Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher has made a name in the acting world, but he started off in modeling. He was first an engineering student at the University of Iowa circa 1996. He was hanging out with friends at a bar when he was scouted by a talent agent who entered him in a modeling competition. Kutcher won first place and dropped out to pursue modeling full time. Fun fact: he once lost a modeling competition to Josh Duhamel.
