Imagine hitting someone with your car and them only wanting a photo with you in exchange for the harm done. Well, that’s what happened to #AshtonKutcher after he hit a teenager on a scooter.
On Tuesday, 19-year-old Leo Marenghi was on his way to pick children he babysits up from school when he was suddenly hit by a Black Tesla. To his surprise, behind the wheel was actor and comedian Ashton Kutcher. “I was picking them up from school and I was riding a scooter when Ashton was pulling out of Sunset Bronson Studios,” Marenghi said.
“I was on the floor and when I got up he was getting out of his car,” the 19-year-old tells PEOPLE. “He was really nice about it and acted concerned. He asked me if I was okay and I said, ‘Yeah, I’m fine. Can I get a picture with you?’”
Kutcher was “shocked” that he only wanted a photo. “I don’t intend to go after him [legally]. I feel like it was kind of my fault because I was on a scooter and it was hard to see me,” Marenghi said. “I just feel like that would be trashy.” Luckily, they didn’t have to do a typical selfie because a security guard was there and happily snapped the pic of the two.
“I immediately called my sister and my mom. Luckily I took a photo with him otherwise they wouldn’t have believed me!” Marenghi said. While Marenghi says he “woke up feeling worse” than the day before, he maintains that he is “still alright.” The boy took to Instagram and posted a pic with a caption that read, “Got hit by a car today…But it’s ok because it was by Ashton Kutcher.
