Ashton Kutcher recently addressed the attention-grabbing photos from the premiere of the Netflix rom-com, Your Place or Mine, where he stood somewhat awkwardly alongside Reese Witherspoon.
Kutcher explained on the Chicks in the Office podcast that he purposefully refrained from putting his arm around Witherspoon or appearing too friendly to avoid sparking rumors of an affair. In the viral photos, Kutcher maintained a serious expression with hands in his pockets, emphasizing his intention to thwart any speculation.
Witherspoon, too, acknowledged the peculiar snapshots and shared that Kutcher's wife, Mila Kunis, even pointed out their perceived lack of chemistry. Kunis jokingly emailed them, commenting on the awkwardness of their red carpet appearance. Witherspoon clarified that her friendship with Kunis predates her connection with Kutcher, highlighting the camaraderie she shares with both.
Despite the perceived awkwardness on the red carpet, Witherspoon spoke highly of Kutcher's professionalism and humor during the making of Your Place or Mine. She described him as a goofball and expressed how much fun they had working together. Kutcher echoed the sentiment on the Chicks in the Office podcast, praising Witherspoon's versatility and describing her as a movie star with an impressive range in both drama and comedy.
Your Place or Mine, written and directed by Aline Brosh McKenna, features Witherspoon and Kutcher as Debbie and Peter, two best friends with contrasting lifestyles. The plot revolves around their decision to swap homes and schedules, leading to the realization that what they were missing in their lives might be each other. Despite the red carpet antics, the stars thoroughly enjoyed collaborating on the Netflix film.
