Ashton Kutcher’s transformation into Steve Jobs for the upcoming movie jOBS was often difficult — but at least visually, the results are impressive.

The actor recently tweeted a portrait of a face that’s split between the image of the real Jobs and one of Kutcher’s portrayal.

It’s a pretty striking resemblance.

While the first preview clip that’s been released for the film shows Kutcher as Jobs in the late Apple founder’s younger days, the “split” picture features the actor mimicking the tech leader’s more recent look with wire-rim glasses and a graying beard.

What do you think of the likeness?

Are you looking forward to seeing Kutcher’s performance?

Ashton Kutcher plays iconic Apple founder Steve Jobs in the upcoming jOBS — and his commitment to the role landed him in the hospital.

Speaking with the Associated Press at the movie’s Sundance Film Festival premiere on Friday, Kutcher explained that he adopted Jobs’ “fruitarian diet” as part of his preparation, which “can lead to some serious issues.”

“I ended up in the hospital two days before we started shooting the movie,” said Kutcher. “I was like doubled over in pain, and my pancreas levels were completely out of whack, which was completely terrifying, considering everything.”

Jobs died of complications from pancreatic cancer in 2011.

Kutcher’s health scare wasn’t the only frightening element of the project.

Playing the legendary tech and business leader, especially so soon after his death, felt like a risky proposition to the actor.

“It was kind of like throwing myself into this gauntlet [of] massive amounts of criticism because somebody’s going to go, ‘Well, it wasn’t exactly…’” explains Kutcher, who called the part “one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever tried to do in my life.”
