Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak slams Ashton Kutchers portrayal of Steve Jobs Sneak peak at the upcoming movie about Steve Jobs played by Ashton Kutcher. Ashton Kutcher stars as the late Apple founder Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic jOBS, bearing a striking resemblance to Jobs, right in the 1970s. Picture: AFP Source: AFP APPLE co-founder, Steve Wozniak, says Ashton Kutcher has failed to capture late CEO Steve Jobs' likeness. Kutcher underwent a makeover to play the late Apple boss for an upcoming biopic jOBS, which did nothing to convince Wozniak. The actor's commitment included undertaking a fruitarian diet to prepare for the role, landing himself in hospital with pancreas issues as a result. Kutcher also studied the famed CEO's hunched walk and other mannerisms. Wozniak is said to have seen a leaked clip from the film online, of a scene in which he purportedly discusses the social impact of computers with Jobs. Wozniak is played in the film by Josh Gad. "Not close...we never had such interaction and roles..." he wrote in a statement to Gizmodo. I'm not even sure what it's getting at...personalities are very wrong although mine is closer.
