Ashton Kutcher talks about Wife Mila Kunis’s Support Through 'Life-Threatening' Health issue

Ashton Kutcher had a lot to face, but he was not alone.

Ashton Kutcher is speaking up about a health scare he had in 2019 and how his wife, Mila Kunis, was crucial to his recovery, according to his doctor.

The "terrifying, life-threatening" encounter for Ashton, 44, came on suddenly, he admitted in an open interview for the pilot episode of Paramount Plus' The Checkup with Dr. David Agus.

According to Agus, Ashton has made "impressive" strides with both his vision and hearing since his year-long battle against the disease in 2019, according to Entertainment Tonight.

There seems to be only one person who can truly be thanked for the actor from Butterfly Effect being able to make such advancements.

"I will say, your wife was amazing," Agus said of Kunis, 39. "Just curled up there by your side. It was a beautiful thing to watch."

Ashton concurred, stating, "She's the best," praising his wife of seven years.

The actor has a rare type of the inflammatory disease vasculitis, which he first discussed on an episode of National Geographic's Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge in August.

The condition develops when the body's immune system unintentionally targets its blood vessels, leading to inflammation and vascular narrowing.
