Ashton Kutcher and wife Mila Kunis hold hands on a casual dinner date with friends in Beverly Hills

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher put on a loved-up display at dinner with friends in Beverly Hills. 

On Friday evening, the happy couple, who met as costars on Fox's That '70s Show, were seen holding hands outside of Matu Steakhouse.

The pair was dressed casually for the date with the Black Swan actress, 41, wearing a gray hoodie, jeans, and white sneakers.

Meanwhile, the Two and a Half Men actor, 46, wore a light gray, short-sleeved shirt unbuttoned over a white t-shirt with jeans and a white Chicago Bears ball cap.

The outing comes later in the same day the trailer for Mila's upcoming movie with Michael Keaton, 72, Goodrich was released.

In the movie, Kunis and Keaton play an estranged father and daughter named Andy and Grace Goodrich.

His life is thrown into disarray when his wife enters a 90-day rehab program and leaves him in charge of their nine-year-old twins. He contacts Grace, his grown child from his first marriage, who is pregnant, for help.

'I am 27 years older than you, which is basically unheard of for siblings… except maybe in LA,' Grace says to her siblings in the trailer. 

The film also stars Andie MacDowell, Michael Urie, Carmen Ejogo, Laura Benanti, Kevin Pollak, Viven Lyra Blair, Nico Haraga and Danny Deferrari. The film hits theaters on October 18.

The couple's outing comes after Ashton was slammed for saying AI will 'be able to render a whole movie' leading many to come to the defense of the film industry.

Ashton suggested that entire movies could be produced using Sora, OpenAI’s latest generative video tool, during a recent discussion with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, per Variety.

'You’ll be able to render a whole movie,' the actor began. 'You’ll just come up with an idea for a movie, then it will write the script, then you’ll input the script into the video generator and it will generate the movie.'

He added: 'Instead of watching some movie that somebody else came up with, I can just generate and then watch my own movie.'

Kutcher added, 'Why would you go out and shoot an establishing shot of a house in a television show when you could just create the establishing shot for $100? To go out and shoot it would cost you thousands of dollars.

'Action scenes of me jumping off of this building, you don’t have to have a stunt person go do it, you could just go do it [with AI].'

He went on to describe how a prompt involving a marathoner running through a sandstorm, which would typically demand extensive CGI, could be generated with ease.

Critics were quick to call out the Hollywood star for suggesting that the movie-making magic could be left up to a computer.

'Imagine being Ashton Kutcher stepping onto a film set now, after coming out and advocating for all those crew people to lose their jobs and f***ing starve,' wrote one detractor. 'Gutsy choice, bud.'

A few fans even took swipes at the actor's resume, which includes such films as Just Married, No Strings Attached and The Butterfly Effect.

'You could probably make an Ashton Kutcher movie with OpenAI’s Sora, but you couldn’t make a good movie with it,' posted a follower. 

In May, Kutcher and Kunis sparked backlash after they were pictured enjoying an evening on the town with convicted rapist Danny Masterson's brother – months after issuing a groveling apology for supporting their That '70s Show co-star during his trial.

Back in September, the couple came under fierce fire after it was revealed that they had written letters to the judge defending Danny, 48, and begging the judge for 'leniency' in his sentencing.

Afterwards, they were sorry for the 'pain they had caused' and insisted that they 'support victims' in a short, joint video posted to their social media accounts.
