He revealed that the rare disease took his hearing and seeing capacity. It also left him unable to walk.

Kutcher confessed:

‘I had this weird, super rare form of vasculitis, that like knocked out my vision, it knocked out my hearing, it knocked out like all my equilibrium,’

The actor who is married to Mila Kunis said he was thankfully able to recover from the disease but it took him a full year to ‘build it all back up.’

For those who don’t know, Vasculitis is a rare disease that involves the inflammation of the blood vessels causing the walls to thicken, and reducing the width of the passageway through the vessel.

Kutcher confessed that his experience with the illness gave him a new-found perspective on his health and his senses. The Jobs actor confessed that he never realized how important the senses were until he lost them.

The human rights activist admitted:

‘You don’t really appreciate it, until it’s gone,’
