Ashton Kutcher once praised Harry Styles for karaoke, then felt "dumb" after knowing he was a professional singer

Ashton Kutcher told Esquire an amusing story about how he met Harry Styles at a karaoke party hosted by his and his wife Mila Kunis' neighbor, "an extraordinarily well-known singer, that is maybe the best singer today." The 44-year-old Your Place or Mine star recalled, "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 and I go up to him. And we're like, 'Man, I got to tell you something, you're a ringer. You're like a karaoke ringer. You're really good, like really good.'" "He's like, 'Thanks, man. Thank you, I really appreciate that.' So we go to our friend and we go, 'God, that guy was really good, huh?' And they're like, 'It's Harry Styles.' And I was like, 'Who's that?' Mila's like, 'It's the guy from the boy band. He's a professional singer.'"

And we're trying to tell him he's a good singer. And I 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."
