Ashton Kutcher has been sporting shorter hair for a while now and he joked about it in L.A. on Monday while participating in a PaleyFest panel event.

When asked about his clean cut look, the Two and a Half Men star quipped, “Jesus want his look back so I gave it to him.”

Show creator Chuck Lorre gave the crowd a more finite explanation. It turns out the spiffed up look had to do with Kutcher’s character and his love interest Zoey.

Lorre said, “We wanted to tell a story about being in a relationship and being pressured to change. Walden pushed back and said, ‘You can’t change me. This is who I am.’ But once she stopped trying he got a haircut and changed.”

Well there you have it. Frankly he looks good either way but we’ve got to ask … long or short?
