Ashton Kutcher has blessed us on the cover of the most recent Men’s Fitness magazine. Sorry, ladies he did not pose topless for this one. Instead he kept it traditional and kept his shirt on and discussed how he works out all the time for his family. Kutcher says he trains and trains because he believes there will be an apocolypse soon and wants to be able to save his family. You may think this is a joke, but Kutcher was very serious.
Mens Fitness:
Kutcher says he trains because he believes all hell is going to break loose someday, and when it does, only the meanest, smartest and strongest will survive. He intends to be among them.
That’s why, as he jogs up the steepest of grades at Runyon Canyon near his Los Angeles home, he pretends he is being chased by wild boards or aliens, whatever civilization-crushing beings the 32-year-old mentally conjures up that day. It’s why he endures hours of blazing hot Bikram yoga, pretending he’s in the desert with no water. And it’s why he started learning Krav Maga, a hand-to-hand combat technique developed by the Israeli army and taught to special elite forces around the world. All of it in order to be prepared – for anything. “If the sh*t hits the fan,” Kutcher says, “you can get out of the sh*t…”
He says that in the practice [of Krav] he found his purpose: saving his loved ones from Armageddon.
“It won’t take very much, I’m telling you,” he says passionately. “It will not take much for people to hit the panic button. The amount of convenience that people rely on based on electricity alone. You start taking out electricity and satellites, and people are going to lose their noodle.” He continues
with exasperation. “People don’t have maps anymore,” he says, his voice rising with incredulity. “People use their iPhones or GPS systems, so if there’s no electricity, nobody has maps.
“And people are going to go, ‘That land’s not yours,
prove that it’s yours,’ and the only thing you have to prove it’s yours is on an electric file. Then it’s like, ‘What’s the value of currency, and whose food is whose?’ People’s alarm systems at their homes will no longer work. Neither will our heating, our garbage disposals, hot-water heaters that run on gas but depend on electricity – what happens when all our modern conveniences fail? I’m going to be ready to take myself and my family to a safe place where they don’t have to worry.”
Talking to Kutcher, it’s easy to think that maybe his end-of-the-world rant is just another big Punk’d prank, but he’s serious. So serious, in fact, that one of his favorite memories in years was last Christmas, when he and his family lost power for 14 hours at their Southern California mountain cabin. “It was 20 below zero,” he says. “I got my guns out. We made a fire. We went to the grocery store, and the doors were open because they’re all electronic. People were rolling in and out, clearing out the shelves.
“I’m telling you, it was like a preview [of what's to come]… All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the end of day. I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I care about.”
I think Ashton is smart and could be right. I mean who knows when anything crazy will happen. I mean I don’t believe the apocolypse will involve flesh eating zombies or anything, but most likely a big war. If it is going to be a nuclear war, then Ashton may want to skip out on the training and move to somewhere very secluded in the mountains or something. I am sure he already has a spot picked out along with a bunker if he is this paranoid. Oh, well it is a good motivational tool.
