AceShowbiz - Ashton Kutcher is sorry over an awkward exchange with Harry Styles at a karaoke party. The 44-year-old actor and his wife Mila Kunis, 39, ran into the former One Direction superstar at a party hosted by their neighbour, and the "As It Was" singer was also at the gathering.
"There's an extraordinarily well-known singer - that is maybe the best singer today - that we happen to be neighbours with. She was throwing a karaoke party, and she gets up and does this out of this world, bananas, and I'm just like, this is so unfair. And then this other kid gets up and he does this ABBA song," Ashton recalled the tale in Esquire.
It turned out to be none other than Harry himself, but Ashton had no clue as he approached him after his song. He said at the time, "Man, I gotta tell you something. You're like a karaoke singer. You're really good, like, really good." Harry replied, "Thanks man, thank you. I really appreciate that."
It was only after the exchange that the "That '70s Show" star found out who he'd been talking to. He recalled, "We go to our friend, and we go, 'God, that guy was really good.' And they're like, 'It's Harry Styles.' And I was like, 'Who's that?' " Mila then said, "It's the guy from the boyband! He's like a professional singer!"
Ashton felt "like a jerk" after the awkward mishap, but now he's able to laugh about the incident. He added, "I was like, '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... I just really want to say I'm sorry, Harry Styles. But you're really good at karaoke, man. Seriously, like really good."
