Ashton Kutcher (aka Mr. Demi Moore) is featured in an artistic futuristic cover and spread in the new VMan (spring/summer 2008) where he plays a robot being repaired. The "I'M NOT REAL" photo shoot was done by famous photographer Mario Testino,
The concept of the shoot was Ashton's, "I had a vision one day. I was watching one of those Gatorade commercials where they had a guy on a treadmill, and they're testing to see what his physical abilities are. I had this idea: what did the creator—God or whatever—make you for? Maybe we're all doing exactly what we're supposed to be doing, and we're all actually robots."
The "I'm Not Real" shoot leaves us with an important question: is the considerably big bulge in the CK briefs real or not?
