Ashton Kutcher's twin Michael told actor not to pity his cerebral palsy, says 'jealousy' drove them apart - USA TODAY

Ashton Kutcher and his twin brother Michael are opening up about the "jealousy" that caused a rift in their relationship.

"For my brother to be born with cerebral palsy, then have a heart transplant, then have this random blood clot, these things that you’re just like, ‘Who has to go through that?' " Kutcher, 44, said in a clip from the interview published by Entertainment Tonight on Monday.

According to Mayo Clinic, cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects "movement and muscle tone or posture." Michael was diagnosed at the age of 3 and told Today in May 2021 that he attempted to hide it for most of his life.

Ashton Kutcher's twin Michael says he was 'very angry' when actor revealed brother's cerebral palsy.

"Chris did me the biggest favor he’s ever done because he allowed me to be myself," Michael said.

He wanted them to treat me with respect,” Michael said
