Ashton Kutcher Breaks Silence on Bizarre Claims He and Mila Kunis Skip Showers

Ashton Kutcher is finally clearing up one of the strangest rumors that has followed him for years. The actor has responded to claims that he and his wife Mila Kunis do not shower, a story that started online and refused to go away.

Kutcher addressed the issue in a new interviewwhile promoting his upcoming series The Beauty. He admitted he still cannot believe how far the story spread. “It was the craziest thing of all time,” he said. According to him, one old comment turned into people seriously wondering if he smelled bad. “People were like, ‘Does he stink? Does he smell?’” he added.

During the interview, Kutcher made sure to shut the rumor down completely. “I shower, I go to the gym, I shower,” he said plainly. His co-star Anthony Ramos backed him up right away and joked, “I can confirm my boy showers.” That moment seemed to finally put the long-running internet joke to rest.

The whole thing started back in 2021 on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. Kutcher and Kunis were talking casually about parenting and hygiene. Kunis explained that growing up in the Soviet Union without hot water shaped her habits, saying she “didn’t shower much anyway.” She also shared that she didn’t bathe her newborn kids very often.

Kutcher then made the comment that went viral. “If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point,” he said at the time. Many people online took that line literally, and the internet quickly decided the couple never bathed. What was meant as a relaxed parenting joke turned into years of memes and headlines.

Now, Kutcher says the rumor has gone far enough. He wanted to clear the air not just for fans, but also for the people he works with.

Outside of the hygiene talk, Kutcher has been busy promoting The Beauty, a Ryan Murphy-produced series based on a comic book. The show imagines a world where a disease makes people beautiful, but with deadly consequences. Kutcher stars alongside Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope.

Kutcher has also been in the news for other reasons lately. He recently shared a story about being dropped from a Gucci modeling job years ago and praised his ex-wife Demi Moore’s performance in the 2024 film The Substance. Fans have noticed similarities between that film and his new show, since both explore obsession with physical perfection.

Ashton Kutcher first became famous on That ’70s Show before moving into movies, TV, and business. He later starred on Two and a Half Men and became a major investor in tech companies. He is also known for his charity work through Thorn, an organization focused on protecting children online.

Mila Kunis continues to have a successful career of her own, from Family Guy to films like Black Swan and Bad Moms. The couple has been married since 2015 and shares two children.

For now, Kutcher seems relieved to finally shut down one of the internet’s weirdest celebrity rumors. Whether people will actually stop talking about it is another question entirely.
