Ashton Kutcher Punk'd On Superman Audition

Ashton Kutcher, Man of Steel?

In a casting proposal nearly as plausible as Kim Kardashian playing Mother Teresa, Ashton Kutcher was once asked to audition for the role of Superman.

Hey, while we’re at it, let’s see if Justin Bieber is available for the reboot of “The Incredible Hulk.”

During a press junket for “The Killers,” Kutcher’s latest box-office bomb, the lanky, goofy actor revealed that he once donned the iconic suit to do a screen test for “Superman Returns.” The project went on to be directed by Bryan Singer, but at the time was under the supervision of Brett Ratner.

“I wore the Superman suit. I did a screen test in the Superman suit,” said Kutcher. “There is (footage of my audition out there) with Keri Russell, who was reading Lois (Lane). There’s me in a Clark Kent outfit, and then there’s me in a Superman outfit.”

Even Kutcher himself admits the part “did not feel right....I was like a rail with fake muscles.”

In the interview, he goes on to claim that he could however play the role of He-Man. Presumably to prove it, Kutcher then launches into a deep-voiced, impromptu impersonation of the comic book character.

And FAIL.
