Imagine waking up one day unable to see, hear, or walk after being healthy for most of your life.
Famous actor Ashton Kutcher faced this scary situation a few years ago. Recently, he talked about it on a health show called The Checkup With Dr. David Agus.
In 2019, Kutcher suddenly lost his ability to see, hear, and walk. He said he had a serious illness called vasculitis. This illness attacks and inflames blood vessels.

Kutcher explained that he woke up one day with vision problems, then lost his hearing and couldn’t walk properly. Vasculitis thickens blood vessel walls, which can cause many problems, like blood clots or damage to organs.
The illness can affect anyone, whether they’re healthy or not, and the effects can last a short or long time.
Kutcher said it was scary not being able to see or hear properly. He wanted to regain his health.

Now 44 years old, Kutcher talked about how he started to get better. He mentioned his mental strength in making a full recovery, even running a marathon recently.
Kutcher’s twin brother, Michael, has cerebral palsy. Kutcher talked about how this made him appreciate life more. He said facing death at a young age made him realize the importance of doing things while he can.
He also praised his wife, Mila Kunis, for her support during his illness. They met while working on a TV show and got married in 2015. They have two kids together.
Kutcher’s story is scary, but it shows how important it is to talk about medical issues and how supportive loved ones can be in tough times.
