We’ve seen a number of images of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in recent weeks as the Two and a Half Men star films the upcoming indie biopic jOBS. But these, which show Kutcher portraying Apple’s co-founder and former CEO under the influence of LSD, are possibly the most colorful so far.
Jobs revealed in a number of interviews that he had experimented with LSD while he was heavily involved in Zen Buddhism, and later called this “one of the two or three most important things [he had] done in [his] life.” He also said that his lifelong rival Bill Gates would “be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once.”

Wow, that’s actually exactly as he had described it. Only Chrisianne Brenan was there with him if I’m not mistaken.
So they are copying the scenes from “Pirates of Silicon Valley?” Creative. I have to admit that Kutcher does look like Jobs in most of the pictures we have seen though. Should be interesting.

Why do movies and books always trivialise Acid? This makes it look like he took a happy pill or had an extra martini with lunch, not gone on a life changing Acid trip. Are there no scriptwriters that have actually been on a trip?
I wonder if they’ll include evidence from his arrest record:

mr_bee, the acid scenes in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) were not trivial and actually looked like a trip!
