He had big shoes to fill as a hasty replacement for sacked leading man Charlie Sheen, but the warmth afforded his introduction man has given Ashton Kutcher the opportunity to star alongside pregnant fiancée Mila Kunis in a new episode of Two And A Half Men – and have a crack at the expense of their old show.
Kutcher – who plays 'internet entrepreneur' Walden Schmidt - stars alongside stunning Mila in a new installment of the hit US sitcom, and their initial meeting comes as he pauses to reflect on his situation with an urn containing the ashes of Sheen's character, playboy Charlie Harper.
The actress gingerly taps on his patio door as Schmidt, talking directly to the urn, quips 'You'd have to be on crack to give all this up' – a pithy reference to Sheen's alleged private life and subsequent dismissal from the show in 2011.
The episode is the first time Kutcher and Kunis have starred together since playing respective characters Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhart - on-screen lovebirds - in the seventies based Fox show, which aired from 1998 to 2006. Another Two And A Half Men clip sees Walden setting up his work desk in front of a beautiful ocean view.Vivian is then seen coming into the living room before joking: 'Wow look at you. Now you can look at the ocean and look at porn at the same time.'He replies: 'I don't like looking at naked women... that didn't come out right.'With her brunette locks left loose, Mila showcases her pregnancy glow as she opts for minimal make-up.
