New from People Magazine:

Michael Kutcher didn’t want his brother Ashton Kutcher to reveal he has cerebral palsy — and was angry when his famous sibling did.

In a TV interview in 2003, Ashton, 43, talked about Michael’s disorder, even though Michael often tried to hide it.
“I was very angry. Very angry. I remember speaking to him about it,” Michael, now 43, told Today Parents on Thursday. “I didn’t want to be the face of CP. I never talked about it.

In the end, it’s helped change Michael’s life for the better, and he’s no longer angry with Ashton, who he and his family call Chris (his first name).

“Chris did me the biggest favor he’s ever done because he allowed me to be myself,” Michael, who was diagnosed cerebral palsy when he was three, explained.
