And a third added: "I’m old enough to remember an internet countdown to the Olsen Twins’ 18 birthday. It was a gross era."
This resurfaced interview from the early 2000's has circulated on social media as Ashton and his wife Mila Kunis broke their silence following their co-star Masterson being sentenced to prison for the rape of two women. In their shared statement, the two actors apologised for giving the actor letters of support prior to his conviction.
In the original letters, Ashton referred to Danny has his "role model" and commended him for his "exceptional character." On Saturday, the famous couple rebuked their original statements and uploaded a video to Instagram to saying sorry to anyone they may have offended.
In the video, Ashton began by saying: "We are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters that we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson." Mila continued: "We support all victims. We have done this historically through all our work and will continue to do so in the future."

Mila insisted that the letters of support weren't meant to question the legitimacy of the court system or the validity of Masterson's ruling. Mila added that she stands with and supports "every single person who has ever been a victim of sexual assault, sexual abuse, or rape".
After days of deliberation a jury found Masterson guilty on May 31 sentencing the actor to 30 years in prison. The two sexual assault cases in question occurred in 2003 during which he was actively filming That 70's Show. Masterson was also alleged to have raped a third woman but the jury did not reach a unanimous decision on the third allegation and the charges were dismissed.
