'I starred in my first ever film with Demi Moore... when Ashton Kutcher was just seven': Jon Cryer ribs new Two And A Half Men star


Jon Cryer today revealed he made his big screen debut alongside Ashton Kutcher's wife, Demi Moore.
The pair, who were both part of the Hollywood Brad Pack, starred in the kitsch 1984 comedy romance No Small Affair.
Cryer, 46, played a 16-year-old amateur photographer who falls in love with a 22-year-old singer, played by Moore, after accidentally taking a photograph of her.

And Cryer, who also appeared in Pretty in Pink, admits he couldn't resist ribbing his new Two And A Half Men recruit over the fact Ashton was just a child at the time. 
'[Ashton] and I have a connection,' Cryer told KTLA this afternoon. 'His wife and I did my first movie together - when he was seven.'
'I'm not joking! I hold it over his head a bit.'
The programme's anchors burst into laughter and he added that Kutcher, 33, would have been watching cartoons at the time his 48-year-old wife's career was kicking off.

But he was also quick to praise about his new co-star, who filmed his first show on Friday.
'Ashton was amazing,' he said. 'He tore the roof off the place. The man works hard for the money. It's a lovely vibe.'
He also revealed that Moore visited the set after Kutcher's first day on the job.
Cryer said: 'She came on Friday night, looking fantastic as usual.'

He also made it clear he is keen to put the Charlie Sheen ordeal behind him.

'I never want to go through that again,' he said. 'It was an awful thing to be a part of. I'm glad that some peace has come out of it.'
He wouldn't give away details about how Sheen's character Charlie Harper dies, saying only: 'It's funny.'
Sheen, who was spectacularly fired from the show earlier this year, today revealed he will be tuning in to watch his character's funeral.
'Who is not going to watch?' he told Radar Online. 'I'll be there front and centre, I'm just as curious as everybody else. It should be fun.'
He also offered his support to his replacement.
'I'm actually rooting hard for him, that worm is turning,' Sheen said.
Sheen's Comedy Central Roast will air the same night as Two And A Half Men's TV ninth season premiere on September 19 - but in different time slots.
'I think it anyone should be roasted in that manner, it should be me,' Sheen said.
