Ashton Kutcher Explains His Awkward Photos With Reese Witherspoon

Photos of Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon sparked rumors that the co-stars of the new film ‘Your Place or Mine’ secretly hate each other.

The internet was ablaze with speculation after the awkward photos of the two went viral.

On the Chicks in the Office podcast, Kutcher noted that even his wife, Mila Kunis poked at the awkwardness of the photos. “My wife called me. She texted me and Reese together and she’s like, ‘Guys, you gotta, like, act like you like each other.’ And I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’”

He went on to explain his reasoning behind his seemingly standoffish stance. “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 — the rumor would be that I’m having an affair with her. If I stand next to her, I put my hands in my pockets so there’s no chance that, like, that could be the rumor.”

While the explanation is endearing and respectable, I still believe that it was all just a PR stunt to promote the movie…and if so, it worked!
