Ashton is a practicing follower of Kabbalah, the Jewish religious mysticism. His wife Mila, who is Jewish, has said of him, “Ashton when we started dating, [was] very religious, very religious, very Jewish,” though he has not formally converted to Judaism.
Ashton’s paternal grandfather was Earl F. Kutcher (the son of Michael John “Mike” Kutcher and Alice Beth Sedlacek). Earl was born in Iowa. Michael was born in Iowa, the son of Czech parents, Jan “John” Kučera and Anna Lenoč/Lenoch. The surname Kucera was later changed to Kutcher. Alice was also born in Iowa, the daughter of František “Frank” Sedláček and Anna Novotny, who were also Czech.
Ashton’s paternal grandmother was Adeline Mary Fisher (the daughter of Frank Fisher and Frances “Fannie” Drtina). Adeline was born in Iowa, and was also of Bohemian (Czech) descent. Frank was the son of Joseph Fisher and Anne Drtina.

Donald’s parents, Mathias Koenighain and Ida Mae Brent/Brant, were both of German descent. Their families had lived in the United States, including specifically Pennsylvania, for many generations, and some of their ancestry was Swiss-German. Leona was the daughter of Czech parents, Michael John Kutcher and Alice Beth Sedlacek.
Ashton’s paternal grandfather Earl F. Kutcher was the brother of Ashton’s maternal great-grandmother Leona Alice Kutcher. Thus, Ashton’s parents are first cousins, once removed.

I have seen Ashton Kutcher HIMSELF saying that he has native american ancestry. I think it was on “punk’d”, or something else on MTV. Anyone else remember that? I’m 100% sure. He doesn’t look fully white to me. His wife Demi is also said to have some native or mexican, she is from new mexico and her name is “Demetria”. Another one I read has Mohawk ancestry is Richard Dean Anderson, “MacGyver”. :) It was on wikipedia but someone erased it!
Demi has Native ancestry, it’s “official”. Ashton’s old nose didn’t look that white, and yeah, he doesn’t look totally white.
You can see Amerindian or Bohemian ancestry in his physical appearance, such as the broad face, broad shoulders and other traits.
Unknown, quite a few sites say that he has Native American ancestry but they dont provide a good source.
