ashton is just mad this his bad copy of Mr. and Mrs. Smith flopped. In all of her action films, she does as much as she is allowed. She said that she and Brad never do anything that might kill them, so of course she does not do all of her stunts. So, Mr. Kutcher, put a sock in it.
Google "Demi Moore bush" OMG...her naked picture with her coochi full of heavy black bushes!!! yuck...must be lots of fleas hidden under neath.
