Ashton Kutcher is getting toned and tough - so he can fend for himself and look after his family following an Armageddon-type crisis.
The movie star and producer, who is married to health nut Demi Moore, fears a major U.S. energy meltdown is nigh and he's trying to get superfit so he can deal with the chaos that will follow a blackout or worse.
Kutcher discovered combat training Krav Maga last year as he prepared to tone up for his role in Killers and now he's obsessed with running, Bikram yoga and Muay Thai fighting with the French national champion - and he insists he's committed to his extreme workouts, so he can dominate in desperate times.
The 32 year old tells Men's Fitness magazine, "It will not take much for people to hit the panic button. The amount of convenience that people rely on based on electricity alone. You start taking out electricity and satellites, and people are going to lose their noodle.
"And people are going to go, 'That land's not yours, prove that it's yours,' and the only thing you have to prove it's yours is on an electronic file... People's alarm systems at their homes will no longer work, Neither will our heating, our garbage disposals, hot-water heaters that run on gas but depend on electricity.
"What happens when all our modern conveniences fail? I'm going to be ready to take myself and my family to a safe place where they don't have to worry... All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the end... I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I care about."
And he admits he tasted what life could be like after a major national or international calamity when he, Moore and her kids were left without power for 14 hours at their mountain cabin last Christmas.
He adds, "I got my guns out. We made a fire. We went to the grocery store... People were rolling in and out, clearing out all the shelves... It was like a preview."
How can he cheat on her from a bomb shelter?
MOONBAT
All his preparation won’t help him a bit.
14 hours!!?
“Être fort pour être utile”—”Be strong to be useful.” — George Hebert (1875-1957)
Sounds sober and lucid too me.
If he wants to "dominate in desperate times", he'd be better served to forget about that stuff and get some extra range time...
Sounds like someone just read “One Second After” where the stirrings revolves around a massive EMP blast.
One quibble with Ashton, ( btw never trust a guy named Ashton,) most local counties keep deed and property info on hard file. The problem during such an event isn’t trying recover said property info, it’ll be fendin off people looking to take it by force. These people wouldn’t care what a piece of paper said plus there would be little to no government to enforce/defend your property.
Actually, this is a good sign. Even the moonbat morons are seeing a real possibility of their cushy lives coming to an end. This is a good sign, you have to first admit we have problem collectively.
Well, he just kicked himself out of the liberal club. He got his “guns” out??? No true liberal would ever own a gun. And they would invite the people who are panicking into their homes and share their wealth with them. Wouldn’t they??
Can't argue with him on that.
14 hours without power?!?! Tragedy!!
Here in the west we call that a break. Vacations last for 48+ hours without power.
I guess he watched 2012.
But does he have any bullets?
I believe he’s originally from the midwest so there must be some kind of sense in him as long as he isn’t from a city.
he’s obsessed with running, Bikram yoga and Muay Thai fighting with the French national champion - and he insists he’s committed to his extreme workouts, so he can dominate in desperate times.
While he’s still in the movies, reminds me of the Indiana Jones sketch, the muzzie is swinging his sword violently until Indy pulls out a gun and shoots him, keep training ass-ton
Exactly. I’ve yet to see anyone karate chop a speeding bullet.
wow. got guns out after only 14 hrs? sounds like they're fun neighbors.
