Actor Ashton Kutcher recently addressed why he looked awkward in a recent set of pictures with Reese Witherspoon. Kutcher and Witherspoon are currently promoting their film Your Place or Mine. While they were part of a promotional session together, fans found their chemistry to be a little lack-lustre. 

As the Two and a Half-Men star appeared on the Chicks in the Office podcast, he explained he had to make a choice about posing in the promotional picture.

Ashton Kutcher said if he got too cosy with the Legally Blonde star, that might have indicated that he was having an affair with her.

At the same time, if he was awkward around her, that might have indicated that they have no chemistry. Ashton Kutcher, apparently, chose the latter option. 

“Here’s the thing: if I put my arm around her, and was like all friendly with her, I’d be having an affair with her. Like, the rumour would be that I’m having an affair with her. If I stand next to her and put my hands in my pockets so there’s no chance that that could be the rumour, then the rumour is we don’t like each other.”

Ashton Kutcher is currently married to star Mila Kunis. Reese Witherspoon previously revealed what Mila Kunis thought about the awkward pictures. Witherspoon told TODAY that Mila Kunis sent her an email, saying: “You guys look so awkward on the red carpet together.”

More on Your Place or Mine

Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon are set to be part of Your Place or Mine, a romantic comedy in which Kutcher stars as Peter and Witherspoon stars as Debbie.
