An American Story: Everyone’s InvitedAn American Story: Everyone’s Invited. Throughout the e-book, the NCIS star recalled his days working together with his That ’70s Show castmates and his expertise immigrating from Venezuela to California. Some of the largest highlights from his memoir delve into particular reminiscences, together with a daunting airplane emergency and the obvious “rivalry” that he and co-star Ashton Kutcher shared.

Hollywood Life has rounded up the largest highlights from Wilmer’s e-book, under.

The Plane Emergency

At one level within the e-book, Wilmer recalled a terrifying “shaky” aircraft trip with a few of his That ’70s Show co-stars, together with Ashton and Danny Masterson, in line with Us Weekly. 

“A group of actors and insiders is flying back to Hollywood from New Orleans after the Super Bowl, but nothing is smooth about this flight,” Wilmer defined within the memoir. “A winter storm rages across the skies, and the mood on board is shaky. … Outside is nothing but darkness and sleet. The plane is pitching up, down, side to side. I’m feeling lightheaded. It’s getting hard to breathe.”

Soon, the pilot signaled that they had been in for a bumpy trip; Wilmer recalled the oxygen masks dropping from the highest.

“Oxygen masks drop from the ceiling, and I wonder if they dropped because the turbulence shook them loose or if it’s something else,” Wilmer wrote within the e-book. “We fumble with our masks. Something is definitely not right with this plane. … Ashton’s jaw has dropped to his lap.”

After considering that their aircraft was “going down,” the actor remembered “struggling to imagine a best-case scenario if [they were to] crash high on a mountainside, and they can’t find us.”

Despite the harrowing ordeal, Wilmer managed to include some wit into the story. In one excerpt, the Grey’s Anatomy alum quipped that in the event that they had been stranded within the mountains, “Ashton’s gonna wonder who to eat first. It’s probably gonna be me, because he loves Latin American food.”

Once the plan lastly landed, Wilmer identified their complete group “let out a cheer, but it feels like a lifetime has just passed” and that it wasn’t a “happy cheer” since all of them felt like their lives are at stake.

Johnny Depp’s Advice to Wilmer

Following the terrifying airplane fiasco, Wilmer acquired some recommendation from fellow actor Johnny Depp. In a separate excerpt from the memoir, per Us Weekly, the previous star of The Ranch famous that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor informed him to “focus on one character at a time” and to “bet on yourself” in his profession.

Wilmer & Ashton Kutcher’s ‘Friendly Rivalry’

While recollecting his time engaged on That ’70s Show, enjoying the character Fez, Wilmer described his and Ashton’s work relationship as a “friendly rivalry.” The co-stars would “see who could get the biggest laughs from the audience on [their] first take,” Wilmer wrote, in line with Us Weekly.

Although the 2 buddies delivered goofy performances on the present, Wilmer identified that Ashton “was far more intelligent in real life than the character he played, and he was far more serious about the craft of acting than it appeared.” The two of them would at all times come to set “extremely prepared” to present it their all, Wilmer added within the e-book.
