The actor says in the video: “Hilary Duff is in Lizzie McGuire, she also has an album out. She’s going to be in a movie called Cheaper by the Dozen. And she’s one of the girls that we’re all waiting for to turn 18. Along with the Olsen twins.”

One user shared a video calling Kutcher, ''a slime ball.''

Reacting to the clip, one user wrote: ''Gross, gross, gross, gross.''

Another called him ''creepy AF''.

''EWWWWWWW Ashton Kutcher had no business talking about Hilary Duff like this on Punk’d. The weirdest part is they had just filmed Cheaper by the Dozen together…'' another user wrote.

''the amount of “countdown to 18” clocks there were on underage child actors in the 2000s is sickening to think about.'' a third user wrote.

Hilary and Ashton have worked together in the movie Cheaper by the Dozen.
