Part 3/8:
The notion that looks are a primary currency in Hollywood is widely acknowledged, and Kutcher’s experience is no exception. The entertainment industry often favors actors who fit a particular aesthetic, sometimes at the expense of talent or depth. For example, Jennifer Aniston, famed for her role on Friends, is often cited as a case of someone who benefited from attractive looks and connections rather than traditional acting prowess. Aniston herself has been open about how her career was partly fueled by her appearance and network rather than solely her acting skills.
