Wilmer Valderrama is opening up like never before in his new memoir,
An American Story: Everyone’s InvitedAn American Story: Everyone’s Invited. Throughout the book, the NCIS star recalled his days working with his That ’70s Show castmates and his experience immigrating from Venezuela to California. Some of the biggest highlights from his memoir delve into specific memories, including a frightening airplane emergency and the apparent “rivalry” that he and co-star Ashton Kutcher shared.
News47.us has rounded up the biggest highlights from Wilmer’s book, below.
At one point in the book, Wilmer recalled a terrifying “shaky” plane ride with some of his That ’70s Show co-stars, including Ashton and Danny Masterson, according to 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 explained in 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 were in for a bumpy ride; Wilmer recalled the oxygen masks dropping from the top.
“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 in the book. “We fumble with our masks. Something is definitely not right with this plane. … Ashton’s jaw has dropped to his lap.”
