Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher put on a show for critics at the latest screening of Your Place or Mine after the pair were put on blast for being awkward with each other.
The pair are currently doing the rounds, promoting the new Netflix rom-com and fans have noticed they have been less than comfortable posing together for photos on the red carpet.
Ashton’s movie star wife Mila Kunis, 39, was among those to point out their ‘awkward’ behaviour, blaming the actors’ height difference for their lack of carpet chemistry.
Reese explained earlier in the day that Mila had commented on their stiff red carpet appearances in the past.
‘She even emailed us last night,’ the star during Monday’s episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna.
She continued: ‘She goes, “You guys look so awkward on the red carpet together.” … It’s just fun ‘cause when you know a girlfriend so much, it was just fun to get to know her significant other ‘cause I’ve loved her for so long.’

During their most recent outing, the Two and a Half Men star towered over Reese as they giggled and joked with each other for the cameras.
The Oscar-winning actress, 46, sported a white mini dress that featured a gold braided trim and peach-coloured heels with gold accents.
Her co-star, 45, loomed above her in casual jeans and a jumper at the screening that was held at The Paris Theatre in New York City.
Their dramatic height difference was eye-catching as the mom-of-three stood next to Ashton and appeared to be more than a foot shorter than her on-screen lover.

Your Place or Mine documents an unusual house swap between Debbie (Reese) and her super successful best friend Peter (Ashton) for one week in the famous American city.
In typical rom-com fashion, absence made the heart grow fonder and the pair ultimately realise their true feelings for one another.
The duo posed for numerous fun snaps before they were joined by Jesse Williams who plays Theo in the flick.
Jesse is known for starring as Dr Jackson Avery on the ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy and donned a dark brown knit shirt, loafers and black pants for the occasion.
Assembling themselves in front of the photographers, the trio stuck around for pictures with the rest of the cast that included Zoë Chao, Aline Brosh McKenna, Tig Notaro and Michael Costigan.
