Cape Town – Ashton Kutcher shared his phone number, only to delete it a few hours later and everyone is convinced they have just been Punk’d.
According to multiple reports, the actor shared his mobile number with his 18 million Twitter followers on Tuesday night in order to have a “real connection” with people.
“I miss having a real connection w/ real people. My Community. From now on you can just text me. I won’t be able to respond to everyone but at least we can be real w/ each other & I can share the unedited latest & greatest in my world +1 (319) 519-0576,” his now-deleted tweet read, E! News reports.
If you SMS the number you will receive the following response:
“Hey it's Ashton. This is an autotext to let you know I got your message, everything else will be from me. Make sure you click the link and add yourself to my phone so I can respond to you.
“Welcome to my Community!
“This is what the lawyers are making me text you. There will be no more of that!!”
As expected people are not entirely convinced the number is really Ashton's personal line, and believe it could just be a publicity stunt.
