Ashton Kutcher is discussing his place on the red carpet next to co-star Reese Witherspoon.

In case you missed it, the pair—who co-star in the upcoming romantic comedy Your Place or Mine—have recently posed together for Red Carpet photos. And social media users have pointed out that the pair seemed to look a bit distant and even awkward.

The Punk’s alum said he stood awkwardly next to Reese Witherspoon on red carpets to avoid affair rumors, and on his Chics in the Office podcast Ashton shared he’s “hard of hearing,” so that combined with the photographer frenzy on the carpets may have played a factor in his unenthused face. His wife Mila Kunis even sent an e-mail to both of them saying lighten up it’s a rom com!
