Kutcher pays tribute to wife and kids in an emotional speech

Ashton Kutcher thanked his wife, Mila Kunis, and their two kids for helping him become a good person as the actor accepted an award at the Ron Pearson Center in West Des Moines, Iowa.
The 39-year-old actor was honoured with Robert D Ray Pillar of Character Award, which is given annually to "individuals who demonstrate good character as a role model," reported Entertainment Tonight.
Kutcher began his 16-minute speech by joking that he was probably the first person to receive the award "who had a deferred judgement for a felony burglary for trying to break into his high school" at the age of 18 and had his "name splashed across every gossip magazine as an adulterer, like, five years ago."

However, he said his missteps in the past have taught him "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you learn from the mistakes that you make and how you perceive the world that's coming at you."
Kutcher then dedicated the award to his wife, saying "I'm telling you, this morning, I woke up and she kicked my a** on character.
"I thought I was awesome because I got up early and helped with the kids before she woke up and I let her sleep a little bit and then she's like, 'Well, now you're gonna act tired? I do it every day.' But it was a character moment, right? Because she's right."

Kutcher and Kunis tied the knot in July 2015. They share two kids together-- two-year-old daughter Wyatt and four-month-old son Dimitri.
"When my wife and I had these kids and we got to share that amazing honour, my first response was, I wanted to call my parents and say, 'I'm sorry, because I never knew how much you loved me,'" he recalled.
