HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Ashton Kutcher is not a morning person.
On Thursday, the 30-year-old actor went on a tirade after awakening to the sound of jackhammers next door. Kutcher posted a video on the Web site Qik.com, sharing his displeasure with his "f---in' jackass neighbor" whose construction project awakened him at 7:30 a.m.
"I'm gonna' lose it on this guy," said Kutcher. "This has been going on for four months now! This guy has got another thing comin'."
Kutcher's outburst didn't go unnoticed. His neighbor, later identified as screenwriter Bruce Goldsmith, responded by telling TMZ that the star was "out of line." Goldsmith went on to point out the irony that neighbors had to listen to the sound of construction on Kutcher's home for 10 years.
"They don't make hammers covered with rubber," Goldsmith told TMZ, while also pointing out that construction in the city is allowed to begin at 7 a.m.
By the afternoon, Kutcher had cooled, eventually posting another video to apologize for his outburst.
"I've calmed down from my morning spazz-out. You're very vulnerable at 7 a.m.," explained Kutcher. "I like my alarm clock to be a nice tune, like John Mayer or something like that. But in light of reflection, I just want to say, I will be more tolerant of my neighbor's construction in the morning, as he tolerated my construction at my home."
Kutcher's change of attitude was even more apparent on Friday, as he went about tossing Vitamin Water to construction workers and even giving them a taste of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," a scene straight out of the film"Say Anything."
