Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher

This cheeky interview comes after the co-stars made headlines fortheir “awkward” red-carpet appearancewhen promoting the film.

The duo were photographed next to each other on the premiere red carpet and didn’t seem to be showing any platonic chemistry, let alone the romantic chemistry they had to share on screen.

Kutcher claims this is because he didn’t want to seem like he was having an affair with his co-star, saying, “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,” Kutcher explained while appearing on theChicks in the Officepodcast. “Like, the rumor would be that I’m having an affair with her.”

However, his wife,Mila Kunis, despite his respect for their relationship, poked fun at him for the awkward photos. Saying,“You guys look so awkward on the red carpet together,“in an email shared with theTODAYshow.
