Ashton Kutcher<\/a> is freshening up some dirty rumors about his personal hygiene following a controversial 2021 podcast appearance with wife Mila Kunis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Kutcher, 47, and Kunis, 42, raised eyebrows over their admission about their family’s showering habits (or speculated lack thereof) during a 2021 interview on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast<\/a>, the actor cleared the air in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly’s sister publication, PEOPLE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It was the craziest thing of all time,” the Beauty<\/a> TV series actor said of backlash to the couple’s prior comments.<\/p>\n

He added, “We made a comment at one point, and people were like, ‘Does he stink? Does he smell?'”<\/p>\n

Kutcher then turned toward his fellow Beauty actors Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, and attempted to explain the situation to them.<\/p>\n

“There was a comment on a podcast, so long ago\u2026 and people are like, ‘They don’t shower.’ I’m like, ‘I shower, I go to the gym, I shower,'” Kutcher told his costars.<\/p>\n

With a laugh, Ramos told the publication, “I can confirm my boy showers.”<\/p>\n

In the 2021 podcast episode, Kunis, who was born in the Soviet Union before moving to the U.S. at 7, admitted, “I didn’t have hot water growing up as a child, so I didn’t shower much anyway.” Later, she added of the couple’s children who were born in 2014 and 2016, “But when I had children, I also didn’t wash them every day…. I wasn’t that parent that bathed my newborns \u2014 ever.”<\/p>\n

Kutcher half-jokingly observed, “Now, here’s the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point.”<\/p>\n

Kutcher has courted attention for several recent interviews during The Beauty’s press tour, for everything ranging from a rare comment about ex-wife Demi Moore<\/a> to an allegation that designer Tom Ford once fired him from a Gucci modeling gig for looking “too fat”<\/a> in a pink Speedo.<\/p>\n

The That ’70s Show alum praised Moore’s work in the 2024 film The Substance, after many fans drew comparisons between the Oscar-winning project and Ryan Murphy’s comic book adaptation The Beauty, as both revolve around people using mysterious substances in pursuit of physical perfection.<\/p>\n

“One, Demi’s performance in\u00a0The Substance, obviously she got extraordinary accolades. I’m so proud of her, she killed it,” Kutcher said, praising Moore.<\/p>\n

The Beauty premieres Wednesday on Hulu on Disney+.<\/p>\n
