Busking violinist Justus Rivera, 13, became an internet sensation after Kutcher saw him playing on the streets in Philadelphia.
The actor was so amazed with the pint-sized musician’s skills, he made a video of his performance and posted it online.
Thanks to his popular Twitter updates, the video soon became an internet hit.
Rivera, who mixes classic songs with the likes of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal, was invited on the Ellen talk show on US television and told of his chance encounter with Kutcher as he played to a crowd.
“I was doing the best I could and there was a bunch of people around me,” he said. “When the crowd started dying down some tall guy started walking towards me and I thought, ‘Oh man, that’s Ashton Kutcher!’
“He was walking towards me and I was so nervous. He was walking around and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I think it’s him!’
“He stopped the video recording, I looked at him and he said, ‘Yeah’.”
The actor then gave him $20 before walking away and making him famous.
Kutcher posted a link to his video on his Twitter account, saying: “I came across this young man sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot.”
Rivera told Ellen DeGeneres he had stopped playing the violin after some lessons but then realised he could make money busking so he took it up again.
He now makes $200-$500 a day and is putting most of it towards going to university.

Ashton Kutcher has been joking about the Kanye West and Taylor Swift MTV VMAs incident by posting a joke on his Twitter page.
Ashton, 31, who is married to actress Demi Moore, uploaded a text he was sent on to the social networking site joking about Kanye’s behaviour.
He wrote on his Twitter page: “BREAKING NEWS… Kanye West just interrupted Patrick Swayzes funeral 2 let every1 know Michael Jacksons death was better <-text I just got.”
Kanye, 32, shocked fans when he stormed the stage at the recent MTV Video Music Awards during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video to say Beyonce, another contender for the gong, should have won.
Demi Moore denied she will appear on husband Ashton Kutcher’s series The Beautiful Life.
Moore, 46, was seen helping Kutcher on the New York set of the show which charts the story of a group of aspiring models in the cut-throat fashion capital.
But the actress through her representatives said she is not about to act in the show. Rumours swirled that she was to appear as a former model obsessed with plastic surgery. “[The rumours are] completely false. There are no plans for Demi to make an appearance on The Beautiful Life,” the rep said.
Moore was also caught up denying other rumours that she had had plastic surgery. She said: “It’s completely false – I’ve never had it done. I would never judge those who have – if it’s the best thing for them then I don’t see a problem. But I don’t like the idea of having an operation to hold up the ageing process – it’s a way to combat your neurosis. The scalpel won’t make you happy.”
Mischa Barton and Elle Macpherson are stars on Kutcher’s The Beautiful Life series.
That ’70s Show actress Mila Kunis says she gets into so many accidents that her black-and-blue body is “always bruised up”.
The 26-year-old actress said: “I had a snowboarding accident. I fell off a horse. I’ve had concussion, a fractured rib… I walk into walls. I’m always bruised up.”
In fact, the Ukraine-born actress happily showed off her latest scar that stretches across her throat. She got it while “being stupid” on a jet ski in Hawaii, she says.
Kunis moved from the Soviet Union to Los Angeles with her family when she was seven.
She learned English while watching The Price is Right.
But although one of her first jobs was playing the younger version of supermodel Gia Carangi, in the TV movie starring Angelina Jolie, she says her parents never let her get too big-headed.
“I had a normal upbringing and went to public school,” says Kunis, who admits that co-star Ashton Kutcher helped her with her science homework when they were on That ’70s Show.
“If I ever, even for a second, started getting a big head, I was brought back to reality pretty quickly. I was working full time and still had to fight for a cell phone.
“Then, the car thing came around. Oh, my God. You would have thought I was asking for a private jet! I kicked and screamed and I got my stupid car.”
Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher said he has “no desire” to watch wife Demi Moore making out with guys on-screen.
Kutcher, 31, addressed rumours that he had said he gets jealous at watching his wife’s love scenes in movies.
He said: “I never said that I get jealous. I just don’t like to watch them. I have no desire to see her making out with another dude.”
Kutcher also spoke about what his wife thinks about his on-screen relationships with co-stars such as Cameron Diaz.
He told Britain’s OK! magazine: “She [Demi] is really proud of me. It’s my job – what we do is that we go to work. If you’re in a healthy relationship, your partner roots for you at work to win and do well. Our job is to sell relationships to audiences and make it believable.”
Britain’s Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi is “upset” after someone set up a fake Twitter page for him and was contacted by Lily Allen and Ashton Kutcher.
The 12-year-old singer, who is one of the favourites to win the show, is upset after the imposter had conversations with the stars who thought the page belonged to the real Shaheen.
Shaheen’s agent Mark Jermin said: “Shaheen is upset that people are posing as him on Twitter. Shaheen does not have a Twitter page.”
He added: “What is most annoying is he is a huge Lily Allen fan and would love to meet her or maybe even duet with her.”
The imposter received messages from Ashton Kutcher, 31, and wrote on Kutcher’s wife Demi Moore’s page.
Lily, 24, was a little more dubious of who was behind the real page.
She posted a message saying: “Take a picture of yourself holding a copy of today’s newspaper and post it on twitpic. Or don’t bother.”

Two of Twitter’s most famous users, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, have expressed concern about the site’s potential for stalkers if a proposed reality show goes ahead.
“I don’t want to be stalked!” wrote Kutcher on the site.
“It’s all fun and games until someone gets stalked,” he continued.
Kutcher’s tweeting drew worldwide attention when he posted photos of Moore apparently while she was steaming his clothes.
Twitter has this week reportedly announced it is working with Brillstein Entertainment Partners to develop an unscripted series based on the site that would have competitors trail celebrities in an interactive format.
Moore reportedly wrote that she hoped the news wasn’t true: “If it is, our Twitter time may come to quick and sad end!”
