NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- That '70s Show actor Ashton Kutcher says The Beauty, his new FX horror series about a miracle drug that takes a deadly toll on the user and those around them, reflects many people's real-life obsession with staying young and looking good.
"It's not that far-fetched," Kutcher, 47, told reporters in a recent virtual press conference about the possibility that such a one-shot solution for improving one's looks could one day be created.
"By the way, do we think that the minute that happens that everyone's going to wait for FDA approval?" he added, noting we live in a world where the use of rapid weight-loss drugs like GLP-1's is "pervasive."
"Some of them are for health complications, others are just for aesthetic outcomes and then we have this increasing demand for cosmetic surgery, including tourism for cosmetic surgery and people augmenting themselves in order to achieve a look or a feel or a vibe that they think will give them some sort of advantage. Or maybe it will just make them happy," he added. "You start to ask questions like, 'Is that so wrong?'"
Kutcher plays a character called The Corporation in writer-producer Ryan Murphy's latest series, which airs on Wednesdays.
