Split Image: Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs
Another new image shows the uncanny
resemblance between the late Steve Jobs and Ashton Kutcher, who is
playing him in an upcoming biopic.
Spot the difference: Ashton Kutcher tweeted a split photograph, showing
half of his face on the left, alongside Steve Jobs' right side. The
actor is playing the Apple co-founder in an upcoming biopic
The latest split-screen picture,
which has Kutcher's face on the left half and Jobs' on the right, shows
the Apple co-founder later in life, with a receding hairline. Kutcher
posted it on Twitter, thanking the Sundance Film Festival for its
support of the movie. Earlier this week another split picture was
released, showing Jobs - who passed away in October 2011 - in his younger years, with a shoulder-length glossy brown mane (this one Jobs left, Kutcher right).

Both images show the likeness the
two men share - and also exemplifies the expert make-up and styling that
has enabled Kutcher to play Jobs at varying stages throughout his life. The make-up artists on the film, jOBS, who
turned Kutcher, 34, into the tech genius have extensive experience on
some of the most complicated makeup productions in recent years.
Kutcher's personal make-up artist, James MacKinnon, has worked on Thor, the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Alice in Wonderland and Star Trek, according to his IMDb profile . Another one of the make-up experts, Louis Lazzara, was most recently apart of the crew on Lincoln that turned Daniel Day Lewis into the nation's 16th president.

Kutcher's devotion to the role went beyond the physical.
He interviewed many of Jobs' friends and
watched hundreds of his speeches to pick up on as many characteristics
as he could. Kutcher
also sacrificed his body for the role when he fell ill after adopting a
fruit-only diet, which Jobs famously adhered to. 'First of all, the
fruitarian diet can lead to like severe issues. 'I
went to the hospital like two days before we started shooting the
movie. I was doubled over in pain. My pancreas levels were like
completely out of whack. It was really terrifying ... considering
everything,' Kutcher explained last week at the Sundance Film Festival
where jOBS debuted.

From the film: This image comes from a pivotal scene in jOBS when the two men discuss the creation of personal computing
Apple co-founder and tech guru Steve Wozniak wasn't impressed with what he's seen so far.
On
the eve of the film's premiere at Sundance Film Festival, Wozniak said
that the creators behind iJobs got a pivotal scene 'totally wrong.' In
the clip released Thursday, Jobs, portrayed by Ashton Kutcher, tries to
convince Wozniak, played by Josh Gad, that consumers would be
interested in buying personal computers if only they were available.
'Nobody wants to buy a computer...nobody,' he tells Jobs. However,
Wozniak claims that in real life, the roles in the argument were
actually reversed, CBS News reported.
