Ashton Kutcher is the fully clothed cover boy for the 2011 February issue of Men’s Fitness. Inside this issue Ashton Kutcher discusses why he works out like crazy ... and it's not for a shallow L.A. goal but, to save his family when the world will come to an end ... Ok I would have liked the "shallow version" better because now I am wondering if he is serious or seriously paranoiac!
He really does think some massive world-crushing event will happen in his lifetime and that only the quickest and strongest will survive... well you know what!? If our world must come to an end I rather be among the first to be swiped out of the face of the earth than having to fight for some contaminated water and expired can food! Well that is unless Asthon offers us shelter in his survival sanctuary :-) You never know, maybe Demie will not feel like doing the dished at the river or preparing whatever Asthon will bring back from the hunt ...

Update: Because I have noticed some online re-posting of those photos, please note that I have photoshoped-out some part of the photos but if you wanna see the original shots as published in the magazine, click here.
"Kutcher says he trains because he believes all hell is going to break loose someday, and when it does, only the meanest, smartest and strongest will survive. He intends to be among them."
That’s why, as he jogs up the steepest of grades at Runyon Canyon near his Los Angeles home, he pretends he is being chased by wild boars or aliens, whatever civilization-crushing beings the 32-year-old mentally conjures up that day. It’s why he endures hours of blazing hot Bikram yoga, pretending he’s in the desert with no water. And it’s why he started learning Krav Maga, a hand-to-hand combat technique developed by the Israeli army and taught to special elite forces around the world. All of it in order to be prepared - for anything. “If the sh*t hits the fan,” Kutcher says, “you can get out of the sh*t…”
“It won’t take very much, I’m telling you,” he says passionately. “It will not take much for people to hit the panic button. The amount of convenience that people rely on based on electricity alone. You start taking out electricity and satellites, and people are going to lose their noodle.” He continues with exasperation. “People don’t have maps anymore,” he says, his voice rising with incredulity. “People use their iPhones or GPS systems, so if there’s no electricity, nobody has maps.
“And people are going to go, ‘That land’s not yours, prove that it’s yours,’ and the only thing you have to prove it’s yours is on an electric file. Then it’s like, ‘What’s the value of currency, and whose food is whose?’ People’s alarm systems at their homes will no longer work. Neither will our heating, our garbage disposals, hot-water heaters that run on gas but depend on electricity - what happens when all our modern conveniences fail? I’m going to be ready to take myself and my family to a safe place where they don’t have to worry.”
Talking to Kutcher, it’s easy to think that maybe his end-of-the-world rant is just another big Punk’d prank, but he’s serious. So serious, in fact, that one of his favorite memories in years was last Christmas, when he and his family lost power for 14 hours at their Southern California mountain cabin. “It was 20 below zero,” he says. “I got my guns out. We made a fire. We went to the grocery store, and the doors were open because they’re all electronic. People were rolling in and out, clearing out the shelves.
“I’m telling you, it was like a preview [of what's to come]… All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the end of day. I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I care about.”
