Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple with Steve Jobs, says that he is happy Ashton Kutcher has been cast to play Steve Jobs in a new biopic about Jobs’ life.
Wozniak released a statement expressing his thoughts about Kutcher’s new acting role, playing the late Steve Jobs, saying “The fear that many might have is that Ashton was selected because he’s ‘hot’ right now. But I feel that his selection was done in the most professional manner. And I’m glad that he’s onboard. I think he’ll put a lot into it and that he cares about this particular subject.”

Wozniak says that it would have been nice to have Jobs help Kutcher nail his exact character, saying “It’s almost too bad that Steve Jobs is gone. His opinions and guidance, as to the story and film crew and cast would have been invaluable.”
Lastly, Wozniak hopes that Kutcher not only gets the part right, but hopes the film ‘tells the truth’, saying “My hopes are that this film turns out as truthful and genuine as possible. I can’t judge that aspect until the film is done and I see it.”
