Is Ashton Kutcher ready to take a bite out of THIS apple? The two and a half men star is set to play legendary apple co-founder Steve Jobs in a indie biopic about the technology mogul’s life, called simply Jobs. With Ashton’s uncanny resemblance to the late Apple CEO in his younger years, the project is due to begin filming in May. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film will follow the rise of Jobs from his time as a hippie in northern California, to leading apple as its CEO and co-founder. A step up from his start on That 70’s Show, this will be one of Ashton’s most notable non-comedic roles to date. Reaction from Jobs fans about the casting has been mixed so far.

Apple CEO and founder Steve Jobs, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a years-long battle with cancer and other health issues. He is pictured at the opening of the Apple store in SoHo in Manhattan in July 2002.
