Ashton Kutcher is quite the handyman. To research a role, he followed around a closet installer from the Closet Factory and even did some work himself. He went to a client’s home and Mr. Closet Man installed a tie rack.

“The client was shocked that a celebrity was installing his closet,” says our snitch. “But he was such a great guy. Just a decent, normal guy.”

He did the work on Wednesday in New York City, which was the same day that a major storm hit the area. And what a guy, he even helped clean up the Closet Factory’s Long Island City offices, which was flooded.
