Actor Ashton Kutcher recently appeared on Esquire’s newest episode of Explain This and recalled a hilarious story about his first encounter with singer Harry Styles. The actor recalled that he was once invited to a “well-known” singer’s karaoke party in his neighborhood. He said,
“There’s an extraordinarily well-known singer, that is maybe the best singer today, that we happen to be neighbors with, and she happens to be throwing a karaoke party. And she gets up and does this like out of the world bananas [performance], and I’m like this is just so unfair.”
The actor did not name the singer but he and his wife, Mila Kunis, were glad to be a part of the party.

The Valentine’s Day star further explained that after the singer gave her performance, a “kid” went up to the stage and sang a song by ABBA. He loved his performance and he decided to tell him that,
“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 singer. You’re like a karaoke singer. You’re really good.’ He goes, ‘Thanks, man, thank you. I really appreciate that.'”
The actor and his wife went up to Styles and told him that his performance was really good. The singer was kind as he thanked him.

“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.”
Well, that’s one performance that Kutcher will never forget. He concluded by apologizing to the singer and once again praised his performance.
