The 39-year-old actor and father of two received the Robert D. Ray Pillar of Character Award at the Ron Pearson  Center in West Des Moines, Iowa last Saturday, April 8, 2017. This award was given to Kutcher in recognizing his good character and as being a role model. Upon receiving the said award, the actor gives credit to his family especially his wife actress Mila Kunis in shaping his character as a father and as an individual.

Kutcher started his speech with a joke and looked back to his past experiences where at 18 he was arrested for felony burglary. He even goes back to the time where his name appears on gossip magazines and said to be an adulterer. However, Kutcher inspired many through saying that he was taught by his mistakes in the past and even said that it's not about winning or losing but about learning from mistakes and perceiving the world that's coming in.
