‘The Beauty’ Star Ashton Kutcher Reveals Plans To Write His Own Country Album: ‘I’m Obsessed With Getting That Done’

Ashton Kutcher may be best known for his work on screen, but it turns out country music has quietly become a big passion of his. Over the years, he’s slowly become a familiar face in the country scene, and now he’s taking that love for the genre to the next level.

In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Kutcher was asked about having a “healthy obsession.” He responded by casually revealing he’s currently working on writing a country music album.

“I don’t know if this is healthy or not. It might not be healthy. I decided I’m going to write a country music album,” he shared.

The actor acknowledged that while he loves the genre and the idea of creating his own music, he’s the first to admit that he’s “not a very good singer.” However, a lack of vocal talent isn’t stopping him from pursuing this dream.

“I’m going to do it anyway just because I want to write an album. I don’t care if anybody listens to it and they probably won’t and I’m okay with it, but I’ve just always wanted to write a country music album. So I’m obsessed with getting that done.”

While this news may have surprised some fans, Kutcher’s love for country music isn’t new. He has previously immersed himself in the community by presenting at the ACM Awards, making regular appearances at Stagecoach alongside his wife, Mila Kunis, and weaving country music into his Netflix series The Ranch. He’s even taken the stage with country star Thomas Rhett on multiple occasions.

He first joined Rhett on stage back in 2016 to perform a cover of Garth Brooks’ iconic “Friends In Low Places” at the Back Porch Revival, a benefit concert in Kutcher’s home state, Iowa. The concert supported The Native Fund, a charity Kutcher founded with former NFL player and Hawkeye Dallas Clark.

Kutcher and Rhett reunited years later for another memorable moment at Stagecoach. The That 70’s Show star appeared for a surprise performance of “Friends in Low Places” with Rhett and HARDY at the 2022 Stagecoach Festival.

Their connection has also led to an unexpected friendship offstage. Rhett and his wife Lauren have grown close with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis after first meeting at the Stagecoach Festival. Rhett told his label, Big Machine, that after the festival one year, Kutcher invited him and Lauren to dinner in L.A.

“Before we walked in we’re like crossing our fingers like ‘please be as cool as we think you are,’” he shared. “And we walked in and just immediately hit it off and we’ve gotten to become decently close with them. But I never in a million years would’ve dreamed that one of my favorite actors would have been a fan of mine without ever meeting him before.”

A release date for this potential country music album has yet to be shared. Whether or not Ashton Kutcher’s project ever reaches fans’ ears, it’s clear that his love for country music runs deep.

In the meantime, fans can catch Kutcher on the brand-new FX series The Beauty, premiering Wednesday, Jan. 21, at 9 p.m. ET on FX and Hulu.
