Getting small children to bed can be difficult. Parents know this. US actor Ashton Kutcher, however, had more problems than his daughter Wyatt's nightly visit, and he broke his toe.
The 41-year-old told the TV show "Live with Kelly and Ryan" that he and wife Mila Kunis are trying to get her daughter to sleep in her own bed. Nevertheless, when four-year-old Wyatt crawled into her parents' bed at night, it was up to Kutcher to take her back to her room.
"I thought: Okay, either my daughter is going to give me hell for 15 minutes now, or Mila tomorrow morning." Kutcher chose the first option and got out of bed, but noticed too late that his leg had fallen asleep. Kutcher crashed and broke his toe - that's what the actor said.
"I said, 'Um baby, I think you have to get Wyatt to bed,'" Kutcher said. He was afraid to turn on the lights because he did not want to see his toe. When he broke through, he saw that the toe pointed in the opposite direction.
At three o'clock in the morning, however, he did not want to call an ambulance. "So I did it like Mel Gibson in 'Lethal Weapon': I just turned it back," Kutcher said.
His wife Mila Kunis was impressed by her husband's pragmatism: "She said, 'This is the hottest thing I've seen' and I said, 'I'd break my toe every night, baby'".
Kutcher and Kunis met while filming the US series The Wild Seventies. Since 2012 they are a couple and since 2015 married. The two have two children: daughter Wyatt and son Dimitri.
