Screen Rant noted that Ashton Kutcher decided the time was right for him to leave “That ’70s Show” following Season 7. His character, Michael Kelso, had shockingly welcomed a baby at a young age and decided to move on with his life following the birth of his daughter. The character was written off the show when Kelso decided to move to Chicago and take a job as a security guard at the Playboy Club. Ever the ladies’ man, the job was a perfect fit for Kelso.
Meanwhile, Kutcher really decided not to renew his contract with the show when he began to get movie offers. The actor decided to focus on his movie career, which turned out to be a good decision on his part. Kutcher went on to star in films such as “Just Married,” “The Butterfly Effect,” “Jobs,” and more (via IMDb). He also eventually returned to television on “Two and a Half Men” and “The Ranch.” However, while focusing on his movie chops, Kutcher didn’t forget the gig that launched his career. The actor returned to “That ’70s Show” for four guest appearances on the series throughout the final season. He also returned, along with Topher Grace, for the series finale of the comedy show, per IGN.
