He's the one man I didn't think of when plotting my replacement for Charlie Sheen. But it looks like the Punk'd creator and former That ‘70s Show star is set to take the lead on Two and a Half Men.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Kutcher, should he accept the reported (but still unconfirmed) deal, will receive around $1 million per episode.
This news comes only days after Hugh Grant was said to be up for the role.
According to the Wall Street Journal and numerous other publications, Warner Bros. TWX and CBS CBS have yet to comment on the matter. Kutcher, however, teased his followers on Twitter with the message, “what's the square root of 6.25?” – a tweet the Journal believes is a likely reference to the number in the title of “Men.”
