Wondering what Ashton Kutcher has been up to lately? Well, wonder no more. In Esquire's newest episode of "Explain This"—which debuted on the occasion of our Esquire US's first-ever digital cover story, which features Kutcher—the actor let us in on a his go-to karaoke story, which features a cameo by none other than Harry Styles. But Kutcher didn't know that. At first.
"There's an extraordinarily well known singer, that is maybe the best singer today, that we happen to be neighbours with, and she happens to be throwing a karaoke party," Kutcher says in the video. And she gets up and does this like out of the world bananas [performance], and I'm like this is just so unfair." Ashton never names the first singer, so conjure up your best guess before you get to the kicker here. We'll let you read the rest of the story in full:
And then this other kid gets up, and he does this ABBA song... I'm like, oh my god. It's bananas. So this kid gets off stage, and Mila [Kunis] and I go up to him. We're like, 'Man, I got to tell you something, you're a ringer. You're like a karaoke ringer. You're really good.' He goes, 'Thanks, man, thank you. I really appreciate that.' So we go to our friend and we go, 'God, that guy was really good, huh?' And he's like, 'It's Harry Styles.' And I was like, 'Who's that?' Mila's like, 'It's the guy in the boy band. He's a professional singer.' Oh my god, now I feel like a jerk. He's a professional singer. And we're trying to tell him he's a good singer. And I like feel so dumb. So I just really want to say, I'm sorry Harry Styles, but you're really good at karaoke, man. Seriously, like really good.
You heard it here first, people: Harry Styles, a really good singer! Watch the rest of the video to see what else Kutcher has to say. Currently, he's rebooting our nostalgia with his appearance in the Netflix's That '90s Show. Plus, Kutcher will usher in his grand return to rom-coms with the upcoming Netflix film, Your Place or Mine. "I've always wanted to do a rom-com with Reese Witherspoon," he adds. Well, we can't wait to see what romantic chemistry he whips with Witherspoon.
