Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher share hilarious bath time video mocking debate over washing their children

‘You’re putting water on the children?! Are you trying to melt them?!’ Kutcher yells in the clip

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have responded to the debate over how much they wash their children with a video at bath time.

The pair made headlines in July when they revealed in an interview that they only bathe their children when “you can see the dirt on them”.

Responding to media and public’s interest in the story, Kutcher shared a video on Instagram of himself and Kunis during bath time with their daughter Wyatt Isabelle, six, and son Dimitri Portwood, four.

In the clip, captioned “this bathing thing is out of hand”, Kutcher shouts in mock-outrage: “You’re putting water on the children?! Are you trying to melt them?! This is ridiculous! What’s going on?”

Through her laughter, Kunis responds: “We’re bathing our children.”

“That’s like the fourth time this week!” Kutcher yells back.

“It’s too much!” Kunis agrees, with Kutcher adding: “Their body oils are gonna be destroyed! What are you trying to do?”

Kunis then dissolves into helpless laughter.

Kutcher and Kunis’s comments about bathing their children prompted many other celebrities to reveal their own washing habits.

Jake Gyllenhaal confessed that he is finding “bathing to be less necessary”, adding: “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.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, meanwhile, said he is a fan of showering. “Nope, I’m the opposite of a ‘not washing themselves’ celeb,” he tweeted. “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.”
