On the “Chicks in the Office” podcast, Ashton talks about his goofy appearance on the red carpet with his co-star Reese Witherspoon. The actors were there to promote their new movie ‘Your Place or Mine’, but all the attention went to their body language. It was so awkward that even Mila Kunis commented on it. “My wife texted Reese and me, ‘Come on guys, you guys have to pretend you like each other,’” says Ashton.

It was mainly to avoid gossip about him and Reese that Ashton barely made physical contact with her. “If I put my arm around her, word would spread that I’m having an affair with Reese,” Kutcher said. “If I’m standing next to her with my hands in my pockets, they’re more likely to think we don’t like each other.” And that is certainly not the case, Ashton assures. “Reese and I are good friends, we’re very close.”
