Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher Mock Cleanliness Debate During Kids' Bath Time: 'Are You Trying To Melt Them?'
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have addressed the controversy sparked by their comments about only washing their children when they see dirt on them.
Kutcher shared a hilarious video on Instagram on Wednesday, August 12, where he and his wife stood in the bathroom and discussed washing their kids. "This bathing thing is out of hand," the hunk captioned the post. "#KutcherBathroomTalks."
"You're putting water on the children? Are you trying to melt them?" the 43-year-old joked while recording Kunis. "Are you trying to injure them with water? This is ridiculous! What's going on?"
"We're bathing our children," the Bad Moms star said.
The Two And A Half Men actor joked that it was "the fourth time this week" the kids had been cleaned, which Kunis said was "too much."
"Their body oils are going to be destroyed. What are you trying to do?" Kutcher asked.
Fans didn't hold back their thoughts in the comment section.
"I was wondering when you guys would address the madness 😂 People made such a huge drama with 5 words. You’re good sport (and great parents I’m pretty sure too)," one user wrote.
"Yesss!!! Finally! Please bath your kids everyday!!!! Hhahaha," another joked.
"Thank u guys reallly was starting to smell u through the screen," a third fan commented.

The conversation began when the That '70s Show co-stars appeared on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast last month. Kunis, 37, said that when she had her children, she did not bathe them every day.
Shepard said that he and wife Kristen Bell used to bathe daughters Lincoln, 8, and Delta, 6, every day as "part of a nighttime routine," but stopped when their kids got older. "I'm a big fan of waiting for the stink," Bell later said on The View. "Once you catch a whiff, that's biology's way of letting you know you need to clean it up."
Other celebs then weighed in on the topic, including Cardi B, Chris Evans and Monica Padman. Jake Gyllenhaal told Vanity Fair that he finds bathing "to be less necessary, at times."
"I do also think that there's a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves," the Donnie Darko star said.
Meanwhile, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson took things to a different extreme. The 49-year-old told fans on Twitter that he showers three times a day. "Shower (cold) when I roll outta bed to get my day rollin'. Shower (warm) after my workout before work. Shower (hot) after I get home from work. Face wash, body wash, exfoliate and I sing (off key) in the shower," he explained.
Terry Crews has a similar hygiene routine, and told Access Hollywood that he showered three times a day too. "See, me and Dwayne are right!" the Brooklyn 99 star said. "I took one in the morning after the workout and then I took one before I got here, and then I took one in between acts."
Kutcher and Kunis tied the knot in 2015 and share children Wyatt Isabelle, 6, and Dimitri Portwood, 4.
