“I don’t remember shooting this,” Kutcher said while watching one of his That ’70s Show scenes with Kunis. “It was 25 years ago.” He added, “It’s funny, someday my kids are gonna have to watch this and they’re gonna be real confused about what was real and what wasn’t real. And then we’ll have to walk them through it. Terrifying to think.”
During the video, Kutcher also talked about how his romance with Kunis started, and the “irony” of their journey.
“The irony of this whole thing? While I was making No Strings Attached, my wife was making a movie called Friends with Benefits, it’s the exact same plot. We were both making virtually the same movie. And the way we ended up together was very much a friends with benefits, no strings attached relationship that became something more than that.

Are Jackie and Kelso Together in That ’90s Show?
Whenย That ’70s Showย ended, Jackie ended up with Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), but it was revealed inย That ’90s Showย thatย Jackie is now married to Kelso. Previously, Kunisย expressed concerns about her characterย ending up with Kelso, but the upside was getting to act alongside her real-life husband once again. Recently,ย That ’90s Showย creators Terry Turner, Bonnie Turner, and Gregg Mettler talked toย Buzzfeedย aboutย Kutcher and Kunis’ brief cameo.ย
The creators revealed that Kutcher studied his lines on the couch in the Formans’ basement, which was also his routine while makingย That ’70s Show. Bonnie Turner told the outlet that Kutcher fell asleep, and had a bit of a shock when he woke up to see his wife dressed as Jackie again. “He said, ‘When I woke up, it was Mila standing over me, and I opened my eyes. I looked around and I was in the Forman basement with my wife staring up at the [lighting] grid, dressed as Jackie. It was the strangest feeling I’ve ever had. I literally didn’t know [what year] I was [in] for a minute,’” Turner shared.
“When Ashton and Mila came in together in that scene, I thought that was really the icing on the cherry on the sundae of this show,” Terry Turner added. Mettler added of Kutcher and Kunis’ moment in the show’s first episode, “That scene, I wrote all at once. Just spilled out of my fingers. I wanted Ashton to say, ‘Damn, Jackie’ so bad.”
That ’90s Show is now streaming on Netflix.
