Ashton Kutcher apologizes publicly to Harry Styles after awkward encounter at karaoke party

Ashton Kutcher has publicly apologized to hitmaker Harry Styles for an extremely awkward encounter at a mutual friend’s karaoke party.

The 44-year-old actor admitted he had no idea who the former One Direction singer was when they first met, prompting him to make some embarrassing comments.

Ashton revealed in an interview with Don that he and his wife, actress Mila Kunis, were attending their neighbor’s lavish party when the awkward encounter occurred.

He explained that he had been in awe after seeing a partygoer perform ABBA and felt compelled to go and compliment the performance.

As it turned out, the artist was 29-year-old Harry, and Ashton didn’t realize it.

Ashton recalled, “I told him, ‘Man, I’ve got to tell you something. You’re like a karaoke ringer. You’re really, really good.'”

To which the singer humbly replied his thanks, saying that he ‘appreciated’ the compliment.

To Ashton’s horror, his friend informed him that he was a famous singer, and his wife Mila had to explain that Harry was, in fact, a big name in the music world and part of One Direction.

Ashton recalled, “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, now I feel like an idiot.’ He is a professional singer and we are trying to tell him that he is a good singer!’

He went on to issue a public apology via the magazine, saying, “I really want to say I’m sorry, Harry Styles.” But you’re really good at karaoke, man. Seriously, like really good.

It comes after Harry was officially added to the growing list of artists at the 2023 Grammy Awards, which will take place on February 5.

The As It Was hitmaker is nominated for an incredible six awards for his record-breaking album Harry’s House, which was released in May 2022.

Harry’s House is the third solo studio album from the former One Direction member since the boy band went on a “permanent hiatus” in August 2015.
