"How do I get to be this lucky? And for my brother to be born with cerebral palsy, then have a heart transplant, then have this random blood clot," Ashton confessed in a teaser clip released by Entertainment Tonight. "These things where you’re like, ‘Who has to go through that? How do I get to be this lucky?'" 

The ‘That 70s Show’ alum further explained what transformed his perspective and finally allowed him to stop comparing his life to his brother's. "There was a moment in all of this where I moved to New York and was starting to get some traction with my career and Mike came out to visit and stay, and he looked at me and he said, ‘Every time you feel sorry for me, you make me less,'" Ashton recounted. "He said, ‘This is the only life I’ve ever known, so stop feeling sorry for the only thing I have.’ And that then created an entire shift back to where I think we are today, which is straight-up equals. That’s it."

The interview takes another emotional turn when the 44-year-old actor opened up about his health struggles whereas dealing with his family's health scares. Ashton was seen in tears while talking about his twin brother, who nearly died in the hospital after diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. "So then my dad comes, picks me up, and it's like, we're going to go see your brother and I'm like … everything is not okay," Kutcher recalled with his eyes tearing up.

"And he flatlines in the room," he continued. "And I know that noise because now I've been visiting occasionally and watching the thing go and then it flatlines out and they're like, you've got to dun dun dun and they're grabbing me and they take me out and I'm like, what the hell is going [on]?" The teaser clip is cut abruptly as the brothers are seen sharing a touching moment as Michael grabs Ashton's hand while the latter wipes away his tears.
