In a clip from the programme released ahead of its broadcast, the star and venture capitalist told host Grylls that the affliction had come on two years ago, and it had taken a year to recover. Kutcher, known for his roles in That ’70s Show and The Butterfly Effect, added that he was “lucky to be alive” after what had been “a terrifying journey”, but one that made him strong and resilient.
