CBSAshton Kutcher has got this daddyhood thing down.
Or things are going pretty well so far, at least, since he and Mila Kunis welcomed daughter Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher exactly one month ago.
"I kind of have like, a hero complex a little bit," the Two and a Half Men star, appearing alongside co-star Jon Cryer, said on The Talk yesterday. "I'm somebody's hero now. It fulfills every bit of your ego when the kid starts to cry and you're like, 'Oh, I got this,' and you take it, and suddenly the child calms down, and you're like, 'Oh yeah!' You feel like you're like a baby whisperer."
Kutcher and Kunis may be on the tired side, but they wouldn't have it any other way.
Calling the whole parenting experience "pretty exceptional," Kutcher said that they didn't want to have a nanny or a night nurse at this time "and we're lucky enough that we have jobs that we can afford to spend time and be at home, or take time off if we need to."
And if they want to get out of the house, they just take Wyatt along! He and Mila brought the baby carrier with them on date night last Friday to a trendy vegan restaurant near their home in Studio City, Calif.
"Everybody says when you get a child, they don't come with an owner's manual, but that's kinda not true because Google's kind of like an owner's manual," the 35-year-old actor continued. "You can pretty much Google anything and it's there. For me, I go to my partner, you know? I talk to Mila, and we make choices. We did a lot of research—we both did like, a lot of research."
"I'd been a parent to teenage girls before in my life, and so I have experience with girls, and experience with that like, from age 7 to 25," Kutcher added, referring to ex-wife Demi Moore's three daughters. "But infants, it was like a whole new thing. So, we really started studying what it is to take care of a baby and how you do it, and the whole thing. It's all on Google, it's kinda there."
And presumably he and Mila did plenty of shopping before Wyatt's arrival too, but the ladies of The Talk wouldn't let him leave empty-handed. Check out their gift for Ashton and Mila's baby right here!
