Thread: Ashton Kutcher near deal to replace Charlie Sheen on 'Two and a Half Men'

Ashton Kutcher near deal to replace Charlie Sheen on 'Two and a Half Men'
by James Hibberd

Ashton Kutcher is winning.

The actor is just about set to return to primetime TV as the new star of CBS’ Two and a Half Men, according to multiple reports.

First rumored earlier today as a potential replacement for Charlie Sheen, it would mark his return to the sitcom world where he first broke through on That ’70s Show. Hugh Grant was in talks for the role, and he could have been a great choice, but the Brit dropped out.

Kutcher playfully seemed to confirm reports on Twitter, giving fans asking him about the reports a wink and tweeting “what’s the square root of 6.25?”

I'm not really sure that Hugh Grant would be suitable for a serial and he might be a tad too British for the role, turning the programme into something it was never meant to be. I have never watched "2.5" and have no plans to do so, so that was supposition on my part.

Ashton Kutcher? Claim to fame? (apart from be married to you know who).

it could be an interesting experiment though.

You don't think that Hugh would unbalance the show permanently?

I don't know, but that might be a good thing.
