Ashton Kutcher asks fans to 'just text me', tweets his phone number only to pull it down later

Ashton Kutcher tweeted out his phone number on Tuesday in a bid to encourage his fans to text him, saying he misses “having a real connection [with] real people.” In a now-deleted tweet, the 40-year-old actor wrote, “I miss having a real connection with 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 with each other & I can share the unedited latest & greatest in my world. Yes this is my #.” However, a few hours later, Kutcher posted that he will be changing his social media strategy starting tomorrow.

Changing my social media strategy starting tomorrow. Stay tuned.
