Ashton Kutcher is opening up about his 2019 health scare — and his doctor says wife Mila Kunis was key to his recovery.
The actor, who first revealed his health struggle during an episode of National Geographic’s Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge in August, suffered from a rare form of autoimmune disease vasculitis.
The disease occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own blood vessels, causing inflammation and narrowing in the vessels.
For Ashton, 44, the “terrifying, life-threatening” experience happened all of a sudden, he revealed during a candid conversation with his physician for the premiere episode of Paramount Plus’ The Checkup with Dr. David Agus.
“I woke up one day and was having vision issues, could hardly see,” he told Agus, as seen in a clip shared by CBS News. “Knocked out my hearing, which threw off my equilibrium, my balance and I couldn’t walk.”
