Renowned American actor Ashton Kutcher was seen in tears while talking about his twin brother Michael, who nearly died in the hospital. When Kutcher's sibling was young, he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a serious health condition where the heart of a person becomes four times the size it should be.

In a heart wrenching interview, Ashton disclosed how he was willing to give up on his own life to help his brother by donating his heart. Ashton also talked about the terrifying incident in which he nearly lost his brother in a preview clip for the new Paramount Plus series The Checkup With Dr. David Argus.

Sobbing in tears, Ashton in the clip can be seen saying, ‘So then my dad comes, picks me up, and it’s like, “We’re going to go see your brother” and I’m like everything is not ok.’


‘And he flatlines in the room. And I know that noise because now I’ve been visiting occasionally and watching the thing go and it flatlines out,’ Kutcher said.
